Equine Alert Taking Orders

Jun 2, 2010

Equine Alert has had requests for service as far away at the Middle East. It seems like the need for intrusion, fire and video monitoring is becoming a part of equestrian services world-wide.

Equine Alert has perfected systems that integrate with DSL, land line, high speed Internet access systems throughout the United States. "We are still trying to overcome the FAP of satellite Internet providers to provide off-premises access to video services," said owner, Julie Calzone. "We are able to provide all three through 'hard wired' Internet service. Off-premises video monitoring is possible with those services. Intrusion and fire monitoring is available through all Internet providers."

Monitoring services is becoming more standard at equestrian facilities as technology expands and is more scalable.

Equine Alert systems are designed specifically for detection of intrusion and/or fire in equine boarding and service structures. Equine Alert also offers the addition of video monitoring of area or specific stall with easy viewing via Internet communications.

"The key component in remote camera access is through satellite Internet connections," said Julie Calzone, founder and owner. "Our third party provider and installation partners are finalizing the connection stabilization needed to view and operate cameras remotely. The techonology is in place and our demonstration portal will be active shortly."

Conventional Internet connections are already operating via fiber optics, cable, DSL and other hard wire connections.

"We are finding a big demand for our system," said Calzone. "Horse owners, caretakers, breeding farms and veterinarians have been enthusiast in their response to our model."

Equine Alert has partnered with Lafayette Alarm for installation because of their expertise and nationwide GE provider network.  Acadian Ambulance provides the monitoring component for intrusion and fire detection. All three companies are based in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Equine Alert System Designed For Horse Industry

Sep 2, 2009

Equine Alert systems are an excellent way to keep an eye on horses and facilities even when you are not on property. Equine Alert was conceived and designed by Julie Calzone, a long-time equestrian. As a horse-owner, who has seen her fair share of nights sleeping in a barn aisle to monitor one of her horses she decided there had to be a better way to leverage technology to monitor and protect her horses and property.

"We fear barn fires and getting there too late. We want to see our horses even when we are not on premises. Most of us are used to using 'alarm companies' at our residences and offices, so the leap to the horse farm was a natural," said Julie Calzone.

"Video monitoring gives us the peace of mind that there is always an eye on our horses and farms. Unfortunately the news is filled with stories of foul play and we hope this system creates a safer home for horses."

Equine Alert systems are designed specifically for detection of intrusion and/or fire in equine boarding and service structures. Equine Alert also offers the addition of video monitoring of area or specific stall with easy viewing via Internet communications.

"With the huge substantial investment in  horses, equipment and facilities, it is just time to translate technology that we use at home and at business to the horse farm," said Calzone. "Unfortunately the news is all too often filled with foul play and theft involving horses. Recently we heard of horses that were poisoned or worse slaughtered for consumption."

Nationwide installation and monitoring systems are in place. Each system can be customized to meet the individual needs of each operation.
