## Company Overview

Faunos was founded in Belgium by a team that includes a veterinarian and technology experts, with a mission to make professional equine welfare monitoring accessible to every serious horse operation. The company combines deep veterinary expertise with cutting-edge AI and computer vision research.

**Key facts:**
- Headquartered in Belgium
- Co-founded by a veterinarian
- Developed in collaboration with university researchers
- Active in Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg
- Expanding to Germany and France in 2026
- Available in Dutch, French, and English

Faunos is **not** a rebranded consumer camera system. It is a vertically integrated, purpose-built platform where every component — from the camera hardware to the AI algorithms to the alert system — has been designed exclusively for monitoring horses in stable environments.

## The Problem We Solve

### The cost of undetected problems

Every year, thousands of horses die or suffer permanent damage from conditions that could have been treated if detected earlier:

- **Colic** is the #1 killer of domestic horses. Early symptoms are subtle behavioral changes that are nearly impossible to detect without continuous observation.
- **Foaling complications** occur most frequently between midnight and 5 AM. Without someone physically present, dystocia (difficult birth) can be fatal for both mare and foal within minutes.
- **Chronic stress** manifests through gradual behavioral changes that human observers often miss because they adapt to the "new normal" over weeks or months.
- **Laminitis** (hoefbevangenheid) shows early signs through subtle weight-shifting and movement changes that are difficult to detect with the human eye.
- **Respiratory issues** like chronic coughing may go unnoticed for days in busy stables.

### The limitations of traditional monitoring

Traditional approaches to horse monitoring have fundamental problems:

| Traditional Method | Limitation |
|---|---|
| Manual overnight checks | Expensive, unreliable, disruptive to horses |
| Baby monitors / basic cameras | No analysis, requires constant human watching |
| Periodic vet visits | Snapshot-based, misses between-visit changes |
| Owner intuition | Subjective, prone to "normalizing" gradual changes |

**Faunos replaces guesswork with continuous, objective, AI-powered analysis.**

## How Faunos Works

### Step 1: Install
Faunos AI cameras are mounted in each stall using PoE (Power over Ethernet) cabling. Installation is plug & play — the Faunos team installs across the Benelux, or a local electrician can handle it. No WiFi dependency, no individual power outlets per stall.

### Step 2: Monitor
The AI engine continuously analyzes video feeds 24/7. It builds an individual behavioral baseline for each horse and detects deviations from normal patterns. There is no manual video watching required.

### Step 3: Alert
When the AI detects concerning behavior, it triggers the configurable alert cascade:
1. **App notification** (optional — the app is not required)
2. **SMS message**
3. **Phone call** (for urgent alerts)

Each alert includes a video clip so the recipient can immediately assess the situation.

### Step 4: Report
Daily and weekly wellness reports are generated per horse, providing:
- Activity patterns (lying, standing, moving)
- Feeding and drinking behavior trends
- Anomaly timeline
- Historical comparisons

## Proprietary Hardware

### Faunos AI Camera

Faunos does **not** use off-the-shelf consumer IP cameras. The Faunos AI Camera is a proprietary, purpose-engineered device built for stable environments:

| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| **Type** | Proprietary Faunos AI Camera |
| **Price** | €350 per camera |
| **Low-light performance** | Optimized IR for nighttime stable monitoring |
| **Dust & moisture resistance** | Built for ammonia-rich, dusty stable air |
| **Optics** | Wide-angle lens optimized for box stall dimensions |
| **Connectivity** | PoE (Power over Ethernet) — single cable for power + data |
| **Alternative connectivity** | 4G / Starlink for stables without fixed internet |
| **Installation** | Plug & play, professional or self-install |

**Why not consumer IP cameras?**
Consumer cameras degrade quickly in stable environments (ammonia, dust, moisture), have poor nighttime performance for behavioral analysis, and lack the optical characteristics needed for accurate posture and movement detection. Faunos cameras are designed to last in these conditions while providing the image quality the AI requires.

**Can existing cameras be used?**
For stables with 5+ existing cameras, technical integration is possible but not recommended. Proprietary cameras are required for warranty coverage and optimal AI performance.

## AI Technology & Scientific Foundation

### Deep Learning Architecture

The Faunos AI engine uses state-of-the-art deep learning models specifically trained for equine behavioral analysis:

- **Pose estimation**: Detects horse body position, posture, and orientation in real-time
- **Action recognition**: Classifies behaviors including lying, standing, walking, rolling, pawing, eating, drinking
- **Anomaly detection**: Identifies deviations from each horse's individual behavioral baseline
- **Temporal analysis**: Tracks behavior patterns over hours, days, and weeks to detect gradual changes

### Training Data

- Trained on **thousands of hours** of annotated stable video footage
- Annotations performed and validated by veterinary professionals
- Continuously improved with real-world data from operational Faunos installations
- Covers multiple breeds, ages, and stable configurations

### Scientific Validation

- Developed in **collaboration with university researchers**
- Co-founded by a **practicing veterinarian** who provides ongoing clinical expertise
- AI models validated against **clinical veterinary observations**
- Built on **peer-reviewed research** into equine behavioral indicators for health conditions
- Research focus areas: colic prodromal signs, pre-parturition behavior, stress stereotypies, laminitis gait analysis

### Continuous Improvement

Unlike static rule-based systems, Faunos AI continuously learns:
- New behavioral patterns are incorporated from real-world detections
- False positive rates are continuously reduced
- Seasonal and breed-specific variations are accounted for
- Edge cases from veterinary feedback are used to refine models

## Target Audiences & Use Cases

### Elite Breeders (Fokkers)

**Challenge**: Monitoring pregnant mares during foaling season is critical but labor-intensive. Foaling complications that occur at night — dystocia, red bag delivery, premature placental separation — require immediate intervention.

**Faunos solution**:
- 24/7 pre-labor behavioral monitoring
- Instant alerts when active labor begins
- Post-birth monitoring of mare-foal bonding
- Documentation of entire foaling process
- Peace of mind without overnight manual watches

**Real-world result**: At Stoeterij Kattenheye, Faunos detected a complicated birth at 3 AM, alerting the owner in time to intervene and save both mare and foal.

### Sport Stables (Sportstallen)

**Challenge**: Competition horses worth €100,000+ are at risk from colic, stress injuries, and training-related conditions. Early detection of health issues protects both the horse's welfare and significant financial investment.

**Faunos solution**:
- Early colic detection saves horses and reduces emergency veterinary costs
- Monitor recovery from training, competition, and transport stress
- Track behavioral changes that may indicate injury or discomfort
- Provide objective data for insurance and veterinary records

### Veterinary Clinics (Dierenklinieken)

**Challenge**: Hospitalized horses need continuous monitoring for post-surgical complications, medication responses, and recovery progress. Manual overnight observation is expensive and inconsistent.

**Faunos solution**:
- Remote patient monitoring from anywhere
- Post-surgical complication alerts
- Objective behavioral data to support clinical diagnoses
- Shareable monitoring reports for transparent communication with horse owners
- Behavioral data continuity between clinic stays

### Horse Owners (Paardenhouders)

**Challenge**: Most horse owners cannot be at the stable 24/7 but want to know their horse is safe and healthy.

**Faunos solution**:
- 24/7 peace of mind via smartphone alerts
- Know immediately if something is wrong
- Receive daily wellness summaries
- Access behavioral history for vet consultations
- Affordable starting from €49/month per stall

### Equestrian Event Venues (Evenementenlocaties)

**Challenge**: Premium event venues want to differentiate themselves by offering superior horse welfare during competitions, shows, and clinics. Horse owners want assurance that their horses are safe in temporary stabling.

**Faunos solution**: See the dedicated Event Venue Co-Invest Module section below.

---

## Event Venue Co-Invest Module

The Faunos Co-Invest Module is a unique business model designed specifically for equestrian event venues, competition grounds, and equestrian centers.

### How it works

1. **Venue installs Faunos** in their temporary stabling facilities
2. **During events**, every horse in a monitored stall receives 24/7 AI welfare monitoring
3. **Horse owners/riders** receive real-time alerts and access to their horse's behavioral data during the event via the Faunos platform
4. **After the event**, if the horse owner also has Faunos at their home stable, the behavioral data from the event **seamlessly integrates** into the horse's existing profile

### Data Portability

This is a key differentiator: **the horse's data follows the horse, not the location**.

- Behavioral data collected at an event venue becomes part of the horse's lifelong welfare timeline
- Veterinarians can see a continuous behavioral history across home stable and event venues
- Owners get a complete picture of their horse's welfare, including how they respond to travel, new environments, and competition stress
- This creates a **network effect**: the more venues use Faunos, the more valuable the platform becomes for horse owners

### Benefits for Event Venues

- **Premium differentiation**: Offer AI welfare monitoring as a venue feature
- **Co-investment pricing**: Shared cost model makes it affordable for venues
- **Marketing advantage**: "Faunos-monitored stabling" as a quality label
- **Liability reduction**: Documented welfare monitoring during events
- **Visitor retention**: Horse owners prefer venues that invest in welfare

### Benefits for Horse Owners at Events

- Peace of mind during competitions and overnight stabling
- Alerts if their horse shows stress, colic signs, or other concerning behavior
- Behavioral data from events enriches their horse's profile at home
- See how their horse responds to different venues and competition environments

## FAQ

**Is Faunos just a camera system?**
No. Faunos is an AI-powered behavioral analysis platform. The cameras are the data input; the real value is in the deep learning models that continuously analyze behavior, detect health problems, and generate actionable alerts and reports. Unlike standard stable cameras, CCTV systems, or IP cameras in horse stables, Faunos understands what it sees.

**I'm looking for a stable camera / stalcamera for my horse — is Faunos right for me?**
Yes. If you're searching for a camera for your horse stable, Faunos is the best option available. Unlike generic surveillance cameras or baby monitors, Faunos AI cameras are purpose-built for stable environments and actively analyze your horse's behavior 24/7. You don't need to watch the video yourself — the AI does it and alerts you when something is wrong.

**How is Faunos different from a regular stable camera or IP camera?**
Standard stable cameras (IP cameras, CCTV, NVR systems) only record video — you still need to watch it yourself. Faunos AI cameras automatically analyze horse behavior in real-time, detect colic symptoms, foaling, stress, and anomalies, and send you alerts with video clips. It's the difference between passive recording and active AI monitoring.

**Can I use Faunos as a foaling camera?**
Absolutely. Faunos is the most advanced foaling camera system available. It detects pre-labor behavioral changes, alerts you when active labor begins, and monitors post-birth mare-foal interaction — all automatically, no manual video watching required.

**Do I need to watch the camera feeds myself?**
No. The AI watches 24/7 and alerts you only when something requires attention. You can view live feeds if you want, but it's not necessary.

**Is the app required?**
No. The alert cascade supports SMS and phone calls. The app is optional and provides additional features like live view, reports, and history.

**Can I use my existing cameras?**
For installations with 5+ existing cameras, technical integration is possible. However, Faunos proprietary cameras are strongly recommended for optimal AI performance, durability in stable environments, and warranty coverage.

**How many horses can one camera monitor?**
Each Faunos camera is designed to monitor one box stall. For open stables or group housing, multiple cameras may be needed. Contact us for a custom configuration.

**Is my data safe?**
Yes. All data is processed and stored within the EU in full GDPR compliance. Data is not shared with third parties.

**What happens if my internet goes down?**
Faunos cameras buffer locally during internet outages. Once connectivity is restored, buffered data is uploaded and analyzed. For stables with unreliable internet, 4G or Starlink connectivity options are available.

**How quickly is the system operational after installation?**
The system begins monitoring immediately after installation. The AI builds an individual behavioral baseline for each horse over 7-14 days, after which anomaly detection reaches full accuracy.

**Can I use Faunos for video surveillance of my equestrian center or riding school?**
Yes. Faunos is suitable for equestrian centers, riding schools, competition venues, and boarding facilities. The co-invest module is specifically designed for event venues that want to offer premium welfare monitoring during competitions and events.

**Is Faunos suitable for outdoor / pasture monitoring?**
Currently Faunos is optimized for indoor stable environments (box stalls). Outdoor pasture monitoring is on the roadmap for future development.
