So far we are 100 percent catching the births of the foals. My daughter in Sweden, and my husband when at work in Scotland, watch after midnight! My step son did his homework buying these and setting them up. Hope this helps.

I want to be able to check them while I am at work. I have heard with some older mares the alarm can go off even if they just lay down and their vulva opens a little. I can't run home every time one of decides to lay down lol.

If you're mostly concerned about it while your away id go for video surveillance types.
