THE BATCORDER-SYSTEM

Automatic recording of bat calls in real-time.

The tool for professional consulting work, bat surveys, nacelle monitoring and windpower site monitoring. The batcorder-system is a well established solution for acoustic monitoring of bats. Due to its high degree of automation it relieves you of a lot of work and thus saves not only time but also money. The hardware and software comes in various packages and there should be a product suitable for your monitoring needs. The base device for recording bats is the batcorder. A world-wide unique algorithm is responsible for triggering recordings on bat calls.

Originally designed for the classical automatic recording of bats within a single night at a location. The batcorder has evolved in more than 20 years to a versatile tool especially developed for independent long-term monitoring at nearly every location. Using the box-extension a solar panel can be used for battery charging. The installation of the GSM-batcorder in wind turbine nacelles was done for more than 7000 turbine years.

Our various hardware products are optimized for certain usage scenarios. For every solution we focus on simple-as-possible usage. This reduces user errors that would occur with complicated menus or settings. Lower power usage and flexibility of power sources as well as exchangeable storage gives you the possibility to run a recorder for a prolongued period of time at a location. You stay independent of the power grid. Recordings are stored in high quality . Our software bcAdmin offers a simple to use yet powerful UI to manage recordings of single or multiple devices. It implements an automatic call finder, automatic id based on deep machine learning and offers various analysis of the results. And yet you can control every single result manually.

Use our system in manifold ways. General bat detection with ground based devices is done using the batcorder. Since more than 15 years long-term monitoring is possible for example with the box extension. Use it at sunny sites with no need to exchange batteries – sun for the solar panel is needed only. Or at underground sites, with its low power usage you will still get long runtimes.
