ART have teamed up with Wildlife Acoustics to develop our turnkey bat acoustic monitoring system which provides reliable, real-time data on bat activity – a critical factor in wind farm fauna studies. Bats are a protected species, and accurate measurement of their frequency, behaviour, and presence is essential for project approvals and
environmental compliance.
Key Features
The ART bat mic solution incorporates rugged, all-weather ultrasonic microphones by Wildlife Acoustics, capable of detecting bat echolocation in real time. These sonic signals are captured and analysed by a SMART controller, which is installed at the base of the mast in a secure enclosure.
High-performance ultrasonic detection
Equipped with up to three rugged, all-weather microphones from Wildlife Acoustics, capable of detecting bat echolation in real time for accurate, continuous monitoring.
SMART data control
A mast-mounted, SMART controller securely captures and analyses acoustic signals, ensuring reliable data collection in the field.
Remote monitoring access
Access and manage your bat monitoring data anytime through the intuitive SMART web interface.
Flexible communications
The SMART gateway can operate using either independent communications or existing met mast comms infrastructure.
Customisable configuration
Solar and battery-powered operations ensure uninterrupted performance, even in remote or off-grid locations.
Adaptable installation options
Designed for flexible mounting and integration across a wide range of mast types and environmental conditions.
