Song meterAnd
Song meteris a device developed to observe and investigate the ecology of wild animals using sound.It is designed to be operated for long periods of time, assuming long-term operation outdoors.
The biggest feature is that long-term continuous observation is possible by automatically recording wild animal calls and surrounding sounds, and recording schedules can be programmed.This allows us to understand in detail the habitat conditions and behavioral patterns of wild animals such as birds and bats.
Song Meter is primarily used by researchers and nature conservation managers, and has greatly contributed to the protection and management of wildlife and the understanding of ecosystems.
