Your field

Each page covers the specifics: setup, what the station delivers, data, and who to talk to.

Nature centers & lodges

Live detections and today’s species list for visitors, on a lobby display, a trail kiosk or your own website. Guests follow the station from their phones.

Schools & educators

Senior living & health care

Live, local birdsong indoors for residents who cannot get outside, with the research on natural sound laid out plainly.

Research

Research-grade audio, autonomous recording, acoustic arrays, professional Motus detection and your choice of identification engine, at a price that permits deployment at scale.

Community science

Bird clubs, towns and watershed groups building a shared record of their wild spaces, with data that stands up in a report or a hearing.
