Is there any way getting the audiomoth in an automatic triggering status to record bats or even a specific bat species? I read about the British Bat project where part of that seemed to be the case.
I would like use the automatic triggering to test battery life / find out about suitability for surveying bat migration in Special Protection Areas, where the device should be left alone during the breeding season as well as to compare the 'moth' with other devices used in the survey.
Thanks, Patrick
Hi Werner,
yes, the team responded and yes, it should be possible to have a trigger function.
there is a beta firmware for this the team wanted to share but which I didn't get until now.
I still hope it comes since I would like to test it in artificial roosts and their use during migration..spring is almost over but autumn will be here in a few months ;-)
Hi Patrick and Audiomoth team,
Have you found an answer to this yet? I have the same question and want to deploy Audiomoth as a passive detector left unattended in the field (all protected etc from the elements of course). Continuous recording per night can work, but results in lots of data filling the SD card, and longer analysis afterwards.
I looked at the newest configuration software and it does not seem to have such an option. Although I'm not sure how the "sleep" and "recording duration" options affect it, is it a type of trigger function?
