Hi,
I received AudioMoth yesterday and took a trial as per my requirement. I want to use Default mode (since no scheduling required). But each file should be of 5 mins duration. Hence I set Sleep duration = 00:00:05 (hh:mm:ss = 5 sec - to allow enough time for system to saving the file) and Recording duration = 00:05:00 (= 5 mins). But with the result, it continued recording on same file for > 5 mins.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is it currently not supported to use Sleep/Recording settings with Default mode? It would be very handy for me if supported in future.
As a workaround I used custom mode with same settings with a schedule of entire day (00:00 to 24:00).
Can someone pls guide.
PS: I got excellent recording of songs of Black-headed buntings with the Audiomoth placed near their favourite perch !
Clear. Thank you Alex.
Yes, DEFAULT mode will always make continous recordings using the current gain and sample rate but ignoring all the other settings. The correct thing to do is what you did - set a single recording period from 00:00 to 00:00 and then use CUSTOM mode.
