Hi, We have started putting out audio recorders in the Hollyford to gather data on species present (birds, bats, etc). It would be great if there was a dedicated ‘Audio Recorder’ monitoring category to show installation sites and save all species detected. Ideally this would have all the bird species from the ‘Bird Count’ tool as well as the option to add notes or other species (eg bats) within this. The ability to retire recorders that are no longer in use (but retain the data) would also be helpful. The only workaround I can see for this at the moment is to add a monitoring type ‘audio recorder’ for keeping track of the recorders, and then also creating ‘bird count’ points next to them to save the relevant data.
Many thanks,
Natasha
@njyamamoto We were just talking about this in our morning meeting so hopefully this will be available soon

Hi, our project is also deploying a large number of audio recorders as part of our outcome monitoring alongside a trail camera network for predator monitoring.
It would be great to have an audio recorder monitoring option to allow ARD stations to be managed in a similar way to cameras. At the moment we are using the bird count type but this doesn’t seem to allow the same functionality in the field to edit and service locations.
Is an audio recorder option still in the pipeline?
Cheers
