BAT DETECTOR REVIEWS

Welcome! I've tested and reviewed over 40 different bat detectors here...More
than anyone else in the world. I've also started to officially review books
about bats & bat acoustics.





SUNDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2023


THE NEXT ITEM TO BE REVIEWED...



The next device to be reviewed, on The BatAbility Club (via live webinar), will
be The Brand-New USB Mic - designed by Open Acoustic Devices in England.

I've actually already written a detailed review of it Here.


A look at the documentation from Open Acoustic Devices.



The Product Review Webinar will be presented live, for members of The BatAbility
Club on November 13th, 5pm London time.

I'm really looking forward to sharing my experiences, tests, and results using
this unique USB Microphone.

I've become accustomed to recording bats (as well as singing insects) with the
USB Mic attached to my laptop, via a 10' (3 meter) USB cable. It's actually very
convenient; and the recordings end up exactly where you want them!






A sincere thank you, to my readers; for sharing this blog amongst your
colleagues and peers! It reached over 16,000 visitors this month!

Also, a special thank you, to Singapore! Thank you for all the visits.












I will also be reviewing a brand-new book, which is soon-to-be-released, from
Pelagic Publishing - Titled 'Thermal Imaging For Wildlife Applications' By
Kayleigh Fawcett Williams.







Currently available for Pre-Order from NHBS:









Until next time, 

Thanks again, and

Happy bat detecting!

THE AUDIOMOTH ONLINE CONFERENCE 2023


For the second year in a row, Nils Bouillard has arranged, curated, and
orchestrated The AudioMoth Online Conference!

And it was even better than the first one! I'll share the description seen on
the welcome screen of the course:


"Welcome to this second edition of the Audiomoth Online Conference. Over the
course of four sessions, we will be hearing from 12 researchers using Audiomoth
in the field! The topics we will be covering will include coral reefs,
soundscapes, birds, bats, rodents as well as perspectives and a bit of an
overview of the state of affordable bioacoustic tools. Needless to say, the
breadth of knowledge that will be shared during this conference, once more, will
be substantial and may give you some ideas for projects of your own!"






If you look closely, you can see what the prices were (€57, and €30 for
Students).

This 2023 Conference featured 12 speakers!


A LOT of material was covered! Let's get a couple of things out of the way:
 * I learned a lot!
 * Each of these talks were simply fascinating!

The kind of stuff that would inspire one to start thinking about collecting
wildlife sound recordings! As well as underwater recordings...And hydrophones!
Yes, I still have the cutest little (purple) circuit boards for building
pre-amps for (DIY) hydrophones...
No, I haven't built any yet, because I'm a bit of a scatterbrain who gets
distracted by shiny, new things! lol
Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating, but - Back to The AudioMoth Conference!


12 speakers - I'll break it down further (a generalization):


Session 1
 * AudioMoth + Light Pollution + Effects on the timing of bird songs (Hong
   Kong). By Ann To.
 * AudioMoth + Bat Activity + Street lights (Hong Kong). By John Allcock. 💓
 * AudioMoth + Utility of Acoustic Indices to assess diversity of birds. By
   Gaurav Singh

Very engrossing! Light pollution and Swinhoe's White Eye (bird) - Wow! The
effects of light pollution, and street lighting on bats, Along with fascinating
findings while assessing the diversity of passerine/non-passerine birds. All
excellent and very informative!


Session 2
 * AudioMoth + Sampling High Frequency calls of Cave Bats + Southeastern Amazon.
   By Giulliana Appel.
 * AudioMoth + Impact of community-led Conservation Practices on Biodiversity in
   Floodplain Lakes + Jurua River / Amazon. By Carly Batist.
 * Taking The AudioMoth Underwater + Oceanic Soundscapes + HydroMoth. By Lucille
   Chapuis. 💓

The techniques used to record cave bats in the Amazon was illuminating and
enchanting, Learning about the floodplains, weather, and wildlife, as well as
cutting edge data manipulation was interesting, The oceanic
soundscapes/underwater recording, as well as equipment discussion was
captivating. 


Session 3
 * AudioMoth + Assessing Avian Diversity in Taita Hills, Kenya. By Vikram Malhi
 * AudioMoth + Estimating The Abundance of The Critically Endangered Great Green
   Macaw. By Tom Lewis. 💓
 * AudioMoth + Social Vocalization In Social Networks of Wild, Free-Living House
   Mice. By Nicholas Jourjine. 💓

Fascinating descriptions of methodologies in (avian) surveys, and data
collection, The critically endangered Green Macaw is simply captivating, I
thoroughly enjoyed the informative talk on the (wild) House Mice.


Session 4
 * HydroMoths + Hurricanes + How Does A Low-Cost Recording Device Perform in
   Extreme Weather. By Nathan Wolek. 💓
 * AudioMoth + Creating Tools To Conserve Our Wildlife. By Andrew Schulz.
 * AudioMoth + Open Acoustic Devices. By Andy Hill. 💓

The Hurricanes and Hydromoths presentation was just chock-full of getting kids
involved in real science; educative! Creating Tools to conserve our wildlife was
incredibly informative, and also demonstrated kids involved in real science, the
talk from Andy Hill was extremely instructive and explanatory. He shared several
valuable/useful guidelines for getting the most from AudioMoths.


Now: Please keep in mind, that all of these presentations were fascinating and
informative! I found all of them captivating, and deeply appreciated each of
them. I simply placed a "💓" after the ones which I found to be
particularly absorbing to me.


Each of these talks offered those in attendance, a unique glimpse into the
current state of bioacoustic study. Each consisted of instructional breakdowns,
and informative explanations of the projects discussed. As well as very well
explained details of the processes, and a glimpse into the extensive amounts of
work involved. 


These educational AudioMoth Online Conferences are a treasure trove of learning;
and not to be missed! They are an outstanding way to learn which current, and
future methods are being employed in the field of bioacoustics. 
In many cases, a look into what it's like, to utilize state-of-the-art
manipulation of collected acoustic data. As well as methods and techniques,
employed in challenging environments, to collect important and viable
bioacoustic data.


So these online conferences would be ideal for anyone who works with, or plans
to work with or deploy, virtually any device created by Open Acoustic Devices.
Attendees who have watched all the courses, whether live or recorded playback,
get a certificate of completion emailed to them.

By the way, you can subscribe to the free email updates right from the
Barbastella Ecology page. Just scroll down to the bottom of this page. So you
won't miss out on future events. 


Until next time,


Happy bat detecting!

UNWAVERING DEDICATION TO "MY" BAT DETECTORS



"Find what you love and let it kill you"     

 -Bukowski




Sure, I can talk about it now; I'll try to keep it short. Unnecessary details
have been omitted.

Lest anyone doubt my dedication to bat detectors... lol ...read on:

It was August 23rd (2021) I had some superfluous concern for the wee kit; I knew
it would be fine, but still...

It had been exposed to non-stop rain (from hurricane Henry) for 12+ hours; and I
knew the batteries were halfway to flat.

Everything was very muddy...some torn clothes and a few hours later: 

A Doctor was confirming that my shoulder wasn't dislocated. He recommended an
MRI and orthopedic specialist (concerned about torn/damaged rotator cuff,
cartilage/nerves, etc.).


I got a nifty navy blue sling for my right arm, and lots of pain.

Needless to say, I was determined early on, not to allow this little mishap
delay my current testing, and upcoming reviews - and it didn't.






 
Bruise from torn bicep





So, an Orthopedic Dr. had X-Rays performed; and scheduled an MRI. 

Turns-out, I fractured my shoulder. Luckily, surgery wasn't required.

Things in progress (back in 2021):

Currently in the early stages of testing/data collection, using USB microphones
from Pettersson Electronic. Utilizing the Bat Recorder Android app by Bill
Krause, which I found to work very well! 

Also working on a video presentation review, for The M500 and U384 USB Mics from
Pettersson. This will be featured exclusively on The BatAbility Club Web Site.

With more amazing equipment on the horizon...

Happy bat detecting!

REVIEW: THE UMOTH (AUDIOMOTH) FROM OPEN ACOUSTIC DEVICES



Review: The uMoth (AudioMoth) From Open Acoustic Devices

FYI: A full, webinar (review) of The uMoth was presented on The BatAbility Club
(on 9/11/2023). This detailed discussion (1+ hour) is available for viewing
anytime, to members of the Club (individual memberships are only £30 per month).


The uMoth is the worlds smallest passive bat recorder. It is a miniaturized
version of the well-known AudioMoth, passive/static wildlife sound recorder.
Just like the larger (original) AudioMoth unit - The uMoth is not only able to
record ultrasound, but sounds in the audible range as well.




Stock Photo - Back/Microchip view of The uMoth.



This brings to mind The AudioMoth Live desktop App, and the fact that the
heterodyne detector simulator, tunes down to 12kHz. 



Let me point out straight away, that Open Acoustic Devices is a non-profit
organization. There are two firms who manufacture these devices designed by The
Open Acoustic Devices Team. They are: GroupGets and LabMaker.





Front of The uMoth - Where the microphone hole, MicroSD card slot, Battery
connector, Main switch, and MicroUSB connector reside.


The current price(s) from the manufacturers (at the time of this writing) are:
GroupGets - $99.99 + Shipping
LabMaker - Currently not available (sold out)


Packaging - The uMoth arrived (rather quickly) to me, here on the East coast of
The US, from England. It arrived well-packaged & protected. See below - Inner
box, after removing from external, brown padded envelope: 





The uMoth PCB, packed with Silica gel
(cute business card is visible through static-proof bag).




The uMoth measures 32 x 24mm and the PCB itself weighs just 5 grams (without
battery).


It's intended to be used on certain animals as well. The fact that it's so small
and light, makes it an excellent candidate for attaching to animals (especially
large mammals); providing Ecologists/Biologists with dynamic sound recordings.
Adding a very interesting facet to their collection of sound files.





Photo above shows: The uMoth, USB based battery charger, and an enclosed
battery. Photo provided by Open Acoustic Devices.



Features - As per Open Acoustic Devices' site: 
 * Silicon Labs Wonder Gecko microcontroller:

– 48MHz 32-bit processor 
– DSP instruction support and floating-point unit 
– 256kB Flash 
– 32kB RAM plus an extra 256kB of external SRAM 
– For full details of the Wonder Gecko microcontroller please see the Wonder
Gecko reference manual. 


• On-board analog MEMS microphone, Sensitivity -18 dBV/Pa, 63 dBA SNR, 10Hz to
192kHz 
• Sample rates up to 384kHz 
• Micro-USB B port for power, configuration and for reprogramming the Flash 
• 2-pin JST-PH header for connecting external power supplies (3.6V to 6V) 
• 6-pin 2.54mm pitch header for multi-function 3V General Purpose I/O (GPIO) 
• 6-pin 2.54mm pitch serial wire debug port 
• MicroSD card connector compatible with up to 1TB capacity






One of the reasons why I became fascinated with The uMoth: It's ability to
comfortably fit into an empty film pot! With battery! Photo provided by Open
Acoustic Devices.



Yes - It's in there, with MicroSD card inserted, and battery (it's sitting atop
Page 2, of the 7-page datasheet). 


The uMoth has been designed to not only be incredibly small, but also versatile.
Those who know their way around single board computing devices (like the
Raspberry Pi or Arduino) will be happy to see the flexibility offered by The
uMoth. Several available contact pads, offering: GIPO/logic states, a 3v power
output, and other geeky goodness, provides plenty to keep an evil genius
satisfied.
If at this point you're wondering "what is he going on about?"
Have you ever wished that your coffee maker could turn on at the first fly by of
a bat? Well, it wouldn't be out of the question using this circuit board as your
starting point...
                        

                                                            
GIPO pads are clearly visible on the circuit board.
I found several tiny screwdrivers ideally sized for the turning the rotary
switch.



                                                         
Here is a link directly to the Datasheet for The uMoth. When you do order a
battery (or two) for it, make sure that it comes equipped with the correct size
JST-PH connector.
It just so happened, that one of the batteries I ordered (from Amazon) came with
everything needed to get the battery attached to The uMoth. As well as an
excellent printed page, describing all you need to know about JST connectors:


                                                     

This one included a small length of heat shrink tubing, 2 connectors (w/red &
black leads), and a convenient fold-out providing you with all you need to know
about JST connectors.





An assortment of JST connectors.
       
You may learn more about JST connectors here.


To give you an idea of what your typical batteries will look like:



The first two are ideal sizes, for a good balance between small size and
performance. The extra small (100maH) one was used for experimental enclosures
(paper clip for scale).




I cut and soldered the red & black wires (into their correct places) and used my
own heat shrink tubing. However, you do not need to go that route. For someone
not keen on splicing wires and soldering: The included instructions and
something like a ball point pen (or similar) are all that is required to achieve
what is needed. 


The uMoth is a bat detector/wildlife sound recorder which may be used in a
simple manner (with minimal configuration) - Or, fully customised by specifying
times to turn on/record, shut-off/stand-by, trigger by amplitude, trigger by
filter setting, and other options.



The AudioMoth Configuration App
Default screen/when first launched - 1970 appears, to help remind you to set the
clock.





The next tab is for scheduling.





The next tab, allows you to narrow down which sounds get recorded, by the set-up
of filter settings.



The next setting, allows you to set which sounds get recorded, by the set-up of
sound duration.



A look at the 'Advanced' tab and it's available settings.



The uMoth would be ideally suited for those wanting the features and performance
of the full-sized AudioMoth, in a much smaller package.



Ballpoint pen for scale.



This tiny unit would also be good for those needing to deploy several recorders,
quickly, and easily - across a medium-sized area. The uMoth is excellent for
attaching to trees. And again, may be attached directly onto medium to large
sized animals - providing unique recording opportunities.
Especially, for example if a certain species shares it's habitat closely with
the target species.




An example of an quick/simple approach to set-up might entail something like:
 * Inserting an appropriate MicroSD card & attaching a recommended battery.
 * Configuring the unit via the AudioMoth Configuration software.
 * Making sure your time is set - Via Configuration /or Chime App.
 * Deploy in desired location.



An example of a more thorough approach to set-up, might include additional
steps, things like:
 * Configuring the unit to turn on/off at desired times. Up to 4 times in a 24
   hour period.
 * Setting-up the filter settings.
 * Setting-up time duration settings (Minimum trigger duration).


During my extensive testing, I found The uMoth to reproduce sounds very
accurately. I found it to offer plenty of sensitivity, with very little self
noise. 


Just to outline what each of the three switch settings provide:


 * USB/OFF

Consider this a starting point: With a USB cable connected, it allows you to:
Set the on-board clock, configure scheduled recording(s), and apply new
firmware.
When not connected to a computer, it serves as an Off switch.


 * Custom

If configured (recording schedule has been set): The uMoth will start running
it's configuration. In order for this to happen, the clock must be set - Either
during configuration, or with a chime from your smartphone.


 * Default

This will cause The uMoth to start recording continuously. It will use whichever
sample rate, and gain level is configured. The clock doesn't need to be set.




Below, are just a few short spectrograms, made using The uMoth, and using
Kaleidoscope Pro software, from Wildlife Acoustics:





Eptesicus Fuscus - Big Brown Bat





Eptesicus Fuscus - Big Brown Bat





Lasionycteris Noctivagans - Silver-Haired Bat




Some additional features:



 * EFM32 Gecko processor

 * Capable of recording at sample rates up to 384kHz

 * Records uncompressed WAV files to microSD card

 * Powered by a two pin JST-PH connector 

 * Can be used with 3.7 V - 6 V batteries

 * Analog MEMS microphone

 * Analog pre-amplifier with adjustable gain

 * Measures just 26 x 36 mm

 * Configurable USB interface

 * Onboard real-time clock keeps track of time in UTC

 * Exposed header for GPIO expansion 



Pros:



 * Excellent, sensitive, low-noise microphone.

 * High-quality, detailed recordings.

 * Very small size.

 * Long battery life versus size of batteries (LiPo).





Cons:
 * Configuration isn't as easy as other (more expensive) static recorders.
 * Cannot always be ordered immediately (may need to join a campaign).
 * The clock must always be set: Either via a few clicks, while connected to PC,
   or via the smartphone chime app.



Again, the only way to order this device, is through either of the
manufacturer's respective web sites:


GroupGets - $99.99 + Shipping
LabMaker -  Not available (currently sold out)


I've also been (slowly) working on creating videos, and posting them on my
YouTube channel. I would greatly appreciate it, if you would visit, and please
consider subscribing. Not for the reason why most YouTubers ask for you to
"please subscribe, and hit that button...and bell" and whatever else - No, I'm
only asking, for the sheer desire to share information.
As it has always been one of my main goals, from the very beginning with this
blog - For it to be a free, non-profit, ad-free place - where I help get the
word out about the latest and greatest bat detectors. It's basically the only
place on the Web, where you can get completely honest, unbiased, reviews of bat
detectors (and associated equipment).


So, again, as for my YouTube channel - I have no expectation of ever achieving
1,000 Subscribers. And that's totally fine.
However, if you know of anyone who might find my (short) videos of interest,
please share! It would be nice to have around 100 subscribers one day...
Thanks! 
I've also just started to create simple videos, which allow me to share the
actual sound recordings produced by the different bat recorders. There are a few
there (so far...) of recordings from this uMoth. 


I may as well mention...My Twitter: @batdetectors
And my Instagram: batdetectors


I'll also take this opportunity to mention, that we've talked about doing a live
webinar/presentation review of The AudioMoth USB Mic. It is tentatively planned
for The BatAbility Club, in November. As always, it will be a live, detailed,
presentation - with opportunities for Club members to ask questions, etc.


This brand-new USB Mic, is the very latest device just developed, by the Team at
Open Acoustic Devices in the UK. As far as I know, I'm the only one outside of
The Open Acoustic Devices Team, to actually get my hands on one! They aren't
available for sale yet. I'm happy to state that I've had plenty of time to test
this new USB Mic:
Firstly, I really like it!
And, secondly, I did post a written review of it here on the blog.
 
It is a versatile USB Microphone because it can be attached to either a laptop
or smartphone. 
When it does become available for purchase, it will be affordable, at or below
the $100 mark...




Until next time,
Happy bat detecting!
