Monitor Bats Remotely, in Real-Time.
Look closely. Do you see the bat?
Each year, an untold number of bats and seabirds collide with turbines as they migrate through onshore and offshore wind farms.
Yet wind power is a renewable energy source critical to mitigating climate change. How do we balance clean energy production and wildlife protection?
The answer begins with remote access to real-time data. When we know better, we can work with the private sector and governments to do better.
Bats, turbines, and mines.
Wind farms are just one industrial setting in which we find bats. We know that mines—particularly old, abandoned mines—are another.
According to the nonprofit Bat Conservation International (BCI), old mining sites provide significant habitat for bats seeking refuge from encroachment by human development.
How do we protect vulnerable species with wind farm operations increasing and mines facing closure?
Remote Monitoring & Data Transfer
Enter Wildlife Acoustics' SMART (Song Meter with Analysis and Remote Transfer) System, a technology that allows users to detect and monitor bat activity in real-time at remote locations from anywhere in the world.

Detect bats of concern in real-time.
Add alarms that match your bat-call parameters and activity levels. When a species of concern is detected, you receive real-time notifications. (Wind farms can implement Acoustically Triggered Curtailment to pause turbine activity while bats are present.)
Access recordings & activity summaries
Download recordings and activity summaries and remotely manage the system via the system’s secure web browser interface from anywhere in the world.

Monitoring bats on wind farms and old mines can be challenging. The SMART System detects species of concern in real time and download activity summaries.
