Have you used this product? Click to leave your reviewThe Terra Station is a dedicated bird and wildlife sound monitoring device that uses on-device AI to detect and identify bird species by their vocalizations in real time, as well as detect radio tags on the Motus network (434mHz and 2.4GHz). Designed for outdoor deployment, it operates 24/7 and lets users listen live and see real-time species IDs. It has autonomous recording and solar power capabilities, as well as external Motus antennas. It can be used by researchers and consumers alike, leveraging community science to create a massive database of sound clips/IDs and radio-tag detections, open to researchers and conservationists.
