APODEMUS - BatCounter Small :

The BatCounter is an electronic device designed for use in field research. The device counts the number of passages of bats, birds or other small animals through the rectangular or square aluminum frame.

The aluminum frame of the BatCounter is black anodized for good protection in all weather conditions and is therefore a robust and reliable partner.

If the BatCounter is used for two days or less, the 8 AA batteries included can be used. To use the BatCounter for a longer period of time, the BatCounter can be connected to a 12 V battery. The supplied power cable can be used for this purpose.

The BatCounter records the individual bat passages and collects all information on the SD card. The SD card contains the collected data, and can also share this data externally. The results and standard information can be sent at regular intervals by e-mail or SMS. Due to these additional functions, information is continuously provided and you do not need to be physically present at the BatCounter to get it, in addition, there is the certainty that the system is working properly.

The BatCounter can detect bats as they fly through and at the same time drive a DSLR camera (Nikon or Canon) with an infrared signal or a cable to take pictures of the fly. The camera cable is not included but can be ordered separately.
