- Nature-reserve rangers and biodiversity researchers
- Worth noticing
- Stations are described as sending species, timestamp, and confidence over LoRa while raw audio stays on-device.
Field notes
The described field unit combines an ESP32-S3, I2S MEMS microphone, solar power, and LoRa; its stated data path sends events to a reserve-office gateway rather than transmitting recordings. The platform outline includes Telegram alerts and CSV, Darwin Core, and GBIF export, while the dashboard preview is labeled demo data and the phone-app description says species are named by a person for now.
