- The page labels results lab and simulated field tests; distances use a physics-based range simulator.
Field notes
The proposed unit pairs with an existing cellular trail camera and routes sound detections into that camera’s app beside photos. The page lists eight sound classes as live and 46 in training, and says its 7,900 training recordings are commercially licensed with their sources logged. Performance is presented as lab and simulated field testing; the site says distances come from a physics-based simulator and that wind or dense timber shortens range.
