Best-in-class recording technology. More than a decade of continuous improvement. Intelligent recording triggers and a noise file filter in the SM4BAT FS help maximize the number of recordings of echolocating bats while minimizing recordings that do not contain bat ultrasounds. The SMM-U2 microphone (sold separately), combined with the SM4BAT FS detector and its advanced triggering technology, produces the cleanest bat recordings currently available.
Easy programming. Quick setup and worry-free operation. For a fast start, the SM4BAT FS comes with simple schedules such as dusk-to-dawn. You can also customize recording schedules to suit your specific needs. The free SM4 Configurator software also includes a security lock to prevent accidental changes to recording settings.
