Long-term recording at any number of sites
Self-sufficient, continuous recording over weeks or months – even at hard-to-reach sites and across large study areas.
ecoPi.
The future of environmental monitoring
Intelligent collection and analysis of ecological data – autonomous in the field, AI-assisted, and available in near real time.
Automated monitoring
It's that simple!
- Configure Configure hardware for the project.
- Install Install and connect the ecoPi, battery & solar panel.
- Record Switches on automatically according to the chosen recording schedule.
- Analyse Direct on-site analysis on the ecoPi using AI models.
- Transmit Uploads the results once the recording is finished.
- Validate Data becomes available in the ecoPi dashboard.
Why ecoPi
What's possible with the ecoPi
-
-
Use results directly
AI analysis runs on the ecoPi, with results available in near real time – measures can be adjusted while the project is still running.
-
Get robust & reproducible data
Every detection is verifiable, the methodology standardised – raw data and analyses remain traceable in the long term.
-
Flexibly configurable for your research question
Sensors, recording times and AI models are matched to your project before or during deployment.
ecoPi in use
Applications
-
Biodiversity monitoring
Continuous acoustic recording at sites that are hard to reach or sensitive to disturbance, over weeks and months and largely without maintenance.
-
Wildlife management
Live access to your data – ideal for the timely monitoring of results or time-critical measures such as visitor management or meadow mowing.
-
Environmental education
Making monitoring results tangible for the public, through info panels, screens in visitor centres, or your own website.
