24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring
That is what I did. At first I was taken by the novelty of having my real-time results on a map, but then I asked, why? There are plenty of false positives and it seems odd to advertise them. The point of this unit for me is that I have ears 24/7 out in my yard, and if something novel is...- Lerxst

24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring
The Birdnet Pi community seems very supportive and interested in the question of field use. See for example, this thread: How to handle wifi-access (and more) "in the field"? · mcguirepr89/BirdNET-Pi · Discussion #119 As far as having something in the field, I'm happy with Merlin in the US (and...- Lerxst

The Raspberry Pi system I use only makes use of my wifi so that I can see it locally. It isn't connected to the internet.- Lerxst

Just learned about a similar device: HAIKUBOX Looks similar in spirit to the PUC device offered by Birdweather, but more expensive and requires some kind of subscription.- Lerxst

Does anyone have the Birdweather PUC device? Website currently says it is out of stock.- Lerxst

24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring
I've been running for over a month now and I cannot imagine not having this system. It has picked up a number of vocalizations that I would otehrwise have been totally oblivious to. Often these come at night. Last night I recorded a Northern Saw-whet Owl, the first I've ever had in my home...- Lerxst

24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring
Yeah it has taken a bit of tinkering but that is the fun part. If I had a good place to run it that my current device isn't already covering, I'd be interested in trying the PUC.- Lerxst

I estimate my Pi project cost $256. So it seems like a fair price.- Lerxst

24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring
Update: now using a better microphone: Raspberry Pi Automated Bird Recording System: Rev 2 The unit did conk out on me one night. Not sure why, but the normal URL to access the results page returned nothing, even though I could still use VNC to remote in to the Pi's desktop. Attempts to...- Lerxst

24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring
The box appears like it will hold up pretty well around here. It is specifially made for electrical components and connections out of doors. I'd like to add another small box just for the power adapter/extension cord, too. It is the microphone that has me concerned. I want to put a good one on...- Lerxst

24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring
So I had a Pi sitting around and having come across this thread last week, I decided to give it a go. Just to get up and running I used the only USB mic in the house -- a cheap desktop unit -- and the system still seems to function okay despite it being the weak link. I did a short write-up...- Lerxst
