As seen on Springwatch!
The Standard Echo Meter Touch 2 (USB-C) is a compact bat detector that connects directly to your smartphone or tablet, allowing you to listen to, visualise, and record ultrasonic bat calls in real time.
Turn your smartphone or tablet into an interactive bat detector. Simply plug the device into a compatible USB-C port and use the free Echo Meter Touch app to begin detecting bats. No data connection is required. The device converts ultrasonic bat calls into audible sound using Real-Time Expansion (RTE) technology, while also displaying echolocations as colour spectrograms on your screen.
Designed for ease of use, the Standard Echo Meter Touch 2 provides live feedback in the field, including suggested species identification through Bat Auto-ID, based on the recorded calls.
