The Bat Pack (GB Add-On)

NZ$5.65

Purchase price is per 1GB of data. Simply enter the number of GBs you require in the quantity field, and add to cart. This product is digital and will not be shipped.

Our digital Bat Pack and detectors are designed to empower New Zealanders to protect our native wildlife, especially our often-overlooked bat species and the habitats they rely on.

Record nighttime sounds with your detector, then upload the data through the BTO Desktop App, using our Bat Pack access. Your findings are analysed and transformed into a personalised report within 48 hours. The technology automatically identifies and separates bat calls from other noises, allowing you to discover which bat species were nearby. It also separates the types of calls, feeding buzzes and more. The experience is accessible to anyone, regardless of expertise. Your recordings help build the National Bat Survey Maps, showcasing the power of citizen science in conservation. Purchase with a detector or on its own if you have your own detector.

Once Bat Pack data has been obtained your access is automatically updated, no action needed! For further assistance, please contact us at hello@thebatcolab.co.nz.

    Key benefits and features:

    • Powerful data processing allows for multiple bat species that present to be identified in each recording, not just the bats with the strongest signals. This means that quieter bat species have the opportunity to be identified.

    • There is separate identification for bat echolocation calls, social calls and feeding buzzes, not only helping to identify species but feeding patterns, proximity to roosts and mating behaviours.

    • Project specific visualisations allow you to see summaries of species at various recording sites, activity timing and activity mapping.

    • The special reporting algorithm was developed in the UK by Dr Stuart Newsom and Dr Simon Gillings in collaboration with experts throughout Europe. We are now bringing this exciting world of bat surveying to New Zealand.
