...Song Meter recorders via satellite or cellular networks. "Song Stream is an end-to-end solution for remote access to our SM2+ and SM2BAT+ acoustic and ultrasonic recorders," said Ian Agranat, President and CEO of Wildlife Acoustics. "Now our customers can access status information over satellite networks or download recordings remotely via cellular networks. We listened to customers and designed Song Stream to be extremely user friendly so they will enjoy its plug and play installation procedure while reducing the total cost of ownership for mission critical projects." Song Stream has been in beta with several trial customers with very successful results.

Song Stream consists of communication hardware that connects an SM2+ or SM2BAT+ unit to a web portal allowing convenient access to status information such as card consumption, battery supply voltage and a log of recent recording activity. Email alerts may be configured to immediately notify the user of a status update of the Song Meter deployment. For cellular deployments, the geographically redundant portal allows direct upload of selected recordings remotely from the Song Meter to the web portal and direct download from the web portal to the desktop PC. Depending on the sample rate, recording mode and chosen transmission network, it is possible to download a portion or all of the recorded data remotely.
