or select configuration to see details:
Detection of bats up to 50m and big birds up to 100m from the wind turbine.
Detection of bats and small birds up to 50m and big birds up to 100m.
The basic principle of B-finder is the sequence of recordings of animal falling across the sensor zones. The fall of dead or injured animals has different parameters than the flight of those alive. B-finder system differentiates between them and reports only the fatalities. The monitoring results are available online for the user including information about the time of collision and the location of the carcass.
