Hello,
I used to record birds (video+sound) as a hobby in my garden using a raspberry pi computer (+ a camera and a microphone attached to the Pi) and a motion detection software. I stumbled upon the audiomoth, ordered one and I wish to record birds for now.
What set up should I use? Any advises welcome...
Thank you.
Gain 2 and sample rate 48kHz generally work well. Opening and closing files takes a couple of seconds so we normally use the sleep / recording duration to give us recordings of useful length that always starts at a regular time. If you add one recording period from 00:00 to 24:00 with recording duration 3595 seconds and sleep duration 5 seconds. You'll get a recording that starts on the hour when you switch to CUSTOM (it will wait to start the first recording).
When you say 'Gain 2' do you mean the second setting as shown in this screenshot?
Sorry, they are number internally as 0 to 4. I meant the middle, default, setting.
Could you also tell me what is the default Gain when in Default mode?
