Hi, For short deployments (a couple of days) we normally use small plastic bags and these work fine. For longer deployments you'll find lots of discussion on the forum from people who have made small enclosures from off-the-shelf electronics housings. We're in the process of getting a proper housing designed, but this won't be available until the middle of the year probably. Alex
Hello Alex, I am about to test my AudioMoth device and I would like to ask you, when you mention the plastic bag, I wonder if you refer to normal transparent plastic bags (like those used for food conservation). Do you normally make a hole where the mic is or do you leave the bag as it is? Do you think we an also wrap the device in cling film?
@alessia portaccio Hi, We use small ziplock bags that electronic components and small parts come in. They generally have quite thin plastic walls so we don't make a hole, we just put the AudioMoth inside the sealed bag. These seem fine to lightly weatherproof the device but it won't stand up to strong rain or wind. We've seen a few people who put them in open boxes and then cover the top with cling-film. These seems to work fine as well. Alex
