This is a real unit deployed at the Wet Meadows Boardwalk · Alice Ferguson Foundation, within Piscataway Park in Maryland: solar-powered, fully off-grid, and logging high-confidence BirdNET bird candidates around the clock. The National Park Foundation's inaugural Innovation Grants, announced July 22, will expand this deployment across the park with the Alice Ferguson Foundation.
A production Sentinel that has been in the field for months, the same system you would deploy.
Every bird, frog, and insect is identified by its call on the device. Nothing leaves the unit but the result.
Solar + 200Ah battery, satellite uplink. No grid, no cell service, no permits.
