Anabat Walkabout Full Spectrum and Zero Crossing Active Bat Detector with Touch Screen

Walkabout: The Portable Bat Detector for Unprecedented Active Research

A handheld detector designed for active research and field bat monitoring, with instant setup and real-time analysis.

The Walkabout portable bat detector uses a profile system that gives you quick access to customizable settings for different applications. You can lock your settings and export your profiles to other Walkabout detectors. With the touch of a button, you can switch the Walkabout from a "listening" heterodyne detector to a detector optimized for collecting annotated full-spectrum reference calls.

A 5″ color touchscreen displays full-spectrum and zero-crossing calls in real time, allowing you to monitor and tag your files in the field.

In addition to real-time sonogram visualization, you can switch to basic mode, which displays minimal information for users who find a live screen distracting.

Managing your recordings is simple, as everything is saved to a memory card, with an integrated file system for viewing, playback, and species tagging.

The portable Walkabout includes an omnidirectional microphone with a directional cone accessory to reduce ambient noise. It records high-quality files (500 ksps) above 200 kHz. Save written notes or voice memos, along with temperature, humidity, and ambient light measurements.

The hand strap, lanyard, and ergonomic design make active detection comfortable for extended periods. An integrated GPS and mapping system allows you to tag your calls and record your route as you move.

We also offer a directional microphone with an adapter that can be purchased separately; to find out whether a directional microphone is suitable for your study.

This custom-designed detector goes beyond basic competitor microphones and delivers unmatched active performance.
