The document describes a biodiversity monitoring system developed by Livares Technologies that uses acoustic sensors and machine learning to monitor animal populations. The system consists of a Raspberry Pi audio recording device, microcontroller, and 3G modem housed in a weatherproof box. It is designed to autonomously record sounds according to a customizable schedule and upload recordings to storage servers. The system provides a low-cost, portable way to passively monitor biodiversity without manual intervention.

11. What the System is ?
System that is capable to record human audible acoustic
signals generated by the animals
from any remote area at customizable timings and duration
without any manual intervention.
The Recordings are formatted and stored properly with their
timestamps and are uploaded to storage servers.

Biodiversity Monitoring Project
13. How it Works ?
24x7 Active microcontroller switching circuit powers the
recording system on customized time defined by user.
recording system on power up does the following
Tries to Connect internet via usb modem
Sync the real time from microcontroller / internet
starts recording and resumes the pending upload in
parallel with (if internet) for the user defined time
after recording completion format it , attempt to
upload it
Steps to Power off
Biodiversity Monitoring Project
Livares Technologies
14. Based on ATMega328.
Programmed to provide power for recording system only
at scheduled timings.
Uses DS1307 as an RTC as well as a storage for
scheduled power up timings.
Communicates with the recording system , updates real
time from internet , stores user timings to DS1307
Microcontroller switching circuit (MSC)
Livares Technologies
15. Based on Raspberry Pi with a java application
Records acoustic signals , connects to internet via usb
modem, updates real time of MSC ,updates the new
timing schedules from internet if available
Uploads the recorded sound with time stamp to the
storage servers as mp3 - via ftp/sftp
After Completion of recording request MSC to power off
the system then makes a safe turnoff of rasbian
Recording System

16. Java application establish serial
communication with the microcontroller
switching unit and Raspberry Pi.
Application logs all activities for future
investigation and maintenance.
Establishes SFTP with storage server and
updates user timing schedules from internet
servers.

20. Acoustic emissions of animals contains species-specific and
individual information exploitable to listeners, monitoring it
constantly and deeply will reveal visually inaccessible habitats
that may open the key to the secrets of Biodiversity.
