The remote location is hooked to the grid.

I give a list of species to the program that the matrix will be
matched to. As long as the sounds meet the amplitude and frequency
criteria they are recorded. Since my program is only %80 reliable in
its ID, I must go over each one to double check. That is when I come
up with the "unknowns".

As for commercial development, the program is not reliable enough,
especially in a target rich environment, for prime time, and I only
think of it as a research tool.

I am only 1/3 through analyzing the approx. 41,000 recordings the
system has made. Its going to take a long time to complete the
correlation of species with the weather data.
