Abstract
A device for acoustic monitoring of a monitoring area includes first and second sensor systems which have first and second acoustic sensors, processors, and transmitter, respectively, and which may be mounted at different locations of the monitoring area. The first and second processors may be configured to classify first and second audio signals detected by the first and second acoustic sensors so as to obtain first and second classification results, respectively. The first and second transmitter may be configured to transmit the first and second classification results to a central evaluator, respectively. In addition, the device may include the central evaluator, which may be configured to receive the first classification result and to receive the second classification result, and to generate a monitoring output for the monitoring area as a function of the first classification result and the second classification result.
