Abstract
This invention provides remote audio surveillance by recording audio data via three microphones and storage on a removable digital mass storage device, operating on battery power. The housing is of a weather resistant design to withstand outdoor conditions. Recording can be done in person or recording times can be defined so that the unit will only 'listen' during the desired times of the day, on a day to day basis. The user does not have to be in the vicinity but simply programs the record time(s) and leaves the device in the woods. The device also has play back capabilities for any recorded audio data and can interface with personal computers via the removable digital mass storage device. In addition to the audio collection and playback capabilities, PC software will be provided with the device which will analyze the data and provide direction of sound (based upon relative amplitude of the 3 microphones) and distance of sound (based on absolute and relative recorded amplitudes).
