Features
At e-obs, we want to provide you a tag or collar that lets you take a closer look – a much closer look.This allows you to see small-scale movements up close and conduct detailed behavioral studies.
Our multi-sensor data acquisition (MSDA) technology provides you with more – and higher quality – data sets, so your information is far more detailed and comprehensive. By intelligently combining all these sensors, you get a much more complete picture of the animal’s life and can address much more complex study questions.
All e-obs features
Dive deep into your data
Our goal is to provide you with a tag that not only allows you to monitor your animal, but also to see every little movement and perform detailed behavioral studies. The data collected by e-obs tags provides in-depth information about the animal’s activity - every second, every hour, every day, every month, every year, or even
over the animal’s entire lifetime.
Multi-sensor data acquisition
As wildlife research has grown and diversifi ed, the research questions have become much more complex – far too complex for terrestrial tracking and even GPS alone. Therefore information – data – from more than one sensor in a high frequency will be the key.
e-obs tag offers GPS, ACC and IMU in one tag. By intelligently combining all these sensors, you get a much more complete picture of the animal’s life and can address much more complex study questions.
Smart sampling
Researchers often need to compromise on the study design as animal size and behaviour limit the technical possibilities. Therefore e-obs always works on ways to push the limits of what is possible. Smart sampling by e-obs applies user-definable recording algorithms based on activity, location or energy level or a combination there of to maximise scientific output and optimise energy management.
Multi-path data download
The tag records and stores data on a non-volatile memory chip. e-obs offers a variety of options for retrieving data from the tag. Standard terrestrial tracking (pinger), local download using UHF radio communications with minimal power requirements and high data rates, to a global system using cellular commuication.
We have the right tool for every situation.
Better by design
Reliability without compromise. It simply must work – always. And to make sure it does, we make no compromises, thinking through the design down to the last detail and using only the very best components to ensure that e-obs tags will last and perform, no matter what.
Analysis software
We offer many data output formats suitable for established third-party software solutions. Cellular tags automatically upload data to Movebank. Data which has been locally downloaded with the e-obs base station, can be manually uploaded to Movebank.
