Since 2021, our local automated Motus array is sitting both in the Hunter estuary and Port Stephens estuary, with respectively eight and three stations.
This page displays a dynamic map where you can explore for each station its history.
You can also openly explore location and a few other aspects on Motus server.
A Motus station is made of multiple components:
Antenna (either directional or omni-directionnal), to detect any VHF signal
SensorGnome Receiver, to identify and store VHF signal from a known or unknown tag
Solar panel + battery (low cycle 12V), to provide electrical power
Mast & shelf, to provide a supporting structure
Note that you can build any station yourself by simply following the installation guide freely delivered by Motus.
