Founding developers Alex Rogers, Andrew Hill, Peter Prince

The AudioMoth was created by two computer science PhD students at the University of Southampton, Andrew Hill and Peter Prince, together with Alex Rogers, a computer science professor at the University of Oxford. The AudioMoth is the first product of their OpenAcousticDevices initiative.

AudioMoth is a low-cost, open-source acoustic monitoring device used for monitoring wildlife. AudioMoth is not only sensitive to audible sounds but well into ultrasonic frequency range. It records uncompressed audio from 8000 up to 384,000 samples per second onto micro SD card
