Units are built to order in small batches. Tell us where you are and what you are dealing with, and we will follow up within a few days with what a system for your area would look like.

What comes with a system
- The device, assembled and tested, with a weather shield for the microphone
- The iPhone app with live feed and push alerts
- History, map, and summary stats in the app, with export to spreadsheet or KML
- Spreadsheet export of every detection, ready for a meeting
- Setup help over a call, and remote monitoring so we notice if a unit goes quiet
How it is priced
A one-time price for the device, then a monthly subscription per device. The subscription covers the live flight-data lookups that name each aircraft, push alerts, the app, and cloud storage of the log. Cancel any time; the device keeps listening, it just stops matching flights.
Groups and towns
Several devices placed across a corridor show the route, the altitude trend, and which operators fly it most. We can help you pick host locations and produce a combined report. Choose "community group" or "municipality" in the form and we will follow up with a network plan.
Questions people ask
Does it record my conversations?
No. Audio is analyzed in memory for about a second and discarded. There is no recording feature and no stored sound. The only thing saved is a short event: the time a helicopter was heard, how long, how confident the model was, and which flight it matched.
Where does it need to go?
Anywhere with a clear line to the sky, power, and Wi-Fi. A balcony, a porch, a garden shed, or an open upstairs window all work. It should not sit next to an air conditioner or a busy road, since constant noise makes detections harder.
How accurate is it?
Each detection carries a confidence score, and most matched passes score above 0.9. A small share of events come back without a flight match, usually aircraft flying without a transponder or outside tracking coverage. Those are still logged, and flagged as unmatched.
What does it cost?
Two parts. A one-time price for the device itself, and a monthly subscription that covers what it costs to run: every detection triggers a live flight-data lookup to identify the aircraft, plus the alerts, the app, and cloud storage of the log. The device price depends on how many units you need; the subscription is per device. Send the form and we will reply with exact numbers for your situation.
Can I see the data from an existing device first?
Yes. Ask in the form and we will send a sample export and app screenshots so you can see exactly what the record looks like.
