Sound Camera

We are happy to announce we have developed an App to run inside AXIS CCTV cameras to display noise levels in real-time. Initial deployment of this system is at a motor racing track to identify noisy vehicles and to address Council regulatory requirements. The camera can be configured to send videos, photos and audio following an exceedance of noise limits, (including the period before and after the exceedance event.)

All Joey units have the latest software release and are able to power the Sound Camera.

Optionally, the Joey Sound Camera App can be combined with the AXIS number plate recognition or the AXIS directional microphones to enable noise source tracking and identification

Mangrove logger

This noise logger is situated in a coastal area within mangroves and only just above high-tide. Deployed January 2023 and having 100% uptime to the cloud. Special feature of this build is that all cables are retained within the steel tubes and the microphone is located on top of the supporting post. This ensures no solar deterioration of all important cables. The post is in two parts. The upper part (comprising all the electronics, case etc) is dropped into the lower part rammed deep into the marine sediments. Thus this ‘permanent’ solution is able to be relocated relatively easily.

Customer Case

Final testing on a sunny spring morning of two customer portable cases. In this instance the customer supplied their preferred cases and we installed our fitout. This works really well and does not affect the functionality .

Quick Deploy

We are please to announce the quick deploy feature for all Joey systems. A QR code is generated on the web site and assigned to each Joey. Quick deploy will greatly simplify deployment of loggers and eliminate the requirements for only those registered on WoopWoop to deploy/assign the equipment.

The steps to use comprise:

  1. On the WoopWoop website there will be a link to a unique QR code image and assigned to each Joey. The unique QRCode can be regenerated/replaced at any time for security purposes.
  2. The QR code image may be downloaded, printed and laminated and retained in the environmental case.
  3. When deploying a logger the person in the field will scan the QR code using their mobile phone and this will automatically create a site and assign the logger to the site.  The mobile phone’s GPS sets deployment location.
  4. The person deploying does not need to be registered nor logged into WoopWoop to undertake these tasks.
  5. The person deploying the logger then turns the unit on, waits for confirmation on the phone.
