What is an acoustic monitor?

An acoustic monitor is a fixed device that uses many small microphones to analyse sound continuously. It works out where a sound comes from, what type of sound it is, and when it happens. It sends the relevant results to your systems as alerts, maps, and logs.

How does it work?

An acoustic monitor captures sound with a calibrated microphone array, all the time. When something changes, like a leak starts, a discharge occurs, or an unusual event appears, the system detects it immediately.

The device compares how sound reaches each microphone to determine direction and intensity. It then filters background noise, classifies the event, and can map it to a location. Processing happens on the device, so you do not stream raw audio all day. You receive structured outputs, like event logs, alerts, and sound maps, that you can plug into your workflows.

Why teams rely on acoustic monitors

  •  Real-time awareness 
  • Fewer manual inspections
  • Scalable coverage
  • Fits existing systems
The outcome is simple: you shorten the path from detection to decision.
Acoustic camera or acoustic monitor?

Both tools rely on the same acoustic principles, but they serve different purposes

  • Use an acoustic camera when you need targeted inspections and visual confirmation.
  • Use an acoustic monitor when you need continuous, automated detection and classification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are acoustic monitors installed?

Acoustic monitors can be installed on walls, poles, ceilings, industrial frames, or urban infrastructure, as well as mounted on robotic platforms.

Can they detect ultrasonic gas leaks?

Yes, depending on the model and frequency configuration. They can detect ultrasonic signals from pressurized gas leaks and similar high frequency events.

Do they integrate with existing systems?

Yes. They can send structured event data to IoT platforms, VMS systems, and maintenance software, so teams can act within existing workflows.

Do they require external servers?

No. Processing happens on the device. External systems receive results and alerts, rather than raw continuous audio.

How often is maintenance required?

Maintenance needs vary by environment. In clean indoor settings, service intervals can be longer, while dusty, wet, or harsh locations may need more frequent checks. In most cases, periodic inspection and calibration are recommended to keep performance stable and detection accurate.
