Home / UBY Environment / Sound recognition sensor

AI-powered sound recognition sensor

This omnidirectional sensor lets you detect the origin and location of noise in real time, within a radius of 50m to 100m, thanks to its patented recognition algorithm.

Its dual microphones, adapted to the sonic and ultrasonic ranges, continuously analyse these two types of data separately, with an accuracy capable of distinguishing ambient sound from a sudden event.

The UBY software then alerts designated staff by email and/or SMS and they can listen to the sound recording and take action if required. 

On-board algorithms identify noise sources and categorise them (alarms and sirens, impact noise, rotating equipment, engines and voices).

FAQ

flèche light blue
How far must the sensor be placed from an obstacle?

The sensor must be positioned at least one metre away from any surface or obstacle to avoid any echo-effect or reverberation

The sensor, its software and algorithms are GDPR compliant

Installation permits must be obtained for public structures and are the responsibility of the customer. They are not essential for private structures.
