Veldshop.nl proudly presents the BirdWeather PUC, an AI powered bioacoustics platform that simultaneously listens for birds, uploads detections in real-time and stores your data on the built-in microSD card.
The PUC (Portable Universe Codec) is packed with dual microphones, WiFi/BLE, GPS, environmental sensors, and a built-in neural engine, all in a weatherproof enclosure, it's ready to capture all that nature can throw at it.
The BirdWeather PUC is a simple, easy-to-use (one-button) portable device that is equally at home in your backyard, out in the field, or tagging along on a hike, continuously listening and identifying over 6.000 global bird species.
There are multiple ways to enjoy yoour BirdWeather PUC:
The cloud server uses the BirdNET neural network (a joint project between the K. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the Chemnitz University of Technology) to process all audio soundscapes from the PUC, featuring:
In addition to its stereo microphones, the PUC is also packed with environmental sensors, including Temp, Humidity, Pressure, Air Quality, tVOC, CO2, and a Spectral Light Sensor, so you're able to track local weather conditions as well!

About battteries
You're welcome to use any type of AA battery in your PUC (Lithium and Lithium-Ion). It reports the (3x AA) voltage in the BirdWeather App, so you can keep tabs on battery life. You can also use any standard USB-C 5V power supply to keep your PUC continuously powered like a powerbank. It is possible to use your own solar panel for sustained energy.
Please note: PUC is not able to charge batteries via the USB-C port - if you're using rechargeable batteries, you'll need to charge them externally. You can, however, power the PUC from USB-C with batteries installed, that is completely safe.
Looking to hang your PUC outside in the garden?
For safely using your PUC outdoors, we recommend choosing an adapter with an appropriate waterproof rating. The cables listed below are designed to allow you to securely hang your PUC outside. Be sure to use the included O-rings to enhance the waterproofing of the USB-C plug when setting up your PUC outdoors.
Recommended adapters/plugs:
- Ring plug for indoors and outdoors
2 - At any point in time, you can use the BirdWeather Mobile App to temporarily (or permanently) disable the PUC uploading soundscapes to the BirdWeather Server. It's a simple setting in the app, and takes effect immediately.
