'Introduction'
The purpose and anticipated result of this project is to build a new data collection unit using a Raspberry Pi as the core device. The data that will be collected is in reference to bats found in the Indo-Australasia Region. This data collection unit will be capable of collecting different types of data relating to bats, such as the ultrasound produced by bat calls as well as thermal imaging of the bats in their native environment.

'Abstract/Project Objectives'
1) To create a unified electronic device that is capable of multiple different methods of data collection
2) Firstly, the device is required to detect and record the ultrasonic sounds made by bats in the Indo-Australasia region
3) Secondly, the device should be able to capture video data in infrared/thermal, so as to be able to relate the captured audio of the ultrasonic sensor to the visual aspect of the bats location, surroundings etc.
4) The device emits a bat social call from an acoustic lure in the form of a bat social call to entice bats to come within the the range of the device
5) Ensure that the system does not require a large power supply for continual use.
6) Ensure as many different applications can be added onto the device (temperature, humidity sensors, GPS) as possible without going over budget.
7) Ensure that the device is mobile enough to be transported within a generic Duratech type waterproof box
8) The device will have to include all applications specified above on a strict budget (500 AUD)
