Data gaps shape permit conditions and mitigation obligations
When data is limited to short surveys or conservative assumptions, developers face delays, over-mitigation, and long-term operational constraints.
Spoor Turns Monitoring into Decisions
Spoor's continuous camera-based monitoring fills the gaps traditional surveys leave — helping developers minimise curtailment and maximise energy yield.
Monitor
Continuous detection and tracking of bird and bat activity across the selected area — day and night, in all weather conditions.
Validate
AI-assisted and expert-validated species identification for species-specific collision risk modeling, and permit compliance.
Put bird activity in context
Link flight patterns, height and frequency to wind speed, turbine speed, weather, seasons, and time of day for smarter decision-making.
Deliver outputs and data reports
Export structured datasets via the Sky Intelligence Platform — ready for use by environmental consultancies and regulators.
Improve over time
Use longitudinal data to minimise curtailment, reduce buffer zones, and confidently maximise energy yield.
Aerial Activity Monitoring
Continuous, automated detection and classification of bird and bat activity across a site — day, night, and all weather conditions.
- 8K camera resolution — continuously observing a fixed volume of airspace at a site
- 24/7 data collection — suitable for monitoring both bird and bat activity across all hours
- No data gaps — continuous operation eliminates the temporal gaps common in vantage point surveys and aerial surveys
- Flexible deployment — mounted on met masts onshore, or integrated onto metocean buoys offshore as an add-on to existing campaigns
Reduce Biodiversity Risks for Future Wind Farms
Challenge
Traditional surveys deliver fragmented, weather- and daylight-dependent data that leads to additional studies, permitting delays, and regulatory risks.
Solution
A buoy-mounted camera system integrated with a metocean/LiDAR campaign: 4,500+ hours of annual daytime monitoring in all weather conditions, with species-level and flight height data.
Outcomes
- Species-level insights that strengthen EIAs and de-risk approval
- Clear visibility into migration peaks and seasonal dynamics
- Flight-height distributions for robust risk modelling
- Stronger auction bids with credible, high-resolution video evidence and data reports
- Greater certainty for developers, regulators, and stakeholders
Spoor Sky Intelligence Platform
Monitoring, AI detection, human validation, and contextual modelling are unified in a single platform — supporting decisions across the full wind farm lifecycle.
- Continuous monitoring and species detection with human validation
- Analytical support via correlation with weather, radar and historical bird activity data
- Report-ready tables and figures for EIA submissions
- Easy data exports for consultants and regulators
Embedded in the Wind Energy Ecosystem
Spoor is building a global ecosystem of trusted partners to enable wind farm developers to maximise their potential
Spoor works alongside environmental consultancies to strengthen EIA services with richer, more defensible bird data — helping you deliver faster, more accurate reporting for your clients.
- Continuous, validated data ready to analyse — species ID, flight heights, flux rates, flight tracks, and more
- Reduce conservatism in collision risk models — use Spoor data to challenge overly cautious assumptions and refine CRM inputs
- Regulator-ready outputs — 96% precision, 100% recall, and full-resolution timestamped video for every detection event via Sky Intelligence Platform
- A clear division of responsibilities — Spoor processes and delivers the data; you analyse, interpret, and report
