The Anabat Scout is an affordable, full spectrum bat detector designed specifically for active bat monitoring.
At last, a bat detector tailored to your active survey needs. The Anabat Scout is an easy-to-use unit. And it can play heterodyne, auto-heterodyne and frequency division audio through earphones or the built-in speaker. But it is not limited to live listening. You can record full spectrum and zero crossing files to an SD card. Every file is geo-tagged and you can even record voice notes to the SD Card.
The Scout features an in/out bat counter which time stamps and geotags every count. It’s robust and ergonomically designed. In the box is the Scout bat detector, a protective carry pouch with belt loop and lanyard. For those on the go, transect mode with built-in GPS will save your track. Analyse and view your files on a map, which includes your track, using Insight software. Keep in mind Insight is free to use with all Titley Scientific bat detectors.
We know you often work in the dark, so, the small black OLED display is designed to be less distracting. And conveniently showing you only crucial information. Plus, you have the choice of bright or dim screen modes. The glow-in-the-dark buttons means that you can find and operate your detector even on the darkest night without your headtorch!
Includes:
Carry Pouch and lanyard. Please note SD Card and batteries are sold separately.

Feels very intuitive
It is lightweight and comfortable to hold and the menu is easy to navigate and feels very intuitive, further aided by brief explanatory text to explain the options.
A feature I found particularly satisfying is the auto tune heterodyne mode which means that the detector automatically tunes in to the peak frequency of any bat calls picked up by the detector. Whichever mode you are in the peak frequency is automatically displayed on the screen, enabling you to instantly identify species such as pipistrelles that can be readily identified by the sound and the peak frequency of their calls.
Another nice feature is the two “Bat Counter” buttons (IN and OUT), enabling you to keep a tally of bats entering and exiting a roost during roost counts. Every in and out button press is written to a .csv spreadsheet, along with the date, time and location of each button press.
An unexpected additional feature (tucked away in the “Other” menu) is the classic and very retro computer game “Snake”, no doubt provided to keep you entertained during downtime such as waiting for rain to clear. Just try not to get too addicted and use up valuable battery life!
Lightweight and handy, the Anabat Scout is an integrated detector which is both configurable for “active” use to monitor roosts using the count buttons (out & in); or more autonomous for “passive” use over several hours or an entire night. For the active, the heterodyne sound is clear and the peak frequency display is useful. SD card recordings can be listened to later on x10 time expansion using the computer. The GPS coordinates associated with each recording and the possibility of recording a voice note are a real bonus.
Great machine, easy to use, recommend Titley Scientific staff for their professional advice and asssistance.
The Anabat Scout Active Bat Detector was easy to set up and use. It was really interesting to get immediate feedback from the instrument as you walked about. Great way to demonstrate to a group. Titley Scientific were fantastic to deal with, answered questions about the product and were able to accommodate our request, even through the COVID 19 pandemic!
