Do you need internet connection for the ‘Chorus’ device to work?

Yes. However, you can choose to use either Wi-Fi or Cellular Data to facilitate your internet connection.

  • Wi-Fi

    Cost: Free

    Key considerations:

    Your device’s placement will be limited by the location of your Wi-Fi router. e.g. An optimal placement may be the outdoor face of a garden facing window.

    Best suited for:

    Those who have access to a home Wi-Fi router and wish to use ‘Chorus’ to identify birds within their garden.

  • Cellular Data

    Cost: Available through a subscription. Our team will manage the costs of using cellular data on your behalf.

    Key considerations:

    To minimise the subscription price, Chorus does not currently support sending live sound recordings over cellular data. Instead, you will receive notifications with predicted birds and percentage confidences.Using cellular data expands the options for where you can place your device. Anywhere with a connection to cellular data is now a possibility. This means you are not limited to using ‘Chorus’ within your garden…parks, forests, and mountains await.

    Best suited for:

    Those without existing access to Wi-Fi.Those who want to discover birds beyond their garden.
