Inside POLARIS

What you'll find

Site status

Every site's health at a glance: when it last reported, input voltage, alarms and the reader's own settings.

Antenna health

Current, noise and tuning for each antenna, charted over 24 hours or 7 days, with gaps shown where a site went quiet.

Tag detections

Tags and unique tags for the last 24 hours and the season, plus daily detections compared across years.

Live data

Sites that report live show new records within seconds, with a last-heard clock on each site page.

Site notes

A maintenance log for each site: what was done, by whom and when. Download any date range as a file.

River conditions

Tide, flow and weather beside the tag data, so a change at a site can be read against the river.
