Marina
Intended for permanent installation at sites with a major bird problem

Scarecrow Marina

The main processor is rack-mountable. This can ensure the controls of the system remain in an accessible place. In hazardous installations the unit can be sited in a 'safe zone' connected to EX speakers.

Simple test procedure

The system is supplied with headphones which can be connected to check the playback sequence. Upon connecting headphones, the system automatically isolates the playback from the speakers.

'Fire and Forget' operation

Once the correct settings have been found, Scarecrow Marina features a lockable switch which leaves the setup unalterable.

Limitless area coverage

Coupling the Scarecrow Marina to an array of amplifiers allows for an unlimited number of speakers to be connected, covering an unlimited area.

Simplistic connections

As with all Scarecrow products, the focus on simplicity and ease of installation is paramount. No prior bird control training is required to setup the product.

Scarecrow Marina is intended for permanent installation at sites with a major bird problem - marinas, ships, docks, harbours, beaches, offshore helidecs, oil and gas platforms, public buildings and places, historic buildings - anywhere that birds present a nuisance, safety or health hazard.

As with all products of Scarecrow Bio-Acoustic Systems Ltd, Scarecrow Marina represents a method of dispersal, humane and hygienic, for permanent installation. Following controlled site trials in 1996/97, SCARECROW developed the Marina system to be a relatively simple, but unique, process to which birds, by experience, do not easily habituate.

Systems can be operated either from 235v AC 50/60Hz or 24V dc; often this d.c. supply is solar panel, or wind generator, derived.Using fully automatic and 'random' electronic processors, dispersal can take place without human intervention 24 hours a day, or from dawn to dusk as the location demands.

Marina's automatic , random playback programme is the result of extensive research, trials and site performance feedback; it has been shown over many years to provide optimum dispersal effect, always depending on environmental factors and good hygiene practice.Most recent research has also provided further evidence of seasonal and migrational effects on efficient dispersal.

For this reason Marina now includes 3 automatic random playback sequences: NORMAL, RE-INFORCE and SEVERE. Importantly, natural bird calls played at natural levels are not intrusive and sometimes not even noticed in places where the public may be present; not so with any other, unnatural, sounds to which birds may eventually become habituated.

The Scarecrow Marina bird control system includes a paging microphone input which, when activated, will automatically interrupt any bird call in progress for routine or emergency announcements. A siren is also included, making the whole installation multi-use.
