AB - 1. Automated monitoring approaches offer an avenue to unlocking largescale insight into how ecosystems respond to human pressures. However, since data collection and data analyses are often treated independently, there are currently no opensource examples of endtoend, realtime ecological monitoring networks. 2. Here, we present the complete implementation of an autonomous acoustic monitoring network deployed in the tropical rainforests of Borneo. Realtime audio is uploaded remotely from the field, indexed by a central database, and delivered via an API to a publicfacing website.3. We provide the opensource code and design of our monitoring devices, the central web2py database, and the ReactJS website. Furthermore, we demonstrate an extension of this infrastructure to deliver realtime analyses of the ecoacoustic data. 4. By detailing a fully functional, open source, and extensively tested design, our work will accelerate the rate at which fully autonomous monitoring networks mature from technological curiosities, and towards genuinely impactful tools in ecology.
