Abstract
The paper describes a complex design of monitoring system handling created by the use of microcomputer Raspberry PI and LF RFID technology for the needs of monitoring and exploring the behavior of small terrestrial mammals and of selected species of birds. Similar systems already exist, but they are demanding and financially not affordable. To create such a system, low-cost products have been used which are easily modifiable, modular and expandable by measuring other activities. The paper concentrates on RFID/PIT technology. PIT tags are a useful tool to identify and follow individuals within a large population to monitor movement and behavior. Tags transmit a unique identifying number that can be read at a short distance that depends on the tag size and antenna design. Passive RFID tags are inductively charged by the reader and do not have a battery. Tags can remain operational for decades.
