Describes a passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) device — such as an AudioMoth, Song Meter, or Swift — placed at a fixed location for a period of time. One deployment produces many audio recordings; each ac.audio record references its deployment via deploymentRef. Captures the device configuration, placement details, and duty cycle that are constant across all recordings from that deployment."
