How much does it cost?
Pricing is based on the number of sites, streams and which products you need. Single-site community stations start at a fraction of the cost of legacy hardware monitoring; multi-site commercial deployments are tailored to your estate.

Is there a free trial or demo?
Yes. We offer a guided demo over screenshare (typically 20 minutes) and, where appropriate, a time-limited trial licence so you can run SignalScope on your own hardware before committing. Request a demo here.
Self-hosted or cloud?
SignalScope is self-hosted. You install it on your own hardware — a Raspberry Pi, Linux server, Mac mini or Windows PC — and it runs on your network. Your recordings, your audit trail and your data never leave your infrastructure. This is a deliberate choice for compliance and data-sovereignty reasons.
Does Logger meet OFCOM recording requirements?
Yes. Logger captures continuous, clock-aligned segments with SHA-256 integrity verification, a named legal-hold mechanism and a full audit trail of every play, export, hold and unhold action. The compliance dashboard shows full per-day coverage so you can demonstrate retention at any time. UK commercial radio is required to keep recordings for at least 42 days under OFCOM licence conditions; Logger's retention is fully configurable so you can extend that to whatever your licence requires.
What hardware do I need?
For HTTP, RTP or sound-card monitoring only: any Linux, macOS or Windows machine. A Raspberry Pi 3B+ is more than enough for most small installations. For FM and DAB off-air monitoring: add an RTL-SDR USB dongle (Realtek RTL2832U based). We can advise on the right specification for your site.
Can I monitor multiple sites from one dashboard?
Yes — that's what the hub does. One hub node aggregates data from unlimited remote client nodes. Each remote client pushes live data at 5 Hz, so signal levels across your entire estate update on a single screen in real time. Broadcast chain modelling means a single fault at any node is immediately attributed to the right location in the path.
What integrations does it support?
Native integrations for Zetta playout, vMix, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Pushover, email (SMTP), generic webhooks, AES67 / Livewire RTP, generic now-playing JSON APIs, ALSA / PulseAudio / DirectSound / WASAPI sound cards, and a mobile API for iOS and Android. Anything with an HTTP API can be wired in.
What support is included?
Email support during UK business hours is included with every licence. Onboarding (installation, initial configuration and first-hub setup) is included with every new install. Higher tiers add priority response, scheduled phone/video calls and out-of-hours coverage. We are a small UK-based team, not an outsourced helpdesk — when you email, you reach the people who built the product.
Can multiple people use it at the same time?
Yes. Three built-in roles give the right level of access to engineers, producers and compliance staff: Admin (full configuration), User (operate the Logger, view recordings and compliance) and Viewer (playback only). Per-user audit logging tracks every play, export and hold action with timestamp and IP address.
What happens to my recordings if I cancel?
They stay on your hardware. Because SignalScope is self-hosted, recordings live on your disks under your control — we never have a copy. Cancellation simply means no future software updates; existing recordings, the audit trail and the compliance dashboard remain fully accessible.
Can I migrate from an existing logger / monitoring system?
Usually yes. If your existing system can export recordings, Logger's segment format is plain MP3 / WAV / AAC / Opus — easy to drop into the file tree. For metadata import (track logs, fault history) we can usually script a one-time migration. Tell us what you're moving from.
Is it GDPR compliant?
Yes. SignalScope is self-hosted on your infrastructure — we never process broadcast audio or station metadata on your behalf, so there is no data-processing relationship to disclose. For lead and contact data submitted via this website, see our Privacy Policy.
Director — does my version of vMix work?
Director supports vMix Basic, HD, 4K, Pro and Max. Voice-activated switching, transitions, recording and streaming control work with all editions. ISO recording mode requires vMix 4K, Pro or Max (the editions that support ISO Recording natively).
