Strong Motion Seismograph
Incorporating both velocity and acceleration sensors, the fully assembled RS4D is an incredibly flexible seismograph. The multiple sensor technologies not only extends its usage applications, but also widens the range of motion it can detect.
The difference between the RS1D and the RS4D is that the RS4D has three orthogonally positioned microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers built into the board. This is interesting for people who live in active earthquake zones where the strong motion might be enough to “saturate” the geophone velocity sensor, or in other words exceed the instrument’s measurement limit. With the incorporated accelerometer, seismic activity should remain on scale with the added benefit of being able to detect lateral motion as well.
The RS4D is a well-rounded, strong motion seismograph. With multiple sensors, more data options, and a wider range it has a multitude of applications, including those that require an accelerometer. If quakes are common where you live, keep an eye on the activity from the comfort of your own home, with your own personal RS4D earthquake monitor.

Really enjoy the RS4D and tracking all the earthquakes here in Tokyo and Japan. The device is really easy to set up, only took about 10 minutes and does an amazing job at tracking everything from the diggers at a nearby construction site to the big earthquakes we get offshore in the Pacific. My station ID – AM.REC8D

I have been using the RS4D since October 2017. I absolutely love it. The setup is easy and support is always available from the group at RasbperryShake and the community of shakers. Living in Southern California, I knew there would be quakes to view. However, I never realized I could pick up large quakes from around the world. The RS4D’s sensitivity is amazing.
If you are interested in seeing what quakes recorded on my RS4D look like, here are some samples: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAhqlmltCW94ipicG8X-oLw
