4 Component Seismograph
Stay on scale during the strongest seismic events with the RS4D, using both accelerometers and geophone technology.
Overview:
The RS4D combines a geophone velocity sensor together with three accelerometers, offering an expanded range of seismic detection from micro-tremors to large-magnitude earthquakes. The RS4D captures both ground velocity and acceleration, making it ideal for environments where seismic intensity can saturate traditional seismographs. With its three accelerometers detecting motion on all axes, the RS4D is perfect for monitoring strong ground motion in earthquake-prone areas, as well as for applications like structural health monitoring.
Key Features:
Why Choose the RS4D?
The RS4D is designed for environments with strong seismic activity, ensuring the device remains accurate and on-scale even during intense ground motion. Its dual-sensor system—geophone and accelerometers—enables high-fidelity readings of seismic events, both near and far, while also capturing local acceleration motion across all axes, making the RS4D a top choice for earthquake-prone regions and applications requiring broad sensitivity.
The accelerometer sensors extend the RS4D’s usability to structural health monitoring, particularly where velocity sensors alone may fall short. Whether for local seismic monitoring or applications requiring advanced sensitivity, the RS4D delivers reliable data in a portable, easy-to-use package.

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

So i have been using this device RS4D for some years. My home in the Caribbean on one of the smaller islands. My home in Canada 🇨🇦.
The device is an outstanding value for money. At $1000 usd. It offers the security for your family. This company service and support is fantastic and one of the best.
I highly recommend this purchase.
