The catch in your digital log.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vampire Bite Alarm combines electronic bite alarms, a fishing app and the Magic Ball for analysing your catch photos. Your smartphone becomes the control centre: it reports bites, adjusts settings and records your catches. <strong>At Carp Austria, you can get to know Vampire<\/strong> \u2013 a great stop if you want to find out what digital technology can do on your swim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bite alarm with app:<\/strong> receive alerts on your smartphone and change settings from your phone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Solar support and USB-C:<\/strong> two ways to keep the battery charged.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Digital catch log:<\/strong> bring catch photos, weather data and personal statistics together.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Magic Ball:<\/strong> estimate fish length and weight from a photo \u2013 even without a Vampire bite alarm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A run is over in seconds.

The bite alarm delivers alerts and session data, the app handles control and recording, and the Magic Ball adds image analysis. You can start with the app and the Magic Ball and keep using your existing bite alarms. If you also use the Vampire bite alarm, what happens at the rod becomes part of the picture too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"ca-vampire-video\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:960px;margin:1.5em auto;\">\n<video controls playsinline preload=\"metadata\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" poster=\"https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-bissanzeiger-app-produktvorstellung-web-v02-poster.jpg\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;height:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-bissanzeiger-app-produktvorstellung-web-v02.mp4\"><\/video>\n<figcaption style=\"margin-top:0.5em;\">Vampire presents its bite alarm, app and Magic Ball. Product video in English.<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-vamptechnik gb-headline-text\">Vampire Bite Alarm: Solar, Rod Sensor and Light on the Rod Pod<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two solar panels support charging, and the bite alarm also has a USB-C port. According to the manufacturer, the 1000 mAh battery lasts around seven days without sunlight. The rod sensor starts a timer as soon as you place the rod. That way you can see how long your bait has been out. If the rod is lifted, your phone alerts you immediately \u2013 a handy theft protection. The angled light illuminates the area in front of the rod without dazzling you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also look back at the bite itself: line tracking shows how many centimetres the fish has taken, and bite replay plays the bite back. Short twitches and longer runs become visible again after the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Peace and quiet while setting up:<\/strong> at the press of a button, the system can be muted for 60 seconds. So it doesn\u2019t beep at every line movement while you\u2019re lining up the rod. According to the manufacturer, false bite filtering is designed to reduce false alerts caused by small line movements, for example in wind or current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Vampire bite alarm under a fishing rod in front of a lake at sunset\" class=\"wp-image-150681 lazyload\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-bissanzeiger-abendstimmung-v01.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-bissanzeiger-abendstimmung-v01.webp 1200w, https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-bissanzeiger-abendstimmung-v01-360x360.webp 360w, https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-bissanzeiger-abendstimmung-v01-1000x1000.webp 1000w, https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-bissanzeiger-abendstimmung-v01-155x155.webp 155w, https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-bissanzeiger-abendstimmung-v01-768x768.webp 768w\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Vampire bite alarm in use on the water.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"ca-vampire-video\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:420px;margin:1.5em auto;\">\n<video controls playsinline preload=\"metadata\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" poster=\"https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-bissanzeiger-bedienknopf-funktionen-v01-poster.jpg\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;height:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-bissanzeiger-bedienknopf-funktionen-v01.mp4\"><\/video>\n<figcaption style=\"margin-top:0.5em;\">Short video from Vampire International: 3+1 functions of the control button.<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-vampapp gb-headline-text\">Vampire App: Receive Bites, Record Catches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your smartphone becomes the receiver \u2013 you don\u2019t need a separate receiver unit. You set the LED colour, alarm tone and other settings via the Vampire app. Up to four phones can be connected at the same time \u2013 handy when you\u2019re fishing with friends. The app is available for iOS and Android.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your catch photos turn into a digital catch log with details such as time, weather, air pressure and location. Personal statistics help you compare your documented sessions later: at what times did the fish come, and in which conditions were you successful? That way, the circumstances of the catch are kept alongside the photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want your friends to follow your session? Fishing trips can be shared via a link. That way you can pass on your documented catches without sending every catch photo separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About range:<\/strong> the manufacturer quotes around 100 metres of Bluetooth connection with a clear line of sight. To forward alerts via the internet, a phone has to stay within range of the bite alarm. So the internet function doesn\u2019t extend the device\u2019s Bluetooth connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-vampmagic gb-headline-text\">Magic Ball: What Does Your Catch Photo Reveal About the Fish?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The small ball gives the app a known size in the photo. From this, the image analysis calculates estimates for the fish\u2019s length and weight. The manufacturer lists the product as <strong>Magic Ball Pro<\/strong>. It works with the Vampire app without you having to switch your bite alarm system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Turquoise Vampire Magic Ball with key ring next to a smartphone\" class=\"wp-image-150688 lazyload\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-magic-ball-smartphone-v01.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-magic-ball-smartphone-v01.webp 1200w, https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-magic-ball-smartphone-v01-360x270.webp 360w, https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-magic-ball-smartphone-v01-155x116.webp 155w, https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-magic-ball-smartphone-v01-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-magic-ball-smartphone-v01-800x600.webp 800w\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Magic Ball serves as a reference for the image-based analysis of catch photos.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a usable photo, the ball and the fish should be in the same plane as far as possible; the whole fish should be shown side-on. A ball close to the camera and a fish further back would distort the proportions. According to the manufacturer, accuracy is usually around 10% for length and 20% for weight. The results remain estimates and don\u2019t replace exact measuring or weighing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Angler holding a carp with measuring points overlaid along the fish\u2019s body\" class=\"wp-image-150695 lazyload\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-fangfoto-laengenschaetzung-v01.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-fangfoto-laengenschaetzung-v01.webp 1200w, https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-fangfoto-laengenschaetzung-v01-360x270.webp 360w, https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-fangfoto-laengenschaetzung-v01-155x116.webp 155w, https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-fangfoto-laengenschaetzung-v01-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-fangfoto-laengenschaetzung-v01-800x600.webp 800w\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Measuring points along the carp illustrate the digital length estimate from the catch photo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"ca-vampire-video\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:420px;margin:1.5em auto;\">\n<video controls playsinline preload=\"metadata\" width=\"540\" height=\"960\" poster=\"https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-magic-ball-vorstellung-the-haunzz-web-v02-poster.jpg\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;height:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/vampire-magic-ball-vorstellung-the-haunzz-web-v02.mp4\"><\/video>\n<figcaption style=\"margin-top:0.5em;\">The Haunzz Videoproduktion &amp; Fishing presents the Vampire Magic Ball for catch documentation.<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-vampmesse gb-headline-text\">Vampire at Carp Austria: From Product Photo to a Chat at the Stand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Linking bite alarm, phone and catch photo raises questions that go beyond a single product image. <strong>Bring your smartphone and an existing catch photo to Vampire.<\/strong> That gives you something concrete to talk about: which functions can you use with your current gear?
