Meteors are indicated with circles and a bell sound plays at the same time. The sound is panned to left or right to match the meteor's X coordinate on the screen. The pitch of the note played corresponds to the Y coordinate. The camera lens seems to be coated in a layer of dust, but that's really noise in the camera sensor. This video simulates a long-exposure so any imperfections in the lens or sensor get emphasised. Comparing the different types of meteors seen in the evening and later the next the morning.

why iss there both the ones that got recognized with red circles and ones that are not? and if in other places, can there be any possibility that meet higher rates of shooting stars?
The meteor detector we use is unable to see some very faint signals, but we do manage to detect about 95% of the meteors that are visible. So most of the meteors in the timelapse do have a circle drawn around them. Meteors appear as lines which suddenly appear, and then disappear without moving in-between time. The other bright lines in the timelapse are satellite trails. Satellite trails move slowly across the screen and appear in the sky where they catch the light of the sun as they orbit the earth. This camera is in Maine, in the US. The nights are dark here but there is also a lot of haze in the atmosphere. If you visit a place like the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii then you're on top of a volcano and above any low clouds. You can see a lot more of the night sky at such high altitudes, and you definitely see more shooting stars there.
