The catalogue of meteor orbits from the NFC systems is created by using the software UFO Orbit v2.41. In the program UFO Orbit v2.41, all combinations of meteors in a time interval dt = 3 s are created. For these combinations, the level Q0 is set and some other additional conditions also have to be set:
• dur > 0.08 s (duration of the meteor)
• dt < 3 s (maximum time difference between 2 stations)
• GD < 10 km (minimum ground distance between 2 stations)
• Gm% > −100% (overlap of a meteor sighting from two stations)
• 15 km < H1 < 200 km (beginning height)
• H2 < 200 km (terminal height)
• dV < 4 km/s (the largest difference in velocity between stations considered to compute the orbit)

The single-station meteor statistics from the individual stations using the NFC system. The pairs are made up of stations as follows: Kroměříž (CZ) + Valašské Meziříčí (CZ), Zákopčie (SK) + Kysucké Nové Mesto (SK) and Senec (SK) + Blahová (SK).

The NFC orbit database (created according to Koukal et al. 2015) contains orbital elements and geophysical data of 1 234 meteors from 2014 to 2016 (latest update 30.1.2018). The database is saved in csv format and contains the data of all unified orbits within the given criteria.
