What is Free Remote Monitoring Software?
There are many monitoring systems available to monitor atmospheric conditions in particular space; monitoring systems such as freezer monitoring, NHS and drug monitoring, to server room monitoring and live stock transportation monitoring systems. However, the sensors and monitors that gather the data are only half the story. To access the data collected by the sensor system, you need specialised software. This software is installed to a computer and gives the computer user complete visibility of the information collected by the monitoring system; this is what is referred to as remote monitoring. The computer user doesn’t have to be in the same room as the sensor system but they can still access the data. This is very convenient if you have multiple monitoring systems that you need to keep track of, or if for example your monitors are in a transit, transporting live stock or food stuff around the country.
Some monitoring systems come complete with free remote monitoring software as part of the package and some don’t. So it’s a good idea to read what actually comes with your remote monitoring system. If you are buying individual parts and are buying a high volume of sensors and monitoring equipment, you can very often get the remote monitoring software thrown in for free. Free remote monitoring software is just as good as paid for software. This is because the software itself is relatively simple. It simply communicates with the monitoring system and collaborates the data, to give the user easy to understand information about the conditions that the monitoring system is currently experiencing. All data should be available in real time; that is up to the present moment. The data is usually displayed in a graph or table like style, and can be saved or printed to be kept as a record. It’s a good idea to see examples of software screen shots or a working example where at all possible, because some user interfaces may be easier to use than others. In addition to collaborating the data and making it easier to digest, free remote monitoring software may also offer additional features such as early warning alerts. When there is a dramatic change in the environmental conditions of the monitored area, the remote monitoring software can send out emails or SMS text messages to alert the appropriate people that their may be an issue. These alerts can save a fortune in damage to stock. So in a nut shell, if you are looking to install a new monitoring system to protect your goods or to provide evidence of how food has been stored, it’s worth looking into the software that comes with the system, because free remote monitoring software could be available, and save you a few pounds without compromising the remote monitoring system.
What Are 3G-SDI Extenders and What Do 3G-SDI Extenders Do?
As the name suggests, 3G-SDI extenders are extended cables. 3G-SDI extenders allow 3G-SDI signals over coaxial or fiber optic cable. Not only this but 3G-SDI extenders equalize multi-rate SDI signals sent over long lengths of RG6 coaxial cable, or transmit them over fiber optic cable for long haul transmission applications.
Of course, 3G-SDI extenders aren’t just extra long fibre optic cables, there is a small electronic unit on the wire that performs the magic. The Sender unit receives the SDI input signal from a compatible SD/HD/3G SDI source and converts the signals to optical data. The Receiver unit converts the data to a 3G SDI signal, which in turn connects to BNC connection point, or a display. However, that is a very basic description of how 3G-SDI extenders work. 3G -SDI extenders can function as a transmitter and a receiver in various user-configurable modes; and are ideally suited for use in digital signage, broadcast and production, rental and staging, and medical applications. And 3G-SDI extenders comply with SMPTE and ITU standards for standard definition and high definition video. Due to the use of advanced digital fiber optic transmission technology, no user adjustments are usually required with 3G-SDI extenders, enabling quick setup and trouble-free operation.
Low Profile Antennas Featuring The Tango Range of Low Profile Antennas
The recent rapid advancement in wireless communication has created a tremendous need for miniature, high performance, low profile antennas. It is well known that miniaturization and high performance does not go hand in hand. But you might have the wrong impression about the performance of low profile antennas.
Low profile antennas describes a antenna that is small and flatish, so that they are almost flush to the electronic device that they are fitted to. A growing trend of low profile antennas are being introduced to the market. These are designed to be fitted low down on the casing and secured via a through hole bolt which passes through a hole on the enclosure. This ensures the antenna cannot be removed without access to the inside of the enclosure and no cabling is visible. offering excellent electrical performance in an antenna with minimal environmental impact. The Tango series of Low Profile Antennas is a family of wideband cellular and GPS antennas which operate on quad band GSM/GPRS/3G and 4G frequencies. The Tango series are fully waterproof and have a though-hole mounting. The great thing about low profile antennas is that they offer an element of vandal resistance when situated outside. Because the antenna has a low profile, it makes it difficult to grab or to pull off, compared to say a whip antenna. Additional the chunky form of a low profile antenna means that it can't easily be damaged with bare hands, again a whip antenna is quite easily bent.
Wi-Fi Modules
The Wi-Fi Alliance defines Wi-Fi as any "wireless local area network (WLAN) products that are based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' (IEEE) 802.11 standards". However, since most modern WLANs are based on these standards, the term "Wi-Fi" is used in general English as a synonym for "WLAN".
Wireless Networks Wi-Fi in a short period of time gained a huge popularity. Certainly, this sudden success is obliged to the widespread of laptops with built-in Wi-Fi modules, which rapidly displace conventional desktops from our apartments. Wi-Fi also allows communications directly from one computer to another without an access point intermediary. The Wi-Fi modules have the advantage of working via a standard Wi-Fi network. This can include wired Ethernet. You could have two xBee Wi-Fi modules anywhere in the world and connect them as long as you have their 32-bit addresses. Most Wi-Fi modules provide a serial interface if you just want to dive in head first. I would recommend one of them Wi-Fi breakout modules. Wi-Fi Direct is primarily aimed at normal users, but given the fact that the devices that can take advantage of new technology, widely used in offices, over time, this standard will become popular and at work. For example, to transmit video, images, and presentations from the phone to a projector or print files to the printer.
What Are Food Monitoring Sensors and Why Might I Need Them?
Anyone who stores food or serves food has to keep the food correctly, this means keeping it at the correct temperature to ensure that it stays fresh. Food monitoring sensors are essentially small sensors that monitor the temperature conditions that food is stored. These sensors might be used for freezer monitoring or fridge freezer monitoring, or monitoring food whilst it’s in transit. Of course the sensors alone don’t make up the whole food monitoring system, they simply collect data. The data from the sensors is then sent to a central hub or computer for analysis. This is known as remote monitoring where the data can be accessed remotely and you don’t have to physically have to visit the sensor to access the data. This is helpful for establishments where food is served throughout a number of locations, or for food deliveries in vans.
The food monitoring system once set up and the parameters set to the required temperature ranges can help you to maintain food storage. If the freezer monitoring sensor, for example, has a dramatic change; either hotter or cooler than the set parameters, the system can alert you to this change. This alert could come in the form of an onsite alert light, an email or a text message, or a combination of alerts. Having an early warning system of when something is a miss with the temperature of the freezer, means that the food can quickly be saved and so saving money. Not only does food monitoring provide warnings when the temperature of stored food changes, it also provide data and evidence of how food has been stored and the conditions food have been kept in whilst transported. Setting up a food monitoring system for refrigerated or frozen food doesn’t have to be expensive and there are lots of products on the market that will provide an excellent system. However, if you are looking for something less permanent and remote monitoring and alerts aren’t important to your needs, there are data loggers available which can withstand temperatures as low as -80 degrees, ideal for freezer monitoring. Data loggers are small devices that you simply put into the freezer or other storage to be monitored, and leave to do its thing. There is usually a digital display on the data logger to let you know the current temperature. Data loggers also have a USB connector to enable the download of data that the data logger has collected. This data can again be used for food storage evidence. Whilst data loggers won’t alert you to any issues and won’t prevent your stock for spoiling should the fridge or freezer malfunction, it does provide you with data stating how the food has been stored.
Leak Detection Systems, Flood Warning Systems and Flood Monitoring for Businesses Featuring the LD-12 Flood Detector
When you think of leak detection systems, flood warning systems and flood monitoring you probably think of third word countries and or places where rivers are prone to flooding and flooding disasters in the news. However, flooding closer to home can cause allsorts of problem. Flooding in industrial workplaces and business premises can cause electrical fires and water damage to good and vital equipment. And your business premises don’t have to be next to a river to be at risk, a leaking roof or a burst water pipe is all that is needed to cause considerable damage costing hundreds of pounds, not to mention the increase costs of your insurance. Although we all like to think that it wouldn’t happen to us, it does and can happen and simple flood monitoring systems can be used to prevent it. In the past, flood monitoring depended on someone observing water levels and reporting findings by radio. But nowadays flood monitoring is done by sensors. Small sensors can be set up to monitor moisture levels. Parameters can be set as to how sensitive the flood sensors are, and they can be left running 24 hours a day, to detect and potential leaks in the property.
Leak detection systems can be either active or passive. Passive leak detection systems are intended to alert you of a leak. It is possible to implement flood warning systems together with other adaptation measures, as part of an integrated flood risk management plan. When the sensor of the flood warning system reaches its alert parameter, the system send out text messages or emails to a pre determined list of people who can then act upon this information. In many cases flood warning systems with flood monitoring sensors prevent hundreds of pounds of damage but are relatively cheap to install. The LD-12 flood detector is a cost effective and reliable flood sensor. The LD-12 flood detector works as an indicator or a flood warning detector. When water is detected by the sensor, the information is sent to an alarm system to send out an alert message. The LD-12 works in conjunction with products with dry contact inputs. This flood detector is designed for indoor use and can withstand temperatures from -10 to 40 degrees Celsius making it a versatile solution in places of varied temperatures.
What Are HDMI Extenders and Do Longer HDMI Extender Cables Really Offer Better Quality?
HDMI extenders are generally thought to be long length cables that carry HDMI data to visual display units, but in actual fact, there is more to HDMI extenders. It’s a common assumption that the further the distance, the poorer quality at the end, a bit like a leaky pipe. We expect cables to loose amounts of signal along the way, and this is the case for antenna cables and can also be said of HDMI cables, however; HDMI Extenders have the opposite effect. The signal you're trying to send from your cable box, DVD player or other source to your HDTV breaks down on its journey. This can happen at different points along the way but most experts agree it will definitely happen after 25 feet for 1080p signals running along an HDMI cable. However, an HDMI extender or booster can act as an oasis in the journey, regenerating the HDMI signal before sending it to its final destination. HDMI extenders are available in a wide array of lengths and the most common being 2 meters. However, the length of cable and its strength is very important; the longer the better because the greater the length, the better is the quality.
HDMI extenders are powered boxes that will increase the signal strength and range of your HDMI cables. HDMI extenders typically include equalizers and amplifiers. HDMI Extenders are very compact in size and require no special settings. These units also support simple plug and play functionality. The plug and play functionality makes these video extenders very simple to use and can be operated by people with very less or no technical knowledge as no software installations are required for its working. Some longer cables have extenders built in but you can also purchase an extender to make sure that by the time your signal reaches your television or other display equipment, it will be back to crystal clarity. HDMI Extenders making use of fiber optic cables for transmission purpose are known as HDMI fiber optic extenders. Fiber Optic Extenders support resolution up to 1920X1200. Signal transmitted over fiber optic cables are resistant to Electromagnetic Interface. Wireless HDMI extenders are still relatively new to the market. In fact, there are only about 5 different products that provide wireless HDMI signal extension. However, the general rule of thumb when it comes to buying HDMI extenders is to get good quality HDMI extender cables of a long length as this will improve the data transfer quality and improve the end results.
