Temperature Sensor : iPhone Support
Brrr, the outside temperature sensor in my truck this morning told me it was -3 this morning. Unlike many Mainer’s I’m a huge cold weather fan.
Cold temperatures means freezing temperatures and with that usually comes snow which is needed for one of my favorite winter activities: snowmobiling!
Security Monitoring Solutions : Industrial Security
Filed under: Data Center, environmental monitoring, Intelligent Sensors, Security Monitoring, SecurityProbes
I’ve been having some fun with our industry security monitoring solution this week. What surprised me during the security camera setup process was that I realized that auto focus is a must. When security cameras are up on buildings, is really stinks to setup a ladder, climb up and manually play with the focus while my cell phone is on speaker to my coworker who is watching the security camera image.
I also learned that the LUX rating is extremely important when choosing a night vision camera. The lower to zero the better. In other words, .001 is extremely good night vision. Configuration of the security dashboard is also important. I was able to setup a security map which listed where I had placed our temperature monitors, humidity monitors, security cameras, water sensors, air flow sensors, smoke, dry contact and DC voltage sensors. I got it all setup before I finished my morning coffee.
Believe it or not, dry contact sensors are popular especially in data room temperature monitoring. The techs love the Security web interface.
If you want to learn more about the process I went through to set up our security monitoring system, give us a call.

Expand Your Monitoring Capabilities With SecurityProbe
Filed under: environmental monitoring, humidity monitoring, Security Monitoring
Security Monitoring and Environmental Monitoring all in one device. The securityProbe allows you to monitor temperature, monitor humidity, monitor airflow, monitor smoke, etc. It can also provide a security solution with dry contacts and motion detection with alarms.
Security Monitoring System
Our new security monitoring system is underway and I should have some pics and some specs on what we have installed. We have multiple security cameras attached to the security probe as well as some temperature sensors and humidity sensors.
How to Monitor Car Storage Environments
Filed under: environmental monitoring, humidity monitoring, Security Monitoring, temperature monitoring, water leak monitoring
As a car aficionado, I love the idea of storing precious vehicles in the harshest of winter months, especially in a state like Maine. If I had my dream car (ahem, BMW M5) I would certainly put it in a place I know would keep my car safe from any harm. The question is, “How does a storage facility keep my car safe?” What precautions would it take to make sure Annabelle is safe? (yes, I named my fictional car) Implementing environmental sensors will certainly make me feel safe. Read more

Summertime Data Room Monitoring: Part 3
Filed under: Data Center, environmental monitoring, Security Monitoring, SecurityProbes, SensorProbes
In part one & two I went over the environmental factors that could plague your data center during the critical summer months. In this next part I will discuss the security factors you need to know to keep your data room secure and safe. In this blog I will go over 4 solid choices for security solutions in your data center: Security Sensor, Motion Detector, and the Smoke Detector, and Siren and Strobe alarms.

Environmental Monitoring Improvements to the SecurityProbe 5E
Filed under: environmental monitoring, Notifications, Security Monitoring, SecurityProbes
Monitor your infrastructure with the versatile securityProbe 5E which works with every intelligent sensor in the Ravica family. Monitor temperature, humidity, water leakage, airflow, security, detection of AC power line voltage, measurement of Digital Voltmeter, control relays, and much more simply by connecting up to 8 of our autoSense sensors in any combination. The Ravica range of sensors also includes an integrated data collection and graphing package which is especially useful in trending and analysis.
And now it’s even easier to trap trigger a relay across the internet using the using the securityProbe 5E.
Temperature and Humidity Monitor Demo from Ravica

You’ve heard about temperature and environmental monitoring, and you understand its value. But have you seen one in action?
Check out our online demo to see some features of the BitSight2 environmental monitoring system. See the parameters we have selected for use in our own data room. These parameters are easily customizable to accommodate your specific environmental needs. Read more
Check Your Smoke Detectors during National Fire Prevention Month
Filed under: environmental monitoring, Security Monitoring, smoke detector
October is National Fire Prevention Month. This is a great opportunity to check all your current fire safety devices to keep your families, employees, and properties as safe as possible.
For traditional residential smoke detectors, the National Fire Protection Association recommends that you “change your battery when you change your clock” (twice yearly). They also recommend that you also test the smoke detectors monthly. Read more
Ravica Environmental Sensors Are Alternative To “Glass Pavilion”
I recently learned of the existence of a glass house in Montecito, California designed by Los Angeles- based architect Steve Hermann. Considering that this is a glass house in which someone standing outside can see into multiple rooms (including bedrooms and
bathrooms), I question the validity of Mr. Hermann’s statement, “Here I have complete privacy.”
Albeit gorgeous, the home features glass exterior walls, allowing the occupant to be “one with nature.” But it also seems to allow the occupant to be “one with everyone else who is standing outside the house.”
This takes the concept of “neighborhood watch” to a new level. Read more
