Are you optimizing your environmental monitoring system?

Here on the Ravica Blog, we talk a lot about temperature and humidity monitoring in data centers, but did you know Warning signthat you can use the same Sensor Probes to create a centralized monitoring system that can provide information on almost any environmental condition?  The following is a run-down of some of the other Ravica intelligent sensors that are available.  All the sensors are plug & play, SNMP-enabled and easily integrated into the environmental monitoring system of your dreams.

  • Motion Detectors:  Increase the security of your valuable equipment and information.  The Ravica motion detectors are designed to be linked together so that you can link up to ten sensors on a single port.  This means that you can get excellent security coverage, even using the inexpensive BitSight2.  For some great information on setting up the motion detectors, check out Jon’s blogs here and here.
  • AC Voltage Detectors:  Valuable for detecting brownouts or complete power outages.  Ravica can send email or text messages to immediately alert you to problems and allow for the quick recovery of power and the protection of data.
  • Airflow Sensors:  Make sure that the ventilation equipment that is keeping your equipment cool doesn’t fail without your knowledge.  The SensorProbe provides airflow patterns in a graphical form that allows the user to detect changes that indicate fan failure or maintenance issues.
  • Smoke Detectors:  All the Ravica SensorProbes and SecurityProbes can be integrated with SNMP-enabled smoke detectors.  Protect your property from smoke and fire even after business hours.
  • Siren and Strobe Light:  Sometimes a stealth text message alert is just not enough.  Alert other employees of safety hazards with a siren and strobe light that can be triggered by the Alarm status on any of the sensors.

Ravica has SensorProbes that can support up to eight different sensors.  Whether you need to monitor a single room or a multi-story office building, we can help you set up an integrated environmental monitoring system that is scaled to your needs and can be configured and controlled from one easy to use web-interface.
