Camera’s lend environmental reassurance

When it comes to monitoring the data center environmental conditions, we receive questions which pretty much cover the gamut. From staples, such as monitoring temperature or humidity, to measuring more difficult ambient conditions, such as airflow.
We also receive calls about security. This is something we can cover in a few different ways:
- Using a contact security sensor on all doors or windows.
- Motion detectors have been the topic of a few blogs.
- We can install strobe lights that can indicate security breaches.
- We can also install security cameras, which take pictures based on movement.
Universities, colleges and research labs need environmental monitoring
Often times there are various departments on a campus, which house and display wet/dry work areas. There are research labs, reference libraries, conference rooms, administrative offices, computer labs, etc. that ideally should stay within an optimum environmental range.
Our product’s primary function is to meet the teaching and research needs of the schools. Because the risk of inappropriate humidity and temperature levels exists, having those work areas monitored for items such as temperature, humidity, water, smoke, power outages, etc., reduces the risk of valuable work and/or equipment loss. Calamities caused by poor environmental conditions can negatively impact the education infrastructure, students and lectures.
To prevent these hazards, a small network of sensors monitoring various resources can help avoid catastrophes by alerting key staff members.
