SuperGoose WxGoos-2
The compact Climate Monitor occupies a 1-U space and contains a complete set of internal sensors. The optional web cam is remotely mounted. A variety of remote sensors are easily added.
This self-contained unit continually monitors climate conditions and displays them via an internally-generated web page. Values are locally shown on a built-in display. The values are continuously graphed for easily seen trends.
A web page displays the current values with graphs showing trends. The web cam image is JPEG format. The data can be viewed on a PDA and cell phone. The unit is configured via the web page. The web page can be quickly configured for specific logos and brand names.
When user-defined thresholds are exceeded, alarms can be sent via e-mail, audio alarm, or SNMP trap. The alarm can be silenced locally. No client software is required.
The simple sheet metal front panel allows ample space for logo and other brand information with color matching.
