IP Based Monitoring<\/strong> is one of the\u00a0advanced modes of \"IP<\/a>monitoring, analyzing and controlling parameters such as Temperature, Humidity, Water, Smoke and many more. We offer such monitoring systems with variant options and additions to be made. These systems can be installed or set up in assets such as Data Centers, Warehouses, Cold Rooms, and Critical Commercial or Industrial areas. These systems come with a cloud platform where you can view the data in real-time. This is often considered a major point of convenience for customers worldwide which helps them to keep a track of variations in their assets. We will now give an overview of the technicality, operating principle, applications and system structures.<\/p>\n

                Damocles2 is a network device for monitoring and controlling digital inputs and relay outputs over a LAN. It is typically used as a web relay (also called IP relay, web relay or SNMP relay), an on-off switch or remote power control (e.g. remote power off) for remote products, and for connecting to IoT (Internet of Things). Some of its major features are:<\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Four dry contacts can be connected to the Damocles2 MINI digital inputs (DI) and two digital relay outputs (DO) that can be controlled over a LAN.<\/li>\n
                2. Damocles2 is often used as a remote Ethernet relay for Poseidon2 where a virtual output of the Poseidon2 unit can be connected over the network to a physical relay output of the Damocles2 unit.<\/li>\n
                3. The power supply needed is 9-30V DC and this device also supports PoE (IEEE 802.3af)<\/li>\n
                4. Upon any parameter fluctuation, Poseidon2 sends email alerts or SMS\/Ring alerts with the help of an HWg-SMS-GW (SMS Gateway)<\/li>\n
                5. An SNMP-based device that sends monitoring alerts and SMS through a network to a maximum number of 5 recipients.<\/li>\n

                    IP WatchDog2 Industrial: Ping restarter<\/h3>\n

                    IP WatchDog2 periodically checks the function of monitoring devices (by transmitting or receiving an \u201cI’m alive and OK\u201d signal over LAN or RS-232 line). If the required response is not received in time, the device is restarted using a relay. This entire process is automatic, without any additional software or human intervention. IP WatchDog2 Industrial has the potential to monitor 10 devices.<\/p>\n

                    When an outage is detected, WatchDog2 reacts by power-cycling or restarting the device using its two output channels (relays), sending an e-mail or a text message (SMS), or activating an audible alarm.<\/p>\n
