[Nhcoll-l] monitoring collections environment

[Lennart Lennuk]

Thank you.
So the HOBO seems to be a good choice, but I still have few questions.

-          the bluetooth does not seem to give a opportunity for a central monitoring system

-          battery powering means that there is need to change batteries regulary – would it be better if the loggers are connected to main current?

Best!
Lennart

I concur with Andy's recommendation of Onset HOBO data loggers.

We've used a number of them for quite a few years. They have been remarkably stable and dependable. All the units we deployed in 2014 are still functioning just fine (along with newer ones we've purchased since then).

Here in Southern California, we can even get away with using an "indoor" sensor outdoors in an appropriate outdoor temperature instrument screened housing. But I don't recommend that for locations with actual weather.

I would suggest HOBO recorders from Onset.  There are various different models that are battery operated and can be downloaded through Bluetooth connection to your smartphone for transfer to your computer.  They also have an LCD display for real time monitoring.

The ones that we use for monitoring our collection spaces are these:  https://www.onsetcomp.com/products/data-loggers/mx1101

We have been using them for a long time and they are great.  Small enough to monitor microclimates within cases as well as entire rooms.

Hi!

Can you please suggest good monitoring systems for collections in Europe.
What do I need (internet cable, wifi, electricity) to install the loggers into collections?

Best regards!
