A wireless environmental monitoring system is disclosed comprising at
least one monitor unit in wireless communication with a remote monitoring
centre by way of the Internet and a server unit wherein the server unit
is in wireless communication with both the monitor unit and the remote
monitoring centre. The monitor unit comprises at least one sensor
configured to detect an anomalous environmental condition such as the
presence of or undesirable change in environmental variables. The monitor
unit further comprises an alarm system and a relay output wherein the
relay output is configured to trigger an event in response to the
anomalous environmental condition to mitigate damage that may be caused
by the anomalous environmental condition. The remote monitoring centre is
configured to receive and monitor the operational parameters of the
monitor unit to interpret an anomalous environmental condition detected
by the monitor unit in light of operational variations which may affect
the accuracy of the monitor unit. The remote monitoring centre is also
configured to receive and communicate environmental data to the monitor
unit to establish the base threshold level used to determine an anomalous
environmental condition.
