Abstract:
1. An arrangement for monitoring a structure when at a fixed location, comprising: a sensor system arranged to obtain information about the structure or an interior of the structure different than a location of the structure; an initiation device for periodically initiating said sensor system to obtain information about the structure; a position or location determining system arranged on the structure to determine the location of the structure; a communication system coupled to said sensor system and being provided with the location of the structure from said position or location determining system, said communication system being arranged to transmit the information about the structure obtained by said sensor system and the location of the structure provided by said position or location determining system to a remote facility; and a wakeup sensor system for detecting motion of the structure, a change in motion of the structure, sound in the interior of the structure, light in the interior of the structure, a change in the light in the interior of the structure, or vibration of the structure, said initiation device being coupled to said wakeup sensor system and being arranged to change the rate at which it initiates said sensor system to obtain information about the structure or an interior of the structure in response to the detected motion, change in motion, sound, light, change in light or vibration detected by said wakeup sensor system.
