Abstract:
An early-warning detection and notification network for monitoring dynamic environmental conditions comprising:(a) a plurality of remotely located environmental sensors having a communications uplink to a communication relay;(b) a downlink interface from said communication relay to a database server adapted to hold environmental condition data;(c) a communications interface between said database server and a data network wherein said sensors periodically upload environmental condition data to said communication relay and said downlink interface adapted to send environmental condition data to said database server, said communications interface providing access to said condition data through said data network;(d) a threshold notification means between said database server and an end user interface, said threshold notification means adapted to record at least one or more end-user-defined trigger levels for at least one or more environmental conditions whereby a notification signal is generated and transmitted when said at least one or more user-defined trigger levels is equal to or greater than the levels in data retrieved from said remotely located environmental sensor.
