Product Name: Cameras and Sensors Watchport Sensors

Product Description

Plug and Play USB sensors for remote monitoring 
Preempt damage to equipment and facilities, reduce costly downtime 
Application software included for device status, data logging and alerts 


The Watchport Series is the first complete line of Plug and Play USB devices for 24/7 environmental monitoring. Choose from sensors for proximity, distance, acceleration/tilt, humidity/temperature, water and temperature. The Watchport Series also includes Watchport USB cameras. 

Creating a made-to-order monitoring system with Watchport sensors can preempt damage to equipment and facilities and also reduce costly system downtime and maintenance. Watchport® Manager application software provides centralized device status and historical data logging, and allows the easy integration of multiple Watchport devices without additional software development. The customizable software can send email, beeper or phone alerts when undesirable conditions are detected, making it ideal for remote monitoring in point-of-sale (kiosks, ATMs), medical and server room applications.
