The Remote Monitoring System V1 is a remote data acquisition and control device designed for use with Battery powered Wireless Internet repeater sites. We recently aquired one of these and plan on using it for a solar powered site in a remote location. More information about the board can be found at http://www.remotemonitoringsystems.ca/rms/rms.php .
We have used internet cameras such as the Dlink DCS-3220 at other sites for security purposes but they draw more power than we will have available. We decided to put a simple set of magnetic door contact switches on one of the IO ports on the RMS board and monitor it via SNMP from our web server and Cacti system.
