The ENVIROMUX® Enterprise Environment Monitoring System monitors critical environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, liquid water presence, power, intrusion, and smoke. When a sensor goes out of range of a configurable threshold, the system will notify you via email, LEDs, alarm beacon, siren, web page, network management (SNMP), voice phone calls (via Automatic Voice Dialer System), and SMS messages (via external USB 3G modem).
The system includes three internal sensors: temperature, humidity and power. It also supports 16 external configurable sensors, eight digital input sensors, and four output relays for control of external devices.

Enterprise Server Environment Monitoring System
How to monitor and manage server room environmental and security conditions over IP. Provides early warnings before critical events turn into disaster.
Application Notes
-
Use Smart Alerts to Inhibit Motion Sensor When Entering a Room Using a Keypad
Events and Smart Alerts can be set-up to enable a configuration that will allow the disabling of motion sensors during the time an operator enters an enclosed area via a keypad, but will re-arm the motion sensors when he exits the area and re-enters the keypad code. This requires the keypad output relay, which will be programmed in "Start/Stop" mode instead of timed delay, to be connected as a digital input to the ENVIROMUX and an output relay from the ENVIROMUX that will activate the door strike when the correct code is entered.
For details on how to set up this configuration, refer to the Knowledge Base entry.

Use a Single USB 3G Modem to Send Out SMS Alerts from Multiple ENVIROMUX Units.
Set up the ENVIROMUX-3GU on one ENVIROMUX unit. Access the web interface of the ENVIROMUX equipped with the modem, and click on Administration > Enterprise, and expand SMS Relay. Select the checkbox for "Enable Server"; this only applies to the ENVIROMUX unit with the modem. Access the other ENVIROMUX units' web interface (no modem) and navigate to SMS Relay. Select the checkbox for "Use remote unit to send SMS" and in the textbox, "Remote unit IP Address," type in the IP address of the ENVIROMUX unit with the ENVIROMUX-3GU. Configure any desired SMS alert settings on all ENVIROMUX units. Any SMS alert messages triggered on the other ENVIROMUX units will be sent through the Ethernet to the main SMS alert unit, which will then use the ENVIROMUX-3GU to send the messages. This reduces the number of ENVIROMUX-3GU units needed to support SMS alerts when using multiple ENVIROMUX units. This SMS relay function is not restricted to identical units and can be integrated with any number and type of ENVIROMUX-2D/5D/16D units.

"Just wanted to let you know that we recently purchased the NTI ENVIROMUX-16D for our Server Room. The interface is easy to navigate, and setup for multiple devices was quick. Monitoring is a real nice feature - having all the data on a single page is awesome. The automatic voice dialer accessory enhances our IT department crises strategy. The ENVIROMUX-16D is feature rich with a wide selection of accessories. After researching several vendors for Environment Monitoring, this System was a great fit in our setting."
