By monitoring/supervision focus is on the possibility to see measured values in real time, here and now. The system is typically made, so that the measured values can be viewed 'live' on PC, tablet or mobile phone.
The measured data can be logged, so you can later view and analyze the trend of the measured values.
It is possible to configure alarms so that you receive an SMS or email when a specific event occurs.
The system can be supplemented with cameras that provide additional information about the state here and now.
