A low cost web based remote monitoring system with built-in security feature for vulnerable environments

24×7 monitoring of environmental phenomena and security are the two prime areas of concern in an industrial setup. This paper mainly focus on the design and implementation of an intelligent, low cost and fully automated system which will be able to provide full time monitoring and eventual security to the concerned setup. The targeted area includes all type of susceptible environment like gas filling station, research and development laboratories etc. The system has the flexibility to add more number of nodes to the setup. The mode of communication implemented in the system is wired and could be migrated to wireless as required.
