WatchDog Wireless Crop Monitor

The WatchDog® Wireless Crop Monitor measures and transmits the temperature and humidity data via wireless technology. The wireless sensing units can be installed anywhere within a 1300 foot radius from the local base monitoring unit. Adding on additional sensing units couldn’t be easier. Once installed, the units work together to keep you on top of the environmental conditions within your greenhouse. In case of over-temperature or under-temperature conditions, the alarm sounds with a warning light indicator to notify you of the abnormal condition.
