Whilst the buzz words may be ‘cyber security’ and the threat hackers pose, it's actually physical factors such as fire, flood, overheating, high humidity and power failure that account for 30% business downtime.

Environmental monitoring using Room Alert from AVTECH is pretty easy to install and relatively low cost, so monitoring the events you know may well happen is not too difficult. This, combined with the increase in extreme environmental factors, is one of the reasons for the increase in sales of the Room Alert range of monitors, sensors, accessories and software.

Power
When it comes to power failures, then a UPS can provide a temporary solution to keep a facility running, but power will only be provided whilst the batteries last. If you are fortunate enough to have a generator, then this often needs a manual intervention to start and switch over to generator power. The earlier you are informed about the power failure, the better so you can take swift action and implement a remedy. Room Alert is able to inform you the instant there is a power failure at your business.

Temperature
High temperatures can cause havoc with systems and servers. A common problem occurs when there is a HVAC failure, with the knock on effect being system failures through overheating. Installing Room Alert and multiple sensors can allow you not only to monitor your systems for temperature changes, but also give you an early notification of any HVAC power failure.

Humidity
Humidity can cause problems for electrical components. High humidity can cause damage and premature failures whilst low humidity can cause static discharges and malfunctioning. Also, in manufacturing and storage, keeping humidity between certain levels can be important. Monitoring humidity in vital areas, therefore, can be critical to keep your business running smoothly, and Room Alert monitoring with humidity sensors can really help.

Water Ingress
Nothing can bring a business to a halt quicker than a water leak. Whether that’s due to a burst pipe, a leaking roof or flood, monitoring the presence of water quickly can save a business thousands of pounds. Installing flood sensors with cables means you can easily monitor multiple areas in your business to alert you to the presence of water as soon as it’s detected, saving your business from disaster.
