This guide will help you quickly find the solution that best fits your needs.


There are Three Types of monitoring


Basic Monitoring

Ideal if you only need to monitor 1–2 temperature points and receive e-mail alerts. Easy to install and cost-effective.


Use cases: small server rooms, offices, technical rooms.

Advanced Monitoring

Supports multiple sensor types (temperature, humidity, door contacts, smoke, water), data history, charts, and integration with IT systems.


Use cases: warehouses, larger IT environments, operational technology.

Critical Infrastructure Monitoring

Maximum reliability with support for many sensors and dual alarms (e-mail, SMS, SNMP, relay outputs). Designed for 24/7 environments.


Use cases: data centers, industrial plants, telecom infrastructure.

How to Choose the Right Solution?


When selecting a monitoring device, consider:


  • How many locations do I need to measure?

  • Do I need only temperature, or multiple sensors?

  • What kind of alerts do I require? (SNMP, e-mail, SMS, Ring Tone, Relay)

  • Will I integrate the device into an existing system?

  • Is this a normal or a critical environment?

  • What software I want to use?




Choose the Right Software?


Software Options: Cloud or On-Premise (Server Installation)



Cloud Software

Runs online in a secure cloud environment. No installation is required.


Choose Cloud if you want:

  • Quick setup with no IT support

  • Access from anywhere (mobile, PC, tablet) Automatic updates and maintenance

  • Monitoring multiple sites without a VPN

  • Lower initial cost and simple operation


Examples: SensDesk.com, HWG-Cloud.com

On-Premise Software (Installed on Your Server, Behind a Firewall)

Runs inside your company network for maximum security and full control.


Choose On-Premise if you need:

  • Complete data control within your infrastructure

  • Operation without Internet access

  • Compliance with internal IT security policies Integration with existing systems inside your LAN

  • High-security environments (banks, government, industry)


Example: SensDesk PRO Installable (Local Server Version)

ANY Third-Party Software (Based on SNMP Protocol)


Use monitoring platforms that support SNMP to integrate HW group devices into existing systems.


Choose SNMP Software if you want:

  • To use your existing NMS platform

  • Full customization of dashboards and notifications

  • Integration with large enterprise systems

  • Central monitoring of mixed hardware from different vendors

  • Support for IT standards (SNMPv1/v2c, traps, polling)


Examples:

  • Nagios / Icinga

  • PRTG

  • Zabbix
