CHAPTER 1
Short description of SmartGuard
SmartGuard is the next generation sensor- and instrument HUB for Ocean, Lake, Reservoir, Estuary and River
Hydrometric stations.
SmartGuard is targeted to integrate new and existing sensors into an Aanderaa observatory node with
modern self-describing data format, real-time communication and large data storage capacity.
SmartGuard takes all Aanderaa sensors, including subsea and meteorology sensors, as well as most 3
rd
party
sensors. You can connect a GPS receiver to the logger and transmit data via LAN, AIS, modems or satellite
communication.
SmartGuard has great flexibility with data registration from a vast number of sensors subsea and air, making
the SmartGuard well suited for a variety of applications such as e.g. Automatic Weather Stations, Road
Weather Stations, Wind Monitoring Systems, Water Level Measuring Systems and more.
SmartGuard is easy setup from up to date PC Software, and it is fully integrated with AADI real-time system.
