A system and method are disclosed for monitoring a space, and in particular, an enclosure, and its contents over a network. The system can include an microprocessor to provide processing and network connectivity capability, and sensors to detect physical parameters associated with the space. A converter can convert sensor signals to a digital format and provide the signals to the microprocessor. The system includes instructions for processing the signals. An alarm signal can be generated when any of the physical parameters exceeds a corresponding threshold value. The system of the present invention can have at least one port for communicating with the network and memory modules for storing system data. The system of this invention can have a network-based interface such as an HTML interface for providing programming instructions to the microprocessor and for receiving monitoring status and alarm information from the system. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Therefore, a need exists for a method and system for monitoring computer networks and equipment that can fit into different levels of information technology ("IT") management, from very large companies with large network operation centers and deployed worldwide networks, to small companies with one internet server.
A further need exists for a computer network and equipment monitoring method and system that can be implemented in a small space, is simple to install, maintain and manage, and is reliable.
Such a system can be configured with no moving parts, such as the keyboard, disk drives or monitors of conventional computer systems.
An even further need exists for a computer network and equipment monitoring method and system that can provide access and control through a global network such as the internet and that are capable of processing HTTP, HTML, MIME, TeleNet, TCP/IP and SNMP, standards.
A still further need exists for a computer network and equipment monitoring method and system that can provide a video image of a room upon the occurrence of a pre-set condition, such as a door opening.
Still further, a need exists for a computer network and equipment monitoring method and system that can perform continuous computer network monitoring, monitoring of the environmental conditions of a computer room, and an evaluation of individual components, and automatically provide a report in the event of an out-of-limit condition.
Such a system and method should be able to determine the power status of a device, use SNMP, Bios API, or Windows NT (or similar operating systems) to determine accessory conditions, assemble a complete report, and send email or pager messages on out-of-limit conditions.
An even further need exists for a computer network and equipment monitoring method and system that can communicate to personnel monitoring the system via the internet through, for example, an Ethernet 10-base-T Category 3 or Category 5 wire, or through an optional dial-up telephone line for network down conditions
