What makes the Davis EnviroMonitor (EM) systems different to the wireless Davis systems?
Category:
Davis Instruments Cellular Telemetry
- Both the IP and Cellular Gateway allow you to add any four compatible sensors to each EM Node. EM Nodes allow the use of the Davis sensors and a selection of third party sensors. See our Resources page for a list of compatible sensors
- The EM cellular gateway allows you to monitor in real time remote sites that do not have internet or power
- An EM IP Gateway may give an extended transmission range over the wireless Davis WeatherLink systems and allows the use of the Nodes
- EnviroMonitor systems have a annual data plan, which does make them more expensive than a WeatherLink system
- Both systems use the same sensor suites (usually the Vantage Pro 2 sensor suites)
- To sum up: the EnviroMonitor systems are our most expensive Davis product, and they are a great solution for specific situations. However, for people with internet on site and who only need a smaller range of data, the wireless Davis systems are a cheaper alternative
