Be aware of light levels and protect sensitive valuables

The Monnit Light Meter (wireless) uses a highly sensitive photo-diode to detect and measure the intensity of light around the device.

The sensor is also capable of alerting upon detection of a change in lighting conditions. The sensor returns a value in ‘lux’ to the iMonnit Online Sensor Monitoring and Notification System. If lux measurements move outside of user-set limits, these meters alert designated users via text, email, or call for correction. The data is stored in the online system and can be reviewed and exported as a data sheet or graph. Notifications can be set up through the online system to alert the user when light is present or not with the ability to only notify within time of day parameters.

Monnit’s mount-and-monitor meter measures light intensity in lux (the SI unit of illumination, equal to one lumen/square meter). These light meters have a measurement range of 0–83,000 lux (indoor range) that spans from moonlit nights to full daylight. This makes them helpful in protecting light-sensitive materials and irreplaceable art and allows them to play a vital role in security

The sensor comes with two AA batteries included with a life of up to 10 years.
