One of the best features of our Room Alert environment\nmonitors is the ability to manage them from anywhere in the world thanks to our\nRoom Alert Account. Users can see alerts, reports, graphs, maps and more from\nany Internet-connected device, allowing them to have an up-to-date overview of all\nthe Room Alerts installed in their facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve learned over the past 31 years that most Room Alert\nusers don\u2019t purchase one monitor and call it a day. Rather, they purchase\nmultiple Room Alerts to cover their mission-critical areas, whether it\u2019s\ninstalling one in most cabinets in their server room, or installing Room Alert\nin various locations within a warehouse to cover both products as well as employee\nwellness, or making sure every facility they oversee has a Room Alert to notify\nthem of any adverse environment factor that could cause damage and downtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Room Alert\nAccount portal is available 24\/7 from everywhere<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Effectively monitoring multiple Room Alerts along with the sensors\neach user installs based on their exact needs is easy with the Room Alert\nAccount portal. Not only can it be accessed by any Internet-connected device,\nit\u2019s also mobile-friendly and responsive. This means that any alert, graph, or\nreport you pull up while at your workstation can also be pulled up on your\nmobile phone or tablet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This aspect of remote Room Alert Account access is particularly helpful when an off-hours alert is received. It seems that issues pop up at the most inopportune times and being able to get an immediate overview by simply pulling up your Room Alert Account dashboard on your phone is beyond helpful. Whether it\u2019s at 3am, or you\u2019re spending a long weekend at the beach, if you have signal to your phone, you can immediately see what\u2019s happening within your facility and take the steps needed to help avoid costly downtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accessing your Room Alert Account portal from your phone also allows you to access all of the features our patent-pending Monitor360 technology<\/a> provides, including virtual sensors, advanced alerting and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using SNMP monitoring\nsoftware suites with Room Alert<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our users often find us after they\u2019ve experienced damages\nand downtime caused by factors such as high temperatures, HVAC failure, water\nleaks caused by broken pipes and more. We find that they have monitoring in\nplace\u2026 however it\u2019s heavily focused on cybersecurity and looking out for environmental\nfactors that cause data loss and downtime aren\u2019t taken into consideration until\nit\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In these instances, a monitoring platform may already be in\nplace, such as a suite like PTRG, Solar Winds, Nagios, or another software\nsuite that uses SNMP to monitor network devices. When a new user comes to us and\nwants to use Room Alert to monitor their environment, it\u2019s very easy to\nintegrate Room Alert monitors and sensors into their existing monitoring\nplatform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MIB files for all our Room Alert monitors are provided to\nour users through their Room Alert Account and integrating Room Alert is\ncompleted in a matter of minutes. This allows our users to continue to use a\nmonitoring platform they are familiar and comfortable with, while also taking full\nadvantage of the alerting, graphing, and reporting features Room Alert provides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If no monitoring platform is currently in use, our free Device\nManageR software can easily be downloaded and installed to a host PC on the\nuser\u2019s network. Device ManageR allows for full alerting, graphing and reporting\njust like our Room Alert Account platform, only it\u2019s locally hosted within the\nuser\u2019s network. Device ManageR also allows for corrective actions; for\ninstance, if a high temperature alert is triggered by Room Alert, Device\nManageR can remotely turn on a fan to help bring the temperature down while you\u2019re\nactively responding to the alert. For another example, a water leak alert can\ntrigger a sump pump to automatically turn on to help prevent widespread water\ndamage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each Room Alert\u2019s built-in firmware also allows for alerting\naccess, giving users a direct link to the hardware to monitor environment factors\nif they prefer that method as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay on top of costly\ndowntime with Room Alert<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Every organization is different. That\u2019s why we designed Room\nAlert to be customizable with a wide range of different sensors, allowing each\nuser to have an exact solution based on their own monitoring needs. It\u2019s also\nwhy we provide every user multiple ways to monitor their Room Alerts. Some\nusers prefer the ease and accessibility of the Room Alert Account portal, while\nothers like the local aspect of our Device ManageR software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also have many users who opt to use multiple monitoring solutions\nas well, such as combining alerts set up in their Room Alert Account portal\nwith logging and graphing through their SNMP network monitoring software. There\u2019s\nno right or wrong way to manage your Room Alert – we want every user to rely on\nthe method that\u2019s best for them and their own organization\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re pulling up your Room Alert Account portal on\nyour phone at home, or logging into Device ManageR from your workstation at the\noffice, you rely on Room Alert to help keep your organization protected. That\u2019s\nwhy we\u2019ve made it as easy as possible for you to set up your alerts, log your\nsensor data, and stay on top of any potential issues. As outages due to high\ntemperature and power outages become more commonplace, Room Alert will be there\nto alert your team and help you to prevent costly downtime. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
