Wireless sensor network architecture for remote non-invasive museum monitoring

This paper describes a sensor network architecture developed for museum monitoring. The proposed solution is based on a distributed environment composed of small, nearly invisible measuring nodes that wireless connect to Arduino-based WiFi routers to reach a distributed cloud. Users can connect to the measuring system by using their smart-phones and can receive alerts and measurements in real-time. The entire architecture is based on the available µPanel environment and can be deployed and adapted to the actual conditions in a timely and easy manner. The application described in this paper makes reference to the museum environment, but can seamlessly adapted to several other situations
