Subject: Monitoring vibration
I am currently researching vibration monitoring equipment to monitor a three-year period of construction at Yale Art Gallery. I would like to install a series of vibration monitors, which could be moved as needed and placed on walls, floors and in showcases etc. Readings would be transmitted to a central logger. The logger would have a preset limit for vibration, which after a short period of sustained vibration above the set level (to avoid one-off spikes), would send out alerts to those overseeing the construction project. This would provide real-time monitoring of the project as well as recording data for future evaluation. So far I have not been able to identify a company that would provide such a system. Small Tinytag vibration monitors are made by Gemini Data Loggers but they do not send data to a remote sensor. Gemini data loggers make a data logger that will send out alert messages but it is not compatible with the Tinytag vibration monitors. I would be grateful to learn if anyone has a solution to this problem.
