HOBO RX3000 Remote Monitoring Station
Overview
The most flexible remote data logging station from HOBO Data Loggers, the HOBO RX3000 provides instant access to site-specific environmental data anywhere, at any time, via the internet. This configurable station combines the versatility and sensor quality of more expensive systems, an onboard LCD display, and the convenience of plug-and-play operation. (See “Configure System” tab below.)
The RX3000 station is the main component of the cost-effective and scalable HOBOnet Field Monitoring System for crop management, environmental research, warehouse, cold chain, and greenhouse operations.
