Utilizing the application of sensors to develop low-cost remote sensing system for monitoring forest environmental activity

Current study shows that the advances in wireless sensor technology create a chance to promptly and effortlessly deploy low-cost, wide-scale and a network of low-power sensors across moderately considerable environmental areas. Additionally, the advancement and increase of small but affordable wireless hardware is further completed by the open source software components that rapidly developed. A variety of wireless sensor products are offered for environmental monitoring as well as compromising mass-produced network hardware that are well-suited with the Arduino open-source platform. The aim of this research had been concerned with the implementation of sensors to develop low-cost monitoring system for capturing environmental data in the forest. In fact, the main focus for developing this device had been to measure the temperature, humidity, as well as hazardous gaseous, such as carbon monoxide, butane, propane, methane, and carbon dioxide. In addition, the device must be able to detect fire and rain, whereby all the data gathered from the device were transmitted to GSM by sending message in real-time. The device was also equipped with GPS function to track the location of the device by its latitude and longitude.
