This networking evening focuses on issues of connectivity for monitoring in the home. How are sensors in the home, whether they are physical sensors, movement sensors or even diagnostic devices for health monitoring, connected to the wider world. Often this would be through the internet but what are the issues with collecting data from the sensors and securely send the information to the web for analysis and use.

Our speakers will set the scene and explore the issues with home monitoring and offer possible solutions.
