Culturebee - A Fully Wireless Monitoring and Control System for Protecting Cultural Heritage

This paper presents a component based wireless monitoring and control system. The system is introduced from both the system architecture and function point of view. The paper begins with the introduction of the component design and the communication interaction between them. The system is composed by three components, the wireless sensor network, the local server and the main server. Wireless sensor networks are deployed in different locations for remote monitoring and control purpose. The monitoring results and control commands are synchronized between the main server and wireless sensor networks via local servers. The test results of the battery life time calculation and remote monitoring field test results are presented in the end of the paper.
