ZigBee Based Monitoring of Temperature and Humidity of Server Rooms using Thermal Imaging

Abstract

Real-time monitoring of temperature and humidity of a computer server room became crucial in order to assure that the performance of the server is not affected due to excessive room temperature and humidity. Unregulated and unmonitored increase in temperature and humidity of server room may also cause damage to equipment. Color mapping algorithm transforms the temperature colors of the image captured by the IP camera while the Bicubic algorithm interpolates data points on a two-dimensional grid. The aim of the system is to provide alert mechanism to the administrator when the server room's temperature and humidity goes beyond the critical value. The creation of the ZigBee based device capable of monitoring temperature and humidity of server rooms using thermal imaging can be used for remote administration and give a primary warning to the person who is in charge of the locality. The device can be used to effectively notify the administrator to avoid server equipment to fail.
