Monitoring Urban Lighting
Apogee photometric radiometers use a photodetector with a spectral response that closely matches the sensitivity of the human eye to light. Typical applications of photometric sensors include measuring light levels for human vision in offices, sports arenas, hospitals, museums, streets and walkways.
The Apogee Photometric sensor (SE-100) is a self-powered sensor.
Urban Light Monitoring SNiP (Sensor Node IoT Package)
To Smart Cities
The SNiP-LUX is a 'Sensor Node Integrated Package' for LoRa, LoRaWAN or FSK communication of real-time illuminance, for continuous environmental monitoring including urban lighting and plant light relations.
TDR (Time Domain Reflectometer) technology has always been regarded as the superior technology to measure soil moisture, especially when accurate VSW% is required with no site calibration. TDR is then frequently used to do soil moisture surveys of irrigation uniformity, slope & embankment variability and ground truthing of Smart Farm & satellite images.
Soilmoisture Equipment Corporation have been developing TDR technologies since 1980’s. Firstly Trase TDR and now HandiTRASE TDR is the latest release:
- Measure moisture from 0 to 100% with ±2% accuracy
- Accurately measures in high salinity and high EC soils
- GPS data & mapping: Smart Farm capable
- TDR analysis with graphs
Time Domain Reflectometry measures the time taken (in nanoseconds) for an electromagnetic pulse to propagate along a waveguide surrounded by soil.
The time of travel, or velocity, of this pulse is effected by the dielectric constant (Ka) of the soil. Wetter soil with a higher dielectric constant, produces a slower velocity pulse.
As TDR measures volumetric soil water (VSW%) independently of all other soil variables, including density, texture, temperature and electrical conductivity, TDR does not require in-situ calibration to accurately measure VSW%.
The CI-340 Handheld Photosynthesis System is a portable, single-handed tool that measures photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration, stomatal conductance, PAR and internal CO2. Light-weight and durable, the CI-340 was designed for field use.
IoT monitoring systems offer new opportunities for management in many applications. ICT International IoT monitoring systems are modular and can be easily changed or further expanded, as needed. To see the full range of IoT environmental monitoring packages, systems, gear and accessories, see our catalogue available from this page.

Science Blogs from CID-Bioscience:
A recent blog discussed water-stress on plants and how they adjust in times of drought (full blog here) while another blog discussed what warmer climate temperatures are doing to cash crops (full blog here).
