The OnSiteMonitor platform allows you to use the computer you already have to create a home monitoring/security system. Our software allows you to use Off-the-Shelf devices to control your climate, turn lights on/off, monitor your home with cameras, and much, much more.

All you need is a computer that is always on, the OnSiteMonitor software, WiFi Cameras of your choosing, and devices if you want to control appliances, lights, etc. Our Starter Kits get you going with basic Home Security and Home Automation functions.

Check out the available package options.

Each device added to your OnSiteMonitor platform has a status. This status can be used to perform actions when events occur for ANY device. There are also computer functions that can be monitored, i.e. free space on your computer. We offer you flexibility to create events and schedules that allow you to build out your own Home Security and Home Automation system.

For example, when your motion sensor has detected motion, you can email a photo from your camera to one or more people, make a phone call, play an MP3 sound file, turn on a siren, and maybe even turn on a light. Likewise, if the temperature in your home falls below 70 degrees, you can turn on the heater and set the thermostat set point to 80 degrees.

The OnSiteMonitor platform allows you the freedom to create a configuration that works for you and not a system that confines you to a limited set of options imposed by other vendors.

Your identity and location is secured!

Your Personal Identifiable Information (PII) is not available via your web account. The userid can be anything you want it to be. It is created when you install the OnSiteMonitor software on your computer.

There is no reference to your name, address on the web site.

Adding your DIY projects into OnSiteMonitor allows you to take advantage of all integrations and features the system has to offer. It only a few clicks to add your device.

Your DIY project has function as a HTTP client/server. The Web Server on your device accepts commands from OnSiteMonitor. The HTTP client will send status changes to OnSiteMonitor.

To get you up and running quickly, sample projects are available on this web site.

If you want to receive a phone call when an event occurs, OnSiteMonitor can place a call from one to three phone numbers. Depending on your need, we offer three ways to receive a call: 1) Internet Calls, 2) Land Line Modem, 3) Cellular/GSM Modem.

The Internet Phone Call is the most sophisticated option. This option does require a WiFi or LAN connection and does carry a per call fee. Using this option allows you to have customized phone messages that can tell you what device and status the call is about. Also, you can acknowledge the call to prevent calls from being placed to the remaining numbers in the call list.

The cellular phone call requires a special modem and incurs a monthly fee from your cellular service provider. If you prefer to purchase a land line modem, there are no additional fees to pay for receiving a call.

As long as you have added at least one device to OnSiteMonitor, you can create an event to monitor the device and take action when a condition has been reached. Likewise, you can create schedules to cause an action to be performed at a specific point in time or on a re-occurring basis.

Each schedule can have one or more actions. For example, you may have a need to turn on a series of lights on at a specific time of day. You may also want to receive camera photos periodically throughout the day when you are away from home.

Events work in a similar manner. You would create an event to monitor a device setting. When the device meets or reaches a specific setting or threshold, OnSiteMonitor will perform the requested action(s). For example, if the temperature in your house reaches 60 degrees, you may want to turn on your heater and set the thermostat to 72 degrees.

There is an additional option which is “On Demand”. This item is accessible remotely and can be selected to run at any time.
