1. Product Introduction

SenseCAP is an industrial-grade sensing network system that enables low-power environmental data

acquisition. The system consists of reliable and easy-to-use hardware products, software and cloud services.

SenseCAP currently includes a product family of Sensor Hub 4G Data Logger & Sensors; and SenseCAP LoRaWAN

Gateways & Sensors, etc.

The Sensor Hub series consists of Sensor Hub Data Logger and Sensors. The system uses Modbus-RTU RS485

protocol for communication and can be connected directly to the RS485 sensors that Seeed provides. The Sensor

Hub can also be configured to access collect data from third party sensors that use the standard Modbus-RTU RS485

protocol. It has a maximal support for 32 sensors. The device uploads the collected data via 4G/3G/2G to user’s

private MQTT server or to SenseCAP cloud. There are two types of power supply: wall power and solar power. With

a built-in high-capacity rechargeable lithium battery, Sensor Hub can work for up to 2 weeks in rainy days or during

power outage. When communication signals are weak or disconnect, the data can be cached locally, greatly

reducing the risk of data loss. The equipment is waterproof and resistant to UV and rain, anti-aging, and can be

deployed in harsh outdoor environments.

SenseCAP also provides an easy-to-use cloud platform and services. Users can scan QR codes on the devices

with mobile apps, bind devices to corresponding accounts, and manage devices and view data on the web portal

conveniently. The platform also provides API services that allow users to obtain data from cloud platforms and

quickly integrate it for their own applications.
