4G Rainfall Monitoring Kit – Direct-to-Cloud

4G Rainfall Monitoring Kit – Direct-to-Cloud

PriceFrom $550.00
A fully wireless, battery-powered rainfall monitoring solution that sends real-time precipitation data directly to the cloud over NB-IoT/LTE-M. Combining a rugged tipping-bucket rain gauge with a long-life dry-contact IoT sensor, this kit delivers accurate rainfall totals, event counts, and intensity—even in remote locations without power or Wi-Fi. Designed for agriculture, hydrology, environmental monitoring, and weather stations, it provides years of maintenance-free operation with instant alerts and seamless integration into any cloud platform or ProSight dashboard.

A complete, low-power, field-ready rainfall monitoring system that transmits real-time precipitation events straight to the cloud using NB-IoT or LTE-M. Designed for agriculture, environmental monitoring, hydrology, and remote field stations, this kit combines a smart NB-IoT Dry Contact Sensor with an Economical Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge, delivering accurate rainfall data anywhere with cellular coverage.

This system requires no external power, offers years of battery life, and provides a plug-and-play data link to your cloud platform (MQTT/TCP/UDP/CoAP). Ideal for long-term unmanned deployments, irrigation automation, and weather monitoring.

📡 How It Works

  • The tipping bucket rain gauge produces a pulse (dry contact) output for every preset volume of rainfall.

  • The NB-IoT dry contact sensor detects each bucket tip and sends the event instantly to your cloud server.

  • Data is logged, time-stamped, and visualised as rainfall totals, intensity, and duration.

No wiring to mains power and no base station required — the 4G module communicates directly with your cloud dashboard.
