Key Benefits

User friendly software, real-time data & alarming

Secure web-access to real-time trends and graphical overviews of all monitored locations. viewLinc's learn-as-you-use interface guides you through tasks and functions. Tours introduce you to common features, saving time and levelling the software learning curve. Drill down into monitored areas in a dashboard view to see data for your devices over any time period. Receive alerts on monitored environments through email, SMS, voice calls and alarm towers.

Data integrity ensured

viewLinc preserves data integrity in many ways. Months of data can be retained in data logger memory, depending on the device model and sample interval. Onboard power and memory in the measurement devices preserve all existing data and ensures measurement continuity during network or power outages. Data is automatically transmitted to the server once connection to the network is restored. Measurement data is then saved to a secure, tamper-proof database on the server.

Easy to deploy and use

viewLinc 5.1 and the associated measurement devices install easily to an existing network via a combination of connectivity options, including Ethernet, Power over Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or VaiNet - Vaisala's proprietary long-range wireless technology. The monitoring devices self-identify within the viewLinc software and come with easy-to-use configuration templates. Tours introduce common tasks, providing useful onscreen guidance, and embedded tooltips provide immediate user assistance making viewLinc easy to learn.
