Sensor Function

The SenseCAP T1000 Tracker is equipped with 3 sensors: Temperature sensor, Light sensor and 3-Axis Accelerometer. You can choose enable or disable these sensors:

note

When the sensors are turned on, the device will consume more power.

Sensor	Description
Temperature	Onboard independent temperature sensor. here may be some temperature measurement delay here, because it is separated from the shell. Range: -20 to 60℃; Accuracy: ± 1℃(min 0.5℃, max 1℃); Resolution: 0.1℃
Light	The light sensor is not the actual lumen value monitored, but a percentage of the light from dark to amount. Mainly can be used for anti-demolition monitoring and some light sensitive monitoring. Range: 0 to 100%, (0% is dark, 100% is brightest)
3-Axis Accelerometer	By setting the value of acceleration, motion event and shock event are triggered.

Battery

Battery life depends on factors such as uplink interval, sensor usage, LoRa transmission distance, and operating temperature. Predicted battery life is based on a typical working environment (25°C) and serves as a reference. Actual battery life may vary.

SenseCAP Portal

The main function of the SenseCAP Portal is to manage SenseCAP devices and store data. It is built on Azure, a secure and reliable cloud service from Microsoft. Users can apply for an account and bind all devices to this account. The SenseCAP Portal provides a web portal and API. The web portal includes Dashboard, Device Management, Data Management, and Access Key Management. The API is open to users for further development.

• Dashboard: Including Device Overview, Announcement, Scene Data, and Data Chart, etc.
• Device Management: Manage SenseCAP devices.
• Data Management: Manage data, including Data Table and Graph section, providing methods to search for data.
• Subaccount System: Register subaccounts with different permissions.
• Access Key Management: Manage Access Key (to access API service), including Key Create, Key Update, and Key Check.
