Cisco AV200 Outdoor Temperature and Humidity Sensor

The AV200 is an outdoor temperature and humidity sensor purpose-built to augment Cisco Industrial Asset Vision. This LoRaWAN-enabled device delivers secure, low‑power environmental data from remote sites straight to your asset monitoring platform. With an industrial-grade design, easy deployment, and seamless integration with Cisco IAV, the AV200 provides real-time visibility into critical environmental conditions that can impact equipment performance, battery life, and product quality. Whether you manage a network of outdoor assets, a manufacturing campus, or field installations, the AV200 helps you protect assets, optimize operations, and reduce unplanned downtime through proactive monitoring.

Designed for harsh outdoor environments, the AV200 captures precise temperature and humidity readings and transmits them over LoRaWAN to Cisco Industrial Asset Vision. This combination enables reliable, long-range coverage across large campuses and remote facilities while keeping power consumption low for extended battery life. By unifying environmental data with Cisco IAV analytics, facilities and maintenance teams receive actionable insights, alerting them to drift in conditions before equipment is stressed or workflows are disrupted. The result is smarter asset stewardship, improved energy management, and a safer, more efficient operation across outdoor deployments.

• Real-time outdoor temperature and humidity monitoring: The AV200 continuously measures ambient temperature and relative humidity, delivering timely data that helps protect sensitive equipment, battery packs, and processes exposed to the elements. With near real-time updates, teams can respond quickly to changing conditions and document environmental trends over time.
• LoRaWAN connectivity for long-range, low-power transmission: Built to excel in wide-area deployments, the sensor communicates through LoRaWAN to gateways without demanding frequent maintenance or battery replacements. This enables scalable monitoring across campuses, industrial sites, and remote locations where wired connectivity is impractical.
• Seamless Cisco Industrial Asset Vision integration: Pair the AV200 with Cisco IAV to centralize environmental monitoring, visualize trends on intuitive dashboards, and configure automated alerts based on user-defined thresholds. The integration enables cross-site comparisons, historical analysis, and rapid fault diagnosis for complex asset networks.
• Rugged outdoor design and flexible mounting options: Engineered for outdoor use, the AV200 supports versatile mounting on walls, poles, or equipment enclosures. Its robust housing stands up to temperature swings, humidity, wind, and dust, making it suitable for rooftops, loading docks, parking structures, and outdoor cabinets.
• Data-driven insights and proactive maintenance: Turn environmental readings into actionable intelligence. By correlating temperature and humidity with asset performance, teams can schedule maintenance, optimize cooling strategies, and prevent condition-based failures before they affect uptime or product quality.
