MaxMon's innovative idea is to use low-cost Android phones running our free MaxMon app as powerful but affordable Internet-enabled remote property monitoring devices.

Leave an Android phone running our free MaxMon app in your remote property and it will monitor power, location, sound and motion using its built-in sensors, and email or text you reports - for example alerting you to a power cut. You can even take remote photos! Don't worry if you're unfamiliar with Android: we provide step-by-step help and sell pre-configured phones. |
Need more? MaxMon manufactures and sells an Android accessory called the Quatropus that plugs in between the phone and its charger and seamlessly adds a wide range of additional sensors (which monitor things) and actuators (which control things) to the MaxMon app's remote reporting, alerting and control capabilties. |

MaxMon sells Quatropus bundles that include everything you need for your application (including cables), for a lower price than buying components. Decide what you want to monitor and control and add the corresponding sensors or actuators to your bundle. Add a pre-configured phone. Choose a Quatropus. Get a great price. |
The MaxMon app scans the phone and Quatropus sensors and emails and/or texts you scheduled reports or immediate alerts, which you can view on any email- or text-capable device - without installing special software or subscribing to a paid online service. Check out a MaxMon alert. |

Use MaxMon actuators to switch mains- or battery-powered devices on or off at your remote property: on a daily schedule, automatically in response to sensor alerts or from the comfort of your armchair! A free MaxMon web application enables you to remotely configure and control the remote MaxMon app, from any location. |
