Monitoring systems are tools or technologies used to observe and track the performance of various processes, environments, or equipment. They collect data in real-time, allowing users to identify issues, ensure safety, and maintain efficiency. Common applications include environmental monitoring, healthcare monitoring, and industrial process monitoring. These systems often consist of sensors, software, and user interfaces that display the collected information. By analyzing this data, organizations can make informed decisions, optimize operations, and respond quickly to any anomalies. Examples of monitoring systems include security cameras, temperature sensors, and network performance monitors.
