Weathergoose by IT watchdogs. 1U rackmount devices with very shallow depth of about an inch or two. Sensors are cheap, 
varied, and you can daisychain dozens of them together. So one server box can monitor entire row of racks. Loads of 
other features too for notification, escalation, and SNMP manageable.

We have Sensaphones (sensaphone.com) in remote offices.  We use IMS-4000s.  They are a 1RU box with RJ45 jacks on the 
front.  You can run CAT-5 to where you want to monitor something, and stick a module on the end of the cable.   They 
have temp, humidity, generic NO/NC sensors, power sensors to graph voltage and alert on voltage swings etc.   They 
can send emails, SNMP traps, or dial out with a modem.      They also have a built in mic that can alert on noise 
increases.     Some models allow you to dial in and listen to the room.

All,

We had an issue with a DC where temps were elevated. The one bit of
hardware that wasn't watched much was the one that sent out the initial
alert. Looking for recommendations on hardware that I can mount/hang in
each cabinet that is easy to set up and will alert us if temps go
beyond a
certain point.

TIA.
