Abstract

A remote intelligent monitoring system includes a server and a plurality of LED street lamps. Each of the plurality of LED street lamps includes a plurality of LED light sources connected in parallel, a detecting module and a sensing module. The detecting module detects the functioning of each LED light source, and the sensing module detects atmospheric information of the area where the LED street lamp is located. If the detected functioning is not consistent with specified electrical standards corresponding to the detected atmospheric information, either the server or the LED street lamp itself can adjust the electrical functioning of the LED light sources to accord with the specified standards.
