1. A sensor pod, comprising:
- a housing defining an interior cavity;
a fixture configured to attach the housing to a surface;
an infrared sensor in the cavity configured to monitor infrared light through a first port in the housing; and
a monitoring system disposed in the interior cavity and configured to receive a signal from the infrared sensor and determine whether the housing has been detached from the surface based on the signal, and to generate an alert signal when the housing is determined to have been detached from the surface.

15. A sensor pod, comprising:
-
a housing defining an interior cavity; a sensor in the cavity configured to sense one or more of temperature, humidity, acceleration/shock or visible light through a port in the housing; an RFID tag; a wireless personal area network transceiver in the cavity; a network transceiver in the cavity; a communication control system in the cavity, the communication control system configured to i) determine whether a remote device is associated with the sensor pod by detecting whether a message from the remote device received wireless personal area network transceiver by the matches an ID of the RFID card, and establish communication through the wireless personal area network transceiver with the associated remote device; ii) determine whether no communication has been received from an associated remote device for longer than a first preset time period, and attempt to establish communication through the wireless personal area network transceiver with another remote device, and iii) determine whether no communication through the wireless personal area network transceiver has been established with the another remote device, and attempt to establish communication with a remote server via the network transceiver. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
