1. A server system for remote monitoring, the server system comprising:
- a communication interface for cost-controlled communication over a wireless communications network with a microprocessor controlled control board at a remote location, the communication interface configured to receive packets of compressed sensor data;
a processor configured to;
decompress packets of compressed sensor data received from the control board, wherein the packets have a predetermined maximum byte length based on control board report settings that control communication costs versus power usage,determine what sensor data is associated with a sensor, anddetermine whether an alarm level is triggered for a sensor;
a storage device configured to store received sensor data; and
a web interface that allows the server system'"'"'s user to;
configure control board report settings by sending instructions to the control board,configure alarm settings used by the processor to determine whether an alarm level is triggered for a sensor, andaccess historical data of a sensor based on the stored sensor data.

Abstract
A server system for remote monitoring includes a wireless communication interface, a processor, and a storage device. The wireless communication interface receives at least one data packet over wireless communications from a remote monitoring system. The processor processes the data packet including sensor information from a sensor coupled to the remote monitoring system. The storage device stores the sensor information.
