1. A monitoring system comprising a non-transitory, physical storage medium storing computer-readable program code, the program code executable by a hardware processor, the program code when executed by the hardware processor causing the hardware processor to execute steps comprising:

  • receiving sensory data about a physical environment from one or more sensors;

    receiving IP data of the one or more sensors, wherein the IP data comprises at least an Internet Protocol (IP) address and a network status of at least one of the sensors;

    processing the sensory data from the one or more sensors to detect one or more primitive sensory events;

    normalizing the primitive sensory events into a standardized data format;

    storing the normalized sensory events in an event database for later retrieval;

    retrieving one or more stored sensory events from the event database;

    evaluating one or more historical correlations by automatically analyzing said stored sensory events, across at least one of time and space, for one or more historical correlations among the stored sensory events;

    monitoring continuously and in real-time the primitive sensory events from the one or more sensors based on the one or more historical correlations to identify one or more critical events;

    monitoring continuously and in real-time the network status of one or more of the sensors based on the IP data to identify one or more network failure events; and

    sending one or more alerts based on at least one of said critical events and said network failure events.
