Noise Monitors (Acoem Fusion 4G)

Featuring fully integrated components like built-in 4G connectivity, GPS and WiFi, Fusion has a compact, robust and ergonomic design perfectly suited to field work. Exceptional functionality and certified metrology ensure excellent reliability and accuracy. With the ability to operate autonomously for 24 hours, Fusion goes the distance.

Detecting and providing information about noise and vibration
measurement is critical to the monitoring process. With the Fusion event detection filtering system, each event generates event markers, signal recordings (MP3 or WAV), SMS notifications and warning lights as required.

By adding audio and video functionality, Fusion lets you not only see the data, but the event that caused it. Recorded audio and video which is stored on our server, also provide historical back up for regulatory compliance, internal/external reporting, operational assessment or proof of monitoring in legal proceedings.
