Environmental Monitoring

Always-on coverage. Zero maintenance headaches.

Conserv’s sensors are purpose-built for cultural heritage spaces: accurate, discrete, and built on a long-range wireless network that works where WiFi and Bluetooth don’t.

You manage your collection. We manage the hardware.

Most monitoring systems hand you hardware and walk away. Conserv is different. We manage the hardware we provide across its lifecycle, ensuring it is accurate and always on. If you have issues, our support team is always here to help, and if a device fails, we replace it.

Your team stays focused on collections care, not device management.

100
hours saved per year
Conserv’s wireless system can save hours of manual work each month, giving you more time to spend caring for your collection.

Get set up in minutes, not days

Setting up a device is as simple as pulling a tab. We handle all the device and network management for you.

Data recovery & self-healing

In the event of an outage, the system recovers missed readings automatically, so you don’t have to worry about gaps in your dataset.

Calibration & battery replacement included

Calibration and battery management are included in your subscription, so you never need to worry about missing or inaccurate data.

Full hardware warranty

If a sensor fails, we replace it. No warranty expiration, no hidden fees.

Sustainability built in

Sensors ship in sustainable packaging. When hardware reaches end of life, we refurbish or responsibly recycle it. Learn more.

Sensors

The right sensor for every space

Every Conserv sensor works together on a single wireless network: no separate apps, no complex deployments, no disconnected data.

Standard Collection Spaces

Smart Collection Sensor

Most Popular

Smart Collection Sensor

Best for: galleries, storage rooms, reading rooms, display cases

Measures temperature, relative humidity, light, UV, and shocks. Minimum of 3 years battery life, self-healing and offline data retrieval, and unparalleled wireless range mean you can be confident you are collecting data reliably and accurately.

Specialized Environments

Cold Storage Sensor

Outdoor Sensor

Best for: rooftops, courtyards, building exteriors

Weatherproof and rated for outdoor deployment. Provides direct measurement of outdoor temperature and humidity so you can see how weather events affect conditions inside your collection spaces.

Cold Storage Sensor

Cold / Cryo Storage Sensor

Best for: cold storage and freezers

Purpose-built for refrigerated storage and extreme cold environments. Condensation-proof housing with accurate readings down to ultra-low storage temperatures (-198°C).

Leak Detection

Water damage is the leading cause of irreversible collection loss.

Conserv’s leak detection sensors monitor mechanical rooms, storage areas, roof lines, and basements — alerting your team the moment moisture is detected. Detects as little as 0.1mL of water.

Accuracy

Accurate data. Decisions you can stand behind.

Bad data leads to bad decisions. Conserv sensors use highly reliable components that have high accuracy and low drift, meaning you can trust them over the long term.

“I really think the system saved the museum from a major problem.”

Wireless Network

A wireless network built for heritage buildings

Conserv runs on LoRaWAN — a purpose-built wireless protocol with 10x the range of WiFi and no connection to your network. It works in basements, vaults, stone-walled galleries, and historic masonry buildings, without involving your IT department or touching your infrastructure.

Long range — coverage across multiple floors, through masonry, compact storage, and other challenging environments.

Air-gapped — operates separately from your institutional network, making IT approval faster and simpler.

Long battery life — 3+ years in worst case conditions, with no wiring required.

Scalable — hundreds of devices can communicate with a single gateway. The system scales from a single room to an entire campus.

“With just one gateway in there it picked up a signal across four floors really beautifully, which I thought was incredible!”

What’s Next

Data collection is just the beginning.

Every reading from every sensor flows directly into your Conserv dashboard — updated continuously, accessible from anywhere. From there, your team gets scheduled reports, threshold alerts, preservation KPI tracking, and the documentation needed to advocate for your collection.
