$15-25 USD / hour

I am looking to have a beehive monitoring station for my farm. Sensors required: temperature/humidity sensors inside the hive 2 webcams with audio (durable/small and one has to able to be exposed to the weather the other needs to work in low light) audio scale that will weigh the hive to monitor honey production (up to 100kg) I would like to access via cloud so that I can put the info and cam feed on a webpage power options.. battery or solar.. other? open to all design concepts I would also like the option of adding more hives and running it through the same gateway at a later option. optional weather station to compare the weather versus hive temp. it is to be located in Norway, so it must tolerate temperatures to -20c Please describe which technology you feel is best suited for the design (xbee etc..) as well as an approximation of how many hours it will take. Examples of other work is also appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you!

As far the problem is setting up number of environmental monitoring stations in a wireless mesh and central unit connecting to cloud server. Rugged cameras are available, I have rugged data-loggers =, I suggest WiFi because you need more data rate for the webcams. What is the maximum distance between any two hives? Please see my portfolio. Thanks

Hello, I love the idea of this project, and would very much welcome the opportunity in further discussing your needs and how we can effectively collaborate together. I am fascinated by bees, their role in our life and obvious importance in supporting us for our food vegetation source. The past number of years I have read through media the rise of urban beehives, in city environments. I am an internationally experienced industrial design engineer, having essentially worked through Asian design consultancies, yet recently returned home to Sydney Australia. I am now in the process of beginning my own design consultancy, working with international clients, predominantly young inventors and entrepreneurs. The majority of my past and current projects are electronic based devices, including those for the medical, consumer sporting and lifestyle, and toy industries. I am extremely passionate about my industry and brining new product ideas through to prototyping and development. I am very excited about this opportunity that you present, however will admit my abilities my lack in terms of recommending appropriate technology. At this point I would take it upon myself to do additional research in successfully meeting your needs. Please do follow up and I may provide additional details, answer questions and provide visual examples. I can understand the cultural and specifically environmental differences that are experienced in Norway, and the challenges to meet this market. Thank you

Dear Sir, I found your project fascinating. There is something amazing about how bees operate, and I have tremendous respect for people who care for them. So, let me be of service to you. I have three decades of technology experience - Software and Systems, two of those decades in Silicon Valley. On several occasions I ran teams of 5-10 engineers, though never lost interest in individual technical work. I'll be more than happy to provide you with links to my LinkedIn resume, etc. To put it simply, I worked with networks and communications, wired and wireless, for most of my career. Recently I completed a project with industrial cameras and currently am working on designing a high precision scale for healthcare applications. My Physics degree from Berkeley lets me understand technology choices at a deeper level. Your requirements are quite demanding, while I assume you have a down-to-earth budget. So, let me work with you to nail down the requirements and priorities / tradeoffs. Then, I'll propose a solution and a development / deployment plan and you will be able to decide which pieces you'll be doing yourself, contracting in Norway, having me implement, or farm out to other engineers. The rate I bid is about 20% of what I normally charge, but I'm simply finding what you are trying to do exciting. So, this being an hourly arrangement, there is no risk involved. We'll do what's best and free to stop at any time. To make it even easier, first two hours are free. :) Walter
