About

DataGarrison

Features
Read full description

The DataGarrison App allows users to communicate over Bluetooth with stations in the field. Station status, sensor values, and onboard cameras can be queried. The App can also change the data logging, photo logging, and server syncing intervals. Up to ten cameras and dozens of sensors can be added or removed. An Advanced page is available to update station firmware or troubleshoot sensors via raw ModBus, SDI-12, or modem AT commands. This App is compatible with all DataGarrison Stations (satellite and cellular) sold after August 7, 2023, or with earlier stations with the latest firmware and Bluetooth module. If you are not sure if your station is compatible, you can confirm it by locating the small bluetooth module in the lower-left corner of the station's main circuit board (and to the left of the battery connector). Older stations without the latest Bluetooth module have nothing at this location.
