A monitoring system (10) includes at least one sensor (12, 100, 102, 104, 106) configured to monitor at least one of sound, light, temperature, pressure, humidity, biological, anabolic, and anatomic data. The sensor (12, 100, 102, 104, 106) is connected to a controller (14) configured to control operation of the sensor (12, 100, 102, 104, 106) such that the sensor (12, 100, 102, 104, 106) is trainable to alert conditions and events. Preferably, the sensor (12, 100, 102, 104, 106) and controller (14) are interconnected to a plurality of sensors (12, 100, 102, 104, 106) so that a number of values associated with the data of interest are acquirable. Preferably, the acquired data is stored and categorized to enhance the operability and functionality of the sensor (12, 100, 102, 104, 106). |
