📊 Activity Monitoring in IoT (General Concept)

Activity monitoring refers to tracking physical actions, environmental changes, or system behavior using interconnected devices.

🔹 Components of an IoT Activity Monitoring System

  1. Sensors – Collect data (motion, temperature, heart rate, etc.)

  2. Connectivity – Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LoRa, 5G

  3. Data Processing – Edge computing or cloud platforms

  4. User Interface – Mobile apps or dashboards

  5. Alerts & Automation – Notifications or automated responses

🔹 Common Use Cases

  • Smart homes (motion detection)

  • Industrial equipment monitoring

  • Fitness tracking

  • Fleet tracking

🔹 Challenges

  • Data security and privacy

  • Power consumption

  • Network reliability

  • Data overload
