Online Sensor Data Collection — Networked Sensor Data Acquisition

Online sensor data collection is a systematic technique for gathering continuous or event-triggered measurements from physical sensors that transmit readings in real time over a network — the internet, a local wireless network, or a dedicated IoT protocol. It is used widely in environmental monitoring, health informatics, smart-city research, industrial systems, and behavioral science to capture objective, high-frequency data without requiring manual recording by participants or observers.
