Remote monitoring is now easier and more affordable than ever before. CabinPulse has
introduced a Wi-Fi-free solution to provide you with peace of mind that your valuable
property will remain safe, even if you’re thousands of kilometres away.
There are a lot of places in rural Canada that do not have access to landline internet
and have no or very few options for Wi-Fi as a result. The cellular connection
technology built into every CabinPulse device ensures remote monitoring becomes
available to those who need it most.
CabinPulse is proudly Canadian and based out of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Like
everyone else who lives in the beautiful Northern country, the founders noticed the
extreme lack of coverage and wondered why no one else had made a product like this
sooner. That’s when they decided to do something about it.
Only one question remains: Is it worth the hype? Let’s find out.
Who Is CabinPulse For?
CabinPulse is targeted toward anyone with property that needs to be remotely
monitored for various hazards. Extreme temperatures, high humidity, power outages,
and poor air quality can all have catastrophic effects. CabinPulse accurately monitors
each of these in real time, so you will know immediately when to take action.
Cabin or cottage owners are a huge part of the customer base due to their often-isolated locations.
It can be extremely difficult or expensive to get a Wi-Fi connection in the middle of the
woods, especially in the Canadian wilderness. Cellular connectivity provides an option
to those who previously had to go without, either due to a lack of infrastructure or
excessive monthly costs.
Computer server rooms are also especially sensitive to humidity, so accurate monitoring is
crucial to the longevity of your equipment. Vacation homes, even if not located in the
middle of nowhere, are subject to the same dangers as a secluded cabin. The ability to
keep an eye on them from afar is priceless.
The good folks at CabinPulse are pet lovers, so they have you covered there as well.
RVs are something many might not consider when thinking about remote monitoring.
Pets are often brought along for the ride on long trips in the RV, and their well-being is
of utmost importance. No more worrying while grabbing dinner or doing some
sightseeing, while your fur baby stays behind to relax.
CabinPulse Features
CabinPulse is jam-packed with features already, and it’s planning to add even more. It
has pretty much everything you can expect from an all-in-one remote monitoring device.
Power Outage Alerts
Power outages can be devastating for many reasons and will negatively affect just
about any type of property. Business computer systems shutting down and frozen pipes
are just two scenarios that have enormous financial implications.
CabinPulse provides instant notification as soon as a power outage occurs. The device
comes equipped with a battery backup for uninterrupted monitoring for up to three days
during prolonged outages.
Temperature Monitoring
Extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, can cause tremendous damage. The cold can
be especially devastating during Canadian winters. CabinPulse offers the ability to set
your high and low temperature thresholds, and any time it strays outside of your
predetermined range, it will send you an immediate notification.
Humidity Monitoring
Just like extreme temperatures, excess humidity can cause a lot of headaches and
some astronomically high repair costs. The measurements are highly accurate, and the
device will send you a notification when conditions are likely to promote mould growth.
You can also set your own thresholds to be notified when your limit has been crossed.
Air Quality Monitoring
CabinPulse monitors your property for any invisible dangers lurking in the air. VOCs, or
chemical pollutants, can be virtually indetectable without the use of sophisticated
technology. It can also be very dangerous or even deadly to you, your family, or your
pets. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.
Convenient Online Dashboard
This is your central hub for everything that your CabinPulse is monitoring. The
dashboard gives you a continuous, direct connection to your CabinPulse device. It
allows you to easily set up and change your notification thresholds, as well as request
real-time updates of all current readings.
Fleet View
If you have multiple properties that require remote monitoring, you can keep track of
them all in one place with Fleet View. You can view the current status of all properties
on a single screen. It lets you give each property a nickname, so you’ll never get them
mixed up.
How to Use CabinPulse
CabinPulse was designed with ease-of-use in mind. The goal is to make remote
monitoring accessible for everyone. It only requires a standard electrical outlet, and
after you plug it in, visit the dashboard online and enter your login details that were
provided when you purchased the device. That’s all it takes to get connected. Change
your thresholds or request real-time updates directly from the dashboard.
CabinPulse Price
CabinPulse outshines its competition in extraordinary fashion when it comes to cost.
The device itself is $199 CAD (about $145 USD), which is a very competitive price.
Where CabinPulse really shines is the monthly subscription cost.
A subscription to CabinPulse is as low as $10 CAD per month (about $7 USD), which is
a fraction of the cost associated with Wi-Fi-connected monitoring devices. A basic Wi-Fi
connection alone can cost 10 times that amount, and maybe even more if you must rely
on satellite internet.
After only about two months, CabinPulse pays for itself with the savings you’ll get from
avoiding an internet bill. CabinPulse devices connect to all major carriers in Canada, the
USA, and Mexico automatically, with no extra setup required.
Final Thoughts
With more people than ever discovering the joys of travelling, the serenity of a
wilderness getaway, or the thrills of owning their own business, remote monitoring is
more important than ever. The technology has taken a long time to catch up to market
demands, but it looks like someone finally stepped up.
CabinPulse is great at what it does, and it’s only going to keep getting better. Door
sensors, motion detectors, and leak sensors are just a few of the add-ons they have in
the pipeline and don’t seem to be too far off. When those drop, none of the competition
will be close to CabinPulse in affordability and functionality. Highly recommended.
