I think you'll find the products which are sold as inverters (Xantrex for example) which have built in battery chargers will have a quicker recharge time because they are engineered for folks who run a generator for a few hours and then invert off the batteries the rest of the time. Most battery backup units are engineered with the idea that grid power will almost always be available except for a rare occasion so they invest very little in the battery charger which is typically a very slow trickle charger.

I imagine you could rig-up Cacti http://www.cacti.net/with the Threshold Alerting plugins using SNMP enabled product. *Weathergoose - *http://www.itwatchdogs.com/ Internal web server, temp, humidity, air flow, light, sound, attach up to 16 remote sensors. They have other sensors as well. http://www.itwatchdogs.com/products_sensors.shtml I haven't used one my self, but I got that recommendation from a thread on arstechnica. http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/833003030931/m/961001892931 Have Fun. -Israel Marlon K.

Sometimes. We had almost 30 inches for a short time around Christmas... I live at the base of the Blue Mountains. I may have bare ground, but 5 15 miles away will have 10 feet or more.

While nothing is more reliable then a person actually being there, you could look at something IP related. I know there are thermometers used in NOCs to warn techs the temperature is too high, I would expect the opposite being pretty simple.
