1. A remote sensing system comprising:
an environmentally secure housing having communication ports for sensors;
at least one sensor coupled to at least one of the communication ports, the at least one sensor monitoring parameters in a vicinity of the housing;
a bracket for supporting the housing, securable to an interior surface of an entry cover in a manner that does not require entire penetration through the entry cover, the bracket providing at least one opening for operation for the at least one sensor;
a microcontroller within the housing coupled to the communication ports;
a two-way communication module coupled to the microcontroller;
a connector cable connected to the two-way communication module which leads to an external antenna for transmitting the parameters to a remote communication device; and
a power means for providing power at least to the microcontroller, sensors, and two-way communication module, wherein parameters received from the at least one sensor is processed by the microcontroller and forwarded to the two-way communication module for transmission.
