Species environment measurement system

A method of sending an alert in a vivarium measurement system to signal a disturbance, said method comprises:

• inputting an upper threshold parameter in a data computational device for sound or vibration data captured by a first measurement device,
• inputting an expected disturbance in said data computational device that is for a disturbance period of time and a disturbance threshold parameter greater than said upper threshold parameter,
• initiating a recording of sound or vibration captured by said first measurement device,
• capturing an instance of sound or vibration that exceeds said upper threshold parameter,
• comparing said instance of sound or vibration that exceeds said upper threshold parameter to an expected disturbance in an activity log tracker, and
• sending an alert when said instance of sound or vibration exceeds said upper threshold parameter and when said instance of sound or vibration exceeds said expected disturbance for said disturbance period of time or said disturbance threshold parameter.

A method using a vivarium system to determine whether vibration is coming from outside a vivarium, said vivarium system comprises of:

• a microphone system that comprises of a first microphone in a first room and a second microphone located in a second location;
• an at least one accelerometer in operational relationship to said microphone system;
• a data computational device that inputs data from said microphone system and said at least on accelerometer and wherein said data computational device comprises of a spectrum analyzer;
• an activity log tracker to correspond with said data computational device;
• and
• an at least one alarm system that relays an alert when a threshold parameter is exceeded as determined by said spectrum analyzer,
• and said method comprises the steps of:
• capturing a first accelerometer result of a first accelerometer in said first room when said threshold parameter is exceeded,
• reviewing whether an event disturbance is logged and expected when said first accelerometer result in said first room exceeds said threshold parameter, and
• sending an alter when said first accelerometer result of said first accelerometer in said first room exceeds said threshold parameter and an event disturbance is not expected.
