Remote Monitoring of a Pipe Network by Means of Sensors

A system for monitoring a pipe network for a fire protection system, comprising:

• an evaluation unit with a communication device, and
• at least one sensor arranged on or within at least one pipe of a plurality of pipes of the pipe network and in communicative signal connection with the communication device,
• wherein the at least one pipe of the plurality of pipes is assigned to a specific pipe category of a plurality of pipe categories,
• wherein the at least one sensor is configured to collect measurement data which are indicative of changes in a hydraulic condition of the at least one pipe and to transmit these measurement data to the communication device of the evaluation unit, and
• wherein the evaluation unit is configured to evaluate the measurement data based on the assigning of the at least one pipe to the specific pipe category to generate an evaluation data record indicative of the hydraulic condition of the at least one pipe.
