In industrial production and daily life, there are many occasions where wireless technology is required, especially in high-risk locations, where no wiring or unattended location can be found. This paper proposes an embedded wireless monitoring system based on GPRS , which uses the ARM processor as the core, collects data and images by the camera and sensor, and transmits the data wirelessly by GPRS network, to realize the purpose of wireless remote monitoring. This paper introduces the overall framework of the system, and the realization of hardware and software are analyzed, and also analyzed the technical principle and protocol, finally realizes that the user can send control commands by the mobile phone terminal, and the commands can be transmitted to the monitoring terminal through the GPRS network. According to the command, the processor carries out the data acquisition and image shooting, and then sends those data back to the user terminal, so as to realize the wireless remote monitoring of data and images.
