Abstract

The present invention relates to a utility meter data recording system. The system comprises a sensor unit which is arranged to attach to a utility meter in retrofit and non-invasive fashion. The sensor unit comprises a magnetic sensor unit and a first processing unit. A receiver unit is further provided which comprises a second processing unit for processing data from the sensing unit. The receiver unit also comprises a transmitting unit for transmitting data to a remote location across a public or private communication network. This provides significant benefits in that a reduced volume of data may be transferred whilst data is processed locally at the sensing unit allowing significant data processing savings.
