In response to the present situation of ecological environment monitoring lacked of intelligent real-time dynamic monitoring and control in Erhai lake, according to the ground monitoring technology, the monitoring content, monitoring object, type of monitoring and monitoring indicators and other monitoring goals of ecological environment monitoring of Erhai lake are positioned. A ecological environmental monitoring of methods and node design scheme of Erhai lake is proposed. Using the Internet of things, cloud computing, 3G and location services and other new technology, data sensing and processing mode, computing and data transmission, positioning method, the node function module, the hardware and software system is designed in this paper. Through the analysis of the experimental simulation and function test, the results show that the method provides a technique for ecological environment monitoring and protection of Erhai support and solution.
