In large urban centers, the number of infrastructure assets is very high and their state of conservation can undergo significant changes over time. Periodically inspecting these assets is a fundamental task to avoid financial losses and even accidents involving residents. However, with limited budgets and work teams, carrying out adequate monitoring of these assets is difficult and society often shows dissatisfaction with urban janitorial care. In this context, the objective of this work is to compare the sensor options typically used to automate this monitoring through electronic engineering. To this end, a bibliographical review was carried out of the main techniques currently used and their respective limitations, both in cost and frequency of data acquisition. It was observed that the use of embedded sensors, especially in topologies that allow decentralized collective sensing, obtains better cost-benefit compared to traditional options, indicating a possible way to monitor the urban environment through low-cost sensors.
