Accelerometer for measuring vibrations/swaying/tilt in tall buildings

Good morning,

I’m looking for an accelerometer that can be used to measure vibrations and swaying in tall buildings, and ideally also to measure tilt.

I want to use the accelerometer with a Raspberry PI.

Which accelerometer can you recommend?

Consumer grade accelerometers are noisy, which greatly limits their usefulness in measuring small signals.

I recommend to do an internet search to see whether anyone has successfully used one for an application like yours, and published the results.

Otherwise, consider commercial sensors like these:
