securityProbe 5

Expandable, Linux-based environmental monitoring appliances 

with optional 4x video ports, 8x intelligent sensor ports, built-in Modbus and audio support, and optional modem support 

AKCP securityProbe 5 is an advanced remote environmental sensor monitoring appliance that can be deployed in a wide variety of applications including data-center environmental monitoring, warehouse temperature monitoring, cold-storage temperature monitoring, fuel / generator monitoring, and other remote-site monitoring applications.

AKCP securityProbe 5 allows you to monitor the physical environment and receive alerts of any disturbances, such as unauthorized intruders, security breaches, high temperatures, smoke, water leakages, power outages and more.

Compatible with the AKCP range of intelligent sensors, securityProbe 5 provides a complete environmental, access control and security solution for up to 500 connected sensors. Up to 8 of AKCP's intelligent sensors can be directly connected to securityProbe 5. When plugged in, sensors automatically configure themselves and go online. Using either E-sensor8, or E-opto16 expansion modules, up to 500 sensors can be connected to a single unit.

AKCP's easy-to-use web based interface allows you to setup securityProbe 5 within minutes. When online, the sensors use their 4 levels of threshold checking and report any status change.

securityProbe 5 has a Linux operating system running an iMX25 CPU. An additional 2 Gigabytes SD card can be installed to provide greater storage capacity. It is TCP/IP compliant and runs lighttpd web server including https (SSL), Bash, Perl, Telnet, PHP, Email and Nagios.

An internal GSM cellular modem is available as an option for sites with unreliable network connections.

securityProbe 5 has an easy-to use web-based user interface for sensor configuration, data collection and extensive graphing. The web-based interface is written in PHP allowing end-user changes such as language translation.

Complete SNMP functions including SNMP v3 encryption are supported.

securityProbe 5 also supports Modbus Master/Slave, Modbus RTU and Modbus over TCP / IP creating a unique, easy to configure Modbus to SNMP gateway.

Optional 4G internal modems can be installed to send SMS alerts directly from the securityProbe device, or for communicating in sites with no wired network available.

securityProbe 5 has a battery backed time of day clock for accurate record keeping.

securityProbe 5 can be powered via dual AC or DC inputs, providing redundancy for powering the device. The 40-60VDC external power supply features dual DC inputs with a single 9VDC output for powering the securityProbe 5. This is ideal for telecoms applications where DC power comes straight into the cabinets, or in a data center with dual PDUs. Utilize 2x 12VDC power adapters, one on each AC power source, connect them to the DCW075 with the output to the DC jack on the securityProbe 5.

Sensor Graphing
securityProbe 5 integrates and displays graphs of all sensor data in its web-based user interface. The individual graph (day, week, month and year) for each sensor type can be customized, simply by modifying the script template used to generate a particular graph. RRD tool is used to build an embedded database of sensor data.

This data can be accessed from the web interface, or downloaded to a remote PC. MRTG can be used to generate real-time graphs of sensor data on a remote website.

Notifications
Notifications and alarms can be dependent on the states of multiple sensors, and can be configured to escalate in severity over time. The notification system can alert you of a problem via email, SMS messages and telephone calls, (additional hardware required), or send a message to any commercial network monitoring system using SNMP traps. securityProbe 5 can automatically switch a relay on or off, wake-up or shutdown a remote server, send pictures and data via FTP, send a FAX, run your custom script and many more versatile functions.

securityProbe 5 can automatically push out the complete status of the unit and sensors via the Heartbeat Message feature. This can be setup to be sent through e-mail, SMS or SNMP traps. A HTTP get script can also be chosen, allowing the data to be pushed to web servers.

False Message Filter
In order to prevent false alarms, securityProbe 5 allows extensive filtering of events. You can limit events based on the time of day or the day of the week. You can also limit the number of alerts per hour, so that you are not swamped with many messages. This is especially important with the sensor like the motion detector where you may want to process an event only when the business premises are closed.

Centralized Management
If you are deploying multiple AKCP environment monitoring appliances, you can centrally manage them all and monitor their data through AKCPro Server - a best-in-class data center infrastructure management software (DCIM) with a focus on temperature and airflow analysis.

Camera Support
securityProbe 5 models that have video ports can display pictures from four cameras simultaneously in several sizes, up to 640x480 pixels resolution, used in professional surveillance and CCTV monitoring systems. Cameras are directly connected to securityProbe 5 optional four video ports. A built-in pan-tilt controller interface allows complete control of pan and tilt cameras using the industry standard Pelco D bus.

securityProbe 5 also supports IP camera video streams through a connection to self-hosted AKCPro Server (running locally on your server).

Using self-hosted AKCPro Server, images from IP cameras can be synchronized with sensor events (e.g. images captured from an IP camera can be synchronized with a security sensor that's being triggered when a door, or window, opens, providing instant visual feedback on the situation).

securityProbe 5E: Has 4x BNC analog video ports

securityProbe 5ES: Has no video ports

securityProbe 5ESV: Has 4x USB digital video ports

1) Cloud AKCPro Server does not support IP cameras, and does not support Access Control products (Door Control Unit and RFID Swing Handle Locks).
2) If you need to support more than 4 AKCP environmental monitoring appliances, cloud licenses need to be purchased for all supported appliances.
