Notification and Alarm Types of AKCP Monitoring Hardware

Reliable server room monitoring requires flexible alarm types and communication channels. AKCP sensorProbe and securityProbe provide comprehensive alarm notification solutions that minimize downtime and ensure IT infrastructure protection.

1. Email Alerts

Standard alerts are sent to up to 6 recipients. E-mail notification ensures administrators are informed immediately of HVAC failures, leaks, or power issues.

2. SMS Alerts

With SMS gateways or GSM modules, AKCP devices send direct SMS warnings, notifying teams even when working remotely.

3. SNMP Traps

Seamless integration with Nagios, Zabbix, or PRTG is possible via SNMP traps, embedding events directly into existing NMS dashboards.

4. MMS Notifications

securityProbe units support MMS alerts with snapshots from surveillance cameras, allowing immediate visual verification of incidents.

5. Audiovisual Alerts

External sirens with strobe lights ensure local staff are aware of emergencies, complementing digital alerts.

6. Voice & Phone Alerts

Alerts can be delivered as voice calls or text-to-speech messages. securityProbe also allows automated phone calls with acknowledgment requests.

7. FTP Notifications

Premium systems upload images/video via FTP to NAS or servers for documentation and evidence storage.

8. Event Logging

Events, sensor data, images, and timestamps are stored in the event database for compliance and analysis.

9. Custom Scripts

securityProbe supports Perl, Bash, or PHP scripts, enabling tailored alarm actions such as relay control, server checks, or data analysis.

10. Relay-Controlled Alarms

Relays automate emergency responses: fans activated at high temperature, lights switched on when motion detected.

11. Alarm Filtering & Escalation

Prioritize and route alarms systematically using escalation levels, ensuring efficient alert handling.

12. Windows Pop-Up

Administrators receive pop-up alerts on desktops, ensuring immediate visibility of critical events.

13. GSM Redundancy

GSM-based alerts guarantee continuous notification even during network failures.

14. Picture & Sound Logs

Events are documented with images and sound logs, providing additional security against intrusion or sabotage.

15. Server Status Notifications

Notifications are sent during server startup or shutdown, giving admins total infrastructure awareness.

With extensive alarm features – from email and SMS to SNMP, MMS, voice calls, and relay automation – AKCP sensorProbe and securityProbe deliver industry-leading server room alarm systems that ensure maximum uptime and protection.
