AKCP securityProbe-5ES – Modular monitoring for IT and industrial environments
AKCP securityProbe-5ES
The AKCP securityProbe-5ES is a powerful modular monitoring platform designed for server room monitoring, data center supervision, and critical industrial environments. Whether in banks, government agencies, telecom, or cloud infrastructures, the securityProbe-5ES provides maximum reliability and integration flexibility for complex IT systems.
Extensive Monitoring Functions
Equipped with eight RJ45 sensor ports, it supports a wide range of AKCP smart sensors, including:
- Temperature and humidity sensors for precise climate monitoring
- Airflow sensors for cooling optimization
- Thermal map sensors for 3D rack hotspot analysis
- Smoke sensors for early fire detection
- AC/DC power sensors for energy monitoring
- RFID swing handle locks for physical rack access control
With optional E-Sensor8 modules, up to 500 sensors can be deployed, covering even large-scale and distributed data centers.
Dry Contact Integration
The integrated dry contacts connect seamlessly to building and security systems. Use cases include:
- Integration with fire alarm systems
- UPS or generator connection
- Door contacts, glass break sensors, motion detectors
- Relay outputs for automated external control
This transforms the securityProbe-5ES into a complete infrastructure and facility management solution.
Alarm Management and Escalation Plans
Flexible alarm management allows rules and escalation chains to be customized. Supported methods include:
- SNMP traps for Nagios, PRTG, SolarWinds, Check_MK
- Email notifications via SMTP/SMTPS
- SMS alerts via GSM/LTE modems
- Phone and voice call alerts with acknowledgment
Escalation plans cover different users, times, or SLAs, making the unit part of an active security architecture.
Technical Platform
Powered by a Linux OS and i.MX25 processor, the securityProbe-5ES is equipped with 128 MB NAND flash, SD card slot (up to 16 GB), and supports:
- SNMP v1/v2/v3 with full MIB integration
- HTTPS and SSL for secure access
- MQTT/MQTTS and IPv6 for IoT/Cloud integration
- Modbus RTU/TCP for industrial monitoring
This makes the device highly versatile for IT, facility, and industrial environments.
Scalability and Modular Expansion
Expansion modules extend sensor capacity to 500. GSM/4G modules provide remote site connectivity. This modular flexibility ensures scalability from small rooms to large, distributed data centers.
Application Areas
- Server room monitoring – climate, power, and security
- Data center monitoring – central control of hundreds of sensors
- Facility management – fire alarms, access systems, energy tracking
- Industrial sites – machine room and process monitoring
- Telecom facilities – secure remote supervision with VPN/GSM
Conclusion
The AKCP securityProbe-5ES is a scalable and reliable monitoring platform for IT infrastructures, physical security, and facility management. With strong sensor support, open protocols, and expansion options, it ensures stability, compliance, and security in modern IT environments.
