AKCP securityProbe5ESV-X20 – Premium monitoring platform with video integration
AKCP securityProbe5ESV-X20
The AKCP securityProbe5ESV-X20 is an advanced modular monitoring solution for server rooms, data centers, and industrial sites. It combines intelligent sensor integration, 20 opto-isolated dry contacts, and optional video surveillance support, making it a comprehensive platform for enterprises requiring reliable and future-proof IT and facility monitoring.
Sensor Integration and Modularity
The base unit includes eight RJ45 ports for AKCP sensors. Typical use cases are:
- Temperature & humidity sensors for precise climate control
- Airflow sensors for rack cooling monitoring
- Thermal map sensors for rack hotspot analysis
- AC/DC power sensors for energy and load supervision
- Smoke detectors for early fire detection
- RFID swing handle locks for rack access security
With E-Sensor8 or E-opto16 modules, the system scales up to 500 sensors for enterprise-wide usage.
20 Dry Contacts for External Systems
A key feature of the 5ESV-X20 is the integration of 20 opto-isolated dry contacts, configurable as inputs or outputs. Applications include:
- Fire alarm system integration
- External HVAC connections
- UPS and generator monitoring
- Motion sensors, door contacts, or security loops
- Relay, lighting, and alarm device control
This merges IT monitoring and facility management into one centralized solution.
Video Surveillance Integration
The 5ESV-X20 supports up to four USB cameras, providing not only sensor-triggered alarms but also live visual verification. Video motion detection further enhances event monitoring, linking recordings directly to alarm events.
Enterprise-Level Alarm Management
The system features comprehensive alarm handling, supporting:
- SNMP traps for Nagios, PRTG, SolarWinds, Check_MK
- Email alerts via SMTP/SMTPS
- SMS or voice alerts through GSM/LTE modules
- HTTPS push, MQTT/MQTTS, Syslog for IoT and central integration
Escalation plans and automations ensure SLA compliance and consistent security handling.
Technical Platform
Powered by embedded Linux with i.MX25 ARM processor, the platform includes:
- 128 MB NAND flash, SD slot up to 16 GB
- 8 RJ45 sensor ports expandable to 500
- 20 dry contacts for facility integration
- SNMP v1/v2/v3, Modbus TCP/RTU, MQTT/MQTTS, HTTPS
- Video support with motion detection
- VPN-ready with IPv6 compatibility
Data Visualization
Integrated RRDtool provides graphical data visualization for temperature, humidity, energy, and security trends, allowing predictive analysis and reporting.
Scalability
Through expansion modules and RS485, installations can extend up to 300 meters, making the 5ESV-X20 ideal for distributed IT or industrial environments.
Application Areas
- Server room monitoring – climate, power, security
- Data centers – centralized control of hundreds of sensors
- Facility management – seamless building integration
- Industrial monitoring – process and energy supervision
- Telecom and edge sites – secure GSM/VPN-based remote access
Conclusion
The AKCP securityProbe5ESV-X20 is a complete solution that combines environmental monitoring, dry contact integration, video verification, and advanced alarm management. Scalable, secure, and versatile, it is the future-ready choice for modern data centers and industrial operators.
