AKCP SensorProbe2+

Ensuring stable IT infrastructures is more crucial than ever to guarantee the availability of applications, services, and production processes. Modern data centers, telecom systems, and industrial facilities all face the challenge of safeguarding critical systems against downtime. The AKCP SensorProbe2+ provides a scalable monitoring solution that appeals to administrators and facility managers alike. It combines compact design, robust monitoring hardware, and a set of future-proof features.

The SP2+ series is designed to cover a wide range of installations: from a single server rack to complex distributed infrastructures. With flexible integration of physical and virtual sensors, SNMP monitoring support, Modbus integration, PoE monitoring, and redundant power options, it meets the standard requirements of modern enterprise environments.

Functionality and Architecture

At the core of the AKCP SensorProbe2+ is its modular architecture. By default, the unit has two sensor ports, expandable to four with the Pro license. This ensures both entry-level server room monitoring and complex data center projects are supported.

AutoSense technology detects connected sensors automatically and configures them instantly, greatly reducing installation time. Plug-and-play functionality is crucial when quickly responding to growing requirements or implementing new monitoring strategies.

Scalability: Basic and Pro

The SensorProbe2+ is available in Basic and Pro versions. The Basic edition is ideal for smaller environments, focusing on essential environmental monitoring. It provides a reliable entry-level platform without complex integration overhead.

The Pro version unlocks advanced functionality, including HTTPS, TLS, SNMPv3, Modbus integration for UPS, generators, or HVAC units, as well as VPN tunneling and RADIUS authentication. Five virtual sensors are included, expandable up to 80. This transforms the SensorProbe2+ from a conventional monitoring tool into a core component of any IoT monitoring setup.

Connectivity and Networking

In modern IT landscapes, seamless integration into existing structures is vital. The SensorProbe2+ achieves this through multi-protocol support: SNMP, Modbus TCP/IP, and MQTT/MQTTS.

Its IoT capability allows monitoring data to be stored locally or transmitted to cloud and edge platforms. This makes it effective for predictive maintenance and highly automated operational environments.

Redundancy and Reliability

Power availability is critical in infrastructure monitoring. The SensorProbe2+ supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), delivering both energy and data through a single cable – ideal for tight spaces and remote racks. Optional redundant AC/DC power supply ensures continuous monitoring, even during failures, especially when combined with redundant PDUs.

Virtual Sensors and Advanced Monitoring

One of its strongest features is the inclusion of virtual sensors. These can calculate derived values such as dew point, heat index, or air quality, while supporting logical rules like triggering alarms only when multiple parameters reach critical thresholds. This makes alarm management smarter and more effective, especially in complex deployments.

IoT Integration

With MQTT support, the SensorProbe2+ integrates directly into IoT platforms. This ensures future compatibility as more enterprises move toward hybrid infrastructures. For facility management and industrial applications, central data analysis enables faster identification of trends and anomalies.

Application Scenarios

• Server room monitoring: temperature, airflow, humidity, access
• Data center monitoring: manage hundreds of sensor readings, trigger alarms
• Telecom: safeguarding network infrastructures, optional GSM/LTE support
• Industrial monitoring: integration into SCADA, power systems, or HVAC
• Facility management: integration into building automation systems

Design and Durability

Its industrial-grade hardware design makes the SensorProbe2+ suitable for demanding environments. Built with high-quality SMD components and extensive temperature/humidity tolerance, it delivers reliable performance in continuous operations.

Advantages of the AKCP SensorProbe2+

• Compact yet scalable monitoring hardware
• Easy setup with AutoSense and plug-and-play sensors
• Basic and Pro versions fitting any environment
• Supports SNMPv3, HTTPS, VPN, and Modbus
• Virtual sensors for calculated values and advanced rules
• PoE monitoring plus redundant power supply
• IoT-ready with MQTT, IPv6, and cloud integrations
• Powerful alarm management with escalation and notifications

The AKCP SensorProbe2+ is a future-proof platform for reliable IT infrastructure monitoring. Its modular flexibility ensures it remains scalable and adaptable, making it a crucial building block of modern infrastructure protection strategies.

What are the differences between Basic and Pro?

The Basic version includes 2 active sensor ports and supports standard protocols such as HTTPS and SNMPv1/v2c. The Pro version unlocks all 4 ports, adds support for IPv6, SNMPv3, RADIUS, VPN, and Modbus, and comes with 5 virtual sensors included.

How does water leak detection work?

Using special AKCP leak detection sensors, the SensorProbe2+ can detect even the smallest amounts of escaping water. Notifications are sent immediately via e-mail, SNMP traps, or optionally by SMS or phone call through the cellular modem.

What is the role of the Pro license?

The Pro license significantly expands functionality, turning the device into an enterprise-grade solution. In addition to unlocking more sensor ports, it enables advanced network protocols, integration into security policies (e.g., RADIUS), and support for modern cloud/IoT connections.
