Video surveillance in the data center – Holistic protection with AKCP securityProbe-5E
Data centers are critical to business continuity, and water, fire, or unauthorized access pose major risks. Beyond environmental sensors, server room video surveillance has become an essential part of IT security. The securityProbe-5E IP Alarm Server provides 24/7 monitoring, combining sensor integration with live camera feeds for real-time detection and escalation management.
1. Benefits of Video Surveillance in Data Centers
- 24/7 monitoring of all critical zones
- Immediate alerts for unauthorized access or anomalies
- Reduced costs through preventive protection
- Clear documentation with integrated video and IT alarm plans
- Visual representation of incidents via alarm maps
2. securityProbe-5E IP Alarm Server
Unlike basic webcams, the securityProbe-5E offers a complete monitoring system. Up to 4 cameras can be connected for continuous video recording. The unit integrates video, sensors, and alarm automation for comprehensive data center protection.
3. Camera Integration
Analog cameras, especially the AKCP Pan Tilt Dome model, can be connected. With pan-tilt functionality and web-based control, every rack and corner of the room can be monitored. Pre-configured views ensure quick access to critical areas.
4. Mobile-Access – Remote Viewing
Administrators can access live video and sensor data via smartphones or tablets, ensuring full IT security oversight anytime, anywhere.
5. Video Surveillance & Sensor Integration
Integrated sensor triggers enhance monitoring efficiency: motion or door sensors can activate camera feeds, directing the dome camera toward the triggered location for instant verification.
6. Visual Alarm Maps
The securityProbe system features graphical alarm maps, displaying floor layouts, sensor positions, and camera placements. With one click, users can access the corresponding live view and alarms for immediate analysis.
7. Interactive Alarm Scenarios
- Motion detection → auto-focus of the dome camera on affected zone
- Temperature threshold exceeded → auto-recording and cooling system check
- Leak detection → automatic video archive for insurance proof
8. Added Value
All events are logged, with images and videos stored securely for audits or incident response. The system becomes part of the IT emergency plan, improving reliability and forensic analysis.
With the securityProbe-5E, AKCP provides an integrated platform that combines cameras, sensors, mobile access, and alarm automation. From server room surveillance to data center security escalation management, it offers full protection and continuous video documentation, ideal for IT managers seeking reliable infrastructure safeguards.
