AKCP securityProbe5ESV

The AKCP securityProbe5ESV is one of the most advanced monitoring and alarm server systems offered by AKCess Pro. It combines comprehensive environmental monitoring, security supervision, access control, and video surveillance in a compact 2U rackmount device. The 5ESV is designed for organizations needing to safeguard critical infrastructure such as server rooms, data centers, telecom facilities, or industrial environments against physical and environmental threats.

At the heart of the system lies its integration of intelligent sensors (up to 500) along with support for up to four HD cameras simultaneously. This sets the 5ESV apart from other SecurityProbe versions: administrators gain not only environmental data (temperature, humidity, leakage, smoke, etc.) but also visual confirmation of alarms via video streams—an essential advantage for false alarm filtering and faster response.

The securityProbe5ESV operates as a fully independent alarm server. It is TCP/IP compliant and supports SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 (encrypted), as well as Modbus TCP/IP, RTU, and Master/Slave protocols for integration with industrial systems. With its combination of video integration, extensive sensor capacity, and open communication interfaces, the 5ESV is among the most versatile solutions for network, rack, and facility management monitoring.

• 2U rackmount design, dimensions: 18″ × 5″ × 3.45″, weight: 3.1 kg
• 8 RJ‑45 sensor ports, 2 RJ‑45 expansion ports
• 4 USB ports for digital camera connections
• Audio in/out, internal microphone and speaker
• Power consumption: approx. 6.15 W
• MTBF: over 400,000 hours

Sensor Integration and Scalability

Up to eight AKCP sensors can be directly connected through AutoSense ports. With expansion modules such as E‑Sensor8 or E‑Opto16, the system scales to a capacity of 500 sensors. The following parameters can be reliably monitored:

• Temperature (including thermocouples for extreme ranges)
• Digital humidity sensors
• Smoke and fire detectors
• Water detection using locatable sensor cables
• PIR motion, glass‑break, and vibration sensors
• Power monitoring (AC/DC)
• Door and rack access contacts

Video Surveillance with PTZ Support

A key feature of the 5ESV is its direct integration of up to four USB cameras. These provide live video feeds with resolutions ranging from 320 × 240 to 640 × 480 pixels and are displayed via the built‑in web interface. PTZ (Pan‑Tilt‑Zoom) cameras can be controlled through Pelco‑D communication protocols and dedicated controllers. This enables administrators to visually monitor critical areas such as racks or entry zones and respond instantly to alarms.

Video surveillance complements sensor data by providing visual verification of events. Alarms such as smoke, leakage, or unauthorized entry can be instantly confirmed via live video, reducing false alarms and accelerating decision making.

Data Logging and Visualization

The integrated RRDTool engine stores sensor data long term and presents it in customizable graphical formats.

• Hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly reports
• Long‑term analysis of temperature and power trends
• Export to external tools such as MRTG or Cacti
• Centralized database support for capacity planning and predictive maintenance

Alarm Management and Escalation Chains

The 5ESV supports real‑time multi‑channel notification management:

• Encrypted email notifications
• SMS/MMS (alerts via GSM/3G/4G modem)
• Voice calls (optional hardware support)
• SNMP traps to NMS systems
• Fax and FTP uploads

Flexible escalation logic allows stepwise alerting—e.g., an email alert can escalate to SMS and then a phone call if unacknowledged within a defined time frame. Automated actions can be configured to execute scripts, switch relays, shut down servers, or upload status files via FTP.

Built‑in false alarm filtering reduces unnecessary alerts through time‑based rules, frequency limits, or weekday‑specific activation. For example, motion sensors trigger only outside regular working hours.

Audio Integration

In addition to sensors and video, the 5ESV offers audio monitoring features. An internal microphone and speaker, as well as external audio inputs and outputs, enable acoustic surveillance and voice alert broadcasting.

Application Areas

• Data centers: climate control, access security, leak and smoke detection, power monitoring
• Industrial facilities: integration with SCADA systems via Modbus
• Facility management: automation with access control, motion and alarm systems
• Telecommunications: remote monitoring via GSM or LTE modem
• Server rooms: early warning for overheating, smoke, and unauthorized access
