AKCP securityProbe5ESV-X60

The AKCP securityProbe5ESV-X60 is the flagship model of the AKCP SecurityProbe series. It combines environmental monitoring, security surveillance, access control, and video monitoring into an all-in-one solution for IT, industrial, and facility management applications. With 60 dry contact inputs, support for up to 500 intelligent sensors, and integration of up to four HD cameras, the X60 outperforms all other models. It is specifically designed for data centers, telecom providers, industrial plants, and high-security building environments.

Operating as a fully independent alarm server, it detects and reports events such as unauthorized access, power failures, smoke, water leakage, vibration, or temperature increases in real time. By combining sensor data, dry contact monitoring, and visual verification, administrators can immediately validate alarms and initiate targeted escalations.

With its robust 2U rackmount design and industrial-grade components, the 5ESV-X60 is engineered for 24/7 operation in critical environments. A mean time between failures (MTBF) of 400,000 hours, low power consumption (only 6.15 W), and support for open standards such as SNMPv3, HTTPS, and Modbus TCP/IP make it a future-proof monitoring investment.

Dry Contact Integration – 60 Inputs

A distinctive feature of the 5ESV‑X60 is its 60 dry contact inputs. These allow the integration of external systems such as fire alarm panels, UPS units, access points, HVAC equipment, alarms, or security lighting controls. Each input can be individually configured and linked into custom escalation chains.

Video Monitoring with PTZ

Up to four high‑definition digital cameras can be connected via USB interfaces. The system supports video resolutions up to 640 × 480 pixels and PTZ (Pan‑Tilt‑Zoom) control through Pelco‑D protocol. Live streams and recorded videos can be accessed directly via the web interface. Integrated motion detection automatically records and sends video frames or clips when unauthorized activity is detected (via MMS, email, or FTP alert).
