AKCP securityProbe5ESVA-X60

The AKCP securityProbe5ESVA-X60 is the most powerful monitoring and alarm server solution within AKCP’s SecurityProbe series. With 60 dry contact inputs, support for up to 500 intelligent sensors, and integrated video surveillance, it provides a comprehensive platform for organizations that require reliable protection of their critical IT and industrial infrastructures. It is ideal for data centers, telecommunications sites, industrial plants, and high-security building management applications.

The X60 version builds upon the versatile SecurityProbe5ESVA and adds a large number of dry contact interfaces, allowing easy integration of external systems such as fire alarms, access sensors, emergency buttons, power indicators, motion detectors, or water leak detectors. The 5ESVA-X60 serves as a central platform uniting physical and digital monitoring systems into one cohesive solution.

In addition to classic sensor integration, the system offers full video surveillance functionality. Up to four cameras can be connected and monitored live through the web interface, with full PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) control for precise visual confirmation of all alarm events.
