AKCP securityProbe5ESVA-X60 – Maximum security with 60 dry contacts and video integration
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.

Sensor Integration and Expandability
The securityProbe5ESVA-X60 supports the full range of intelligent AKCP sensors with AutoSense technology for plug-and-play detection. Typical applications include:
- Temperature measurement via digital and thermocouple sensors
- Humidity sensors (including waterproof variants)
- Airflow and differential pressure sensors
- Smoke and fire detectors
- Water leak detection with locatable sensor cables
- PIR motion, vibration, glass-break, and door contacts
- AC/DC current sensors for power and load monitoring
Using expansion modules such as E‑Sensor8 or E‑Opto16, the number of sensor ports can be increased up to 500. Daisy chaining supports cable lengths of up to 300 meters, making it ideal for large data center or industrial environments.
Dry Contact Integration
The system’s 60 dry contact interfaces are its defining feature. These can operate as opto-isolated inputs at up to 40 V DC, ensuring safety and reliability even in high‑voltage or industrial environments. Typical applications include:
- Connection of external fire detection systems
- Integration of UPS units and backup generators
- Access control and door contacts
- Control circuits for HVAC or safety lighting
- Alarm buttons and security switches
Network and Protocols
- SNMP v1, v2c, v3 (encrypted)
- Modbus TCP/IP (Gateway Master/Slave, RTU)
- HTTPS (SSL) for secure web access and configuration
- PHP, Perl, Bash, and Telnet for custom scripting and automation
- Email and FTP connectivity for external reporting
- Optional GSM/3G/4G modules for mobile alarm notifications
Alarm Management and Escalation
The securityProbe5ESVA‑X60 features a comprehensive alarm and notification system. Administrators can define custom escalation plans, for example:
- Level 1: Email notification
- Level 2: SMS/MMS via modem
- Level 3: Voice call or fax
- Parallel alerts: SNMP traps or FTP uploads
Automated actions such as relay switching, server restart/shutdown, or custom scripts can also be implemented. Built‑in false alarm filtering reduces redundant messages via time scheduling and rate limiting per hour, optimizing alert relevance.
Video Surveillance and CCTV Integration
Up to four BNC cameras can be connected, with PTZ (Pelco‑D) compatibility for dynamic angle adjustments. Live streams are displayed directly in the web interface, with recordings and video event logging available for documentation and analysis purposes.
Data Visualization and Analysis
The integrated RRDTool engine provides detailed trend and performance analytics.
- Hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly graphs
- Analysis of temperature, humidity, and power trends
- Data export to MRTG or Cacti systems
- Long‑term data storage on internal or SD memory
Audio Integration
Equipped with an internal microphone and speaker, as well as external audio input/output ports, the X60 supports audio surveillance and voice alerts as part of comprehensive security monitoring.
Application Scenarios
- Data center monitoring: racks, HVAC systems, access control
- Industrial facilities: production lines, power management, fire protection
