AKCess Pro has been leading the field for over 30 years in Environmental Monitoring Systems.
- Introduction
- securityProbe Series
- Enhancements
- AKCess Pro Server
Today your computer room or server room is a critical part of your business infrastructure and as such you need to be secure in the knowledge that it always remains operational. It is vital that all your sensitive equipment is monitored and controlled and AKCess Pro has been leading the field in for over 30 years in environmental control systems.
Integrating AKCess Pro
AKCess Pro provides the backbone component for monitoring and controlling your computer room environment. All AKCess Pro environmental monitoring units are easy to install with easy to follow wizards to help you along the way. AKCess Pro gives you great flexibility with a range of devices and applications that can be integrated with your existing control System or used as a standalone solution.
SecurityProbe 5E
The backbone to any security system is the AKCess Pro securityProbe 5E used either as a standalone security and environmental monitoring system or in conjunction with the AKCess Pro AKCess Pro Server application.
- Environmental intelligent sensors
- Monitor anything: temperature, humidity,
water leaks.
- Access Control integration with AKCess Pro Server Application
- Monitoring and alerts on all activities
- Switching other devices on or off using
dry contacts
- Video Recording and Storage
- All devices link seamlessly to all manner of
control devices
The securityProbe Series
The backbone to any monitoring system is the AKCess Pro securityProbe 5E used either as a standalone environmental monitoring system or in conjunction with the AKCess Pro Server Application.
Control all aspects of your computer room environment with AKCess Pro Intelligent Sensors
The securityProbe 5E works with every intelligent sensor in the AKCess Pro family. Connect up to 8 of our autoSense sensors in any combination to monitor:
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Water leakage
- Airflow
- Security
- Detection of AC Power Line Voltage
- Measurement of Digital Voltmeter
- Control Relays
The AKCess Pro range of sensors also includes an integrated data collection and graphing package; especially useful in trend and information analysis.
Take action when something happens with Sensor Notification Wizards
When an event occurs, the securityProbe 5E can send:
- SNMP traps
- Email
- SMS
- MMS
- Make a telephone call
- Make audio alert.
These alert messages are customizable and can include a picture of the event. Besides notification alerts, events information including pictures are stored in a non-volatile flash memory.
False Message Filter
In order to prevent false alarms, the securityProbe 5E allows extensive filtering of events. You can limit events based on the time of day or the day of the week. You can also limit the number of alerts per hour, so that you are not swamped with many messages. This is especially important with the sensor like the motion detector where you may want to process an event only when the business premises are closed.
Automatically Shutdown your Equipment in an Emergency
AKCess Pro's Linux devices will automatically send a shutdown message to your Linux or Windows based servers – so if there is a power outage, for example, you can rest assured that your servers will be safely and automatically shut down before your UPS runs out.
For added security and peace of mind the securityProbe 5E lets you add up to 4 cameras for video surveillance purposes so even if you cannot be there you can see what is happening.
Sensors and cameras are integrated allowing the easy review of pictures with such items as door openings, motion detection, loud noises and environmental factors. This allows for the pictures of interest to be easily reviewed using high level tools.
AKCess Pro provides the backbone to monitoring and controlling your Computer Room Environment but for a total solution AKCess Pro can supply a large range of intelligent sensors to help you. And, what's great is that all these enhancements link seamlessly with AKCess Pro devices and applications.
Depending on your requirements AKCess Pro can supply an appropriate sensor for specific environments: Temperature and Humidity Sensors
Temperature Sensor
Designed to record accurate temperature data it is ideal for giving advanced warning of temperature fluctuations that can potentially damage sensitive equipment. This advance notification can protect your data and systems from catastrophic events.
Temperature Sensor (Water resistant)
Designed for outdoor use or indoor areas subject to water or moisture. Records accurate temperature data it is ideal for giving advanced warning of temperature fluctuations.
Temperature Sensor (daisy chain)
Have up to 8 temperature sensors on one port connected in one chain to a range of up to 500ft total length.
Temperature Sensor combined with Humidity Sensor
Dual sensor, two sensors on one port for temperature and humidity keeping you up to speed on the current conditions. Combining temperature and humidity into the one sensor also frees up an additional intelligent sensor port on your base unit.
Temperature Sensor combined with Humidity Sensor (Water resistant)
Water resistant dual sensor for damp environments where both temperature and humidity need to be measured.
Thermocouple sensor & Adapters
The Thermocouple sensor is designed for measuring temperatures in dangerous or harsh environments in heavy industries such as petrochemical and metal processing.
Water Leak Sensors
spotWater Detector
An advanced microprocessor based design capable of detecting distilled water.
ropeWaterAcid sensor
Capable of detecting any water and is designed to detect the presence of water and acid in large areas by using a customizable length rope,
water ingress can be detected anywhere along its length.
locateWater Sensor
Similar to the ropeWater Sensor this is a rope type water sensor but designed for detecting water at a specific location along its length.
Other sensors
Airflow Sensor
The AKCess Pro Airflow Sensor is designed for systems that generate heat in the course of their operation and a steady flow of air is necessary to dissipate this heat generated. System reliability and safety could be jeopardized if this cooling airflow stops.
IO-Digital8 sensor relay
Link the securityProbe device or AKCess Pro Server application to multiple dry contacts using the IO-digtial8 sensor relay enabling alarm systems
and door locks to be controlled (under 5 volts) as well as heating and other environmental systems according to any pre-defined parameters.
Sensor Controlled Relay
As an alternative to the IO-digital8 use the DC Sensor Controlled Relay where 24 or 48 volts are required to switch devices on or off.
Security
Enhance your environmental monitoring with security using video surveillance with the AKCess Pro Universal Mount Camera linked to the securityProbe 5E or AKCess Pro Server application
Universal Mount Digital Camera
Link all your access points to video surveillance using the AKCess Pro Universal Mount Digital Camera linked to the securityProbe device or AKCess Pro Server application to either record continuously or when triggered by any pre-defined action.
