The AKCP SensorProbe2 contains all of the software you require and is very simple and quick to set up. It logs your sensor readings and alarms when things go outside parameters you specify using the easy to use web administration system.

All AKCP environment monitors are fully extendable, new probes can be added at any time and multiple units, for instance, a SecurityProbe and SensorProbe2 can be monitored together using third party software.

The SensorProbe2 is supplied without sensors (full range on this page to choose from).

FAQ (13)

Customer Questions

What is the difference between the AKCP sensorProbe and securityProbe ranges?

In very simple terms, the securityProbe range is more feature rich than the sensorProbe range. The sensorProbe range offers a more honed feature set and lacks some of the more advanced alerting options available on the securityProbe range like SMS text...

What is Akcess Pro Server

Akcess Pro server is a software product developed by AKCP to support their environment monitors. The software enables central data logging and alerting of sensorProbe and securityProbe monitors.

Can you confirm does the AKCP sensorProbe2 Environment Monitor with PoE have a built in temperature sensor / included in the box or will we need to purchase a sensor in addition to the sensorprobe2?

No the sensorProbe2 does not include a sensor. You would need to add one or more sensors from the extensive range available.

Do the sensorProbe and securityProbe monitors require calibration?

AKCP temperature and humidity sensors have a quite high accuracy and are calibrated by the supplier of the sensor. In general they do not need much calibration. The user could carry out calibration to verify accuracy. If needed you can adjust using the...

Is it possible to extend AKCP sensors?

AKCP sensors all use RJ45 connectors and can be extended using standard CAT5 cable and one or more inline couplers up to a maximum distance of 100m. Historically, AKCP did recommend extending their sensors using your structured cabling systems. AKCP...

Is it possible to use the sensorProbe2 to shutdown a series of three servers in a small server room?

Not directly or easily. None of the sensorProbe series products support switching off servers directly. It could be possible to send an email to a server and then have a job on the server wait for alert emails and then trigger the shutdown script. The...

What is the measurement range of the AKCP temperature sensor?

The AKCP Temperature Sensor has a temperature range of -55 to +125°C / -67 to +257°F with an accuracy of ±0.5°C from -10 to +75°C.

What is AKCPro Server?

AKCPro Server is a software application written by AKCP for logging and alerting you to environmental problems in your data center. The software is able to integrate all of the wide range of monitoring tools available from AKCP like inline power measurement...

Does the AKCP sensorprobe2 has the feature cut off the electricity by itself when my location has the problem with electricity?

If you want to control the power to a remote device in reponse to a temperature going too high you could connect a Relay Sensor to the SensorProbe and use that to switch the power. If you simply want to alert on the presence or absence of ...

Can the AKCP sensorProbe2 record temperatures for at least 24 hours so we can see how the temperature behaves overnight?

Yes, The sensorProbe2 can send alerts, draw a graph of temperatures and archive data. It is also possible to export data from the unit to produce long term graphs.

Is it feasible to route sensor traffic over the network to a single sensorProbe unit so that I can get a view of all the sites status?

No. Only the securityProbe range is able to read information from remote sensorProbes using the Virtual Probe feature. If you wanted to merge information from a number of different sensorProbe units, you would need to either use a 3rd ...

How do we trigger the A/V alarms based on the alarm condition our system generates?

I assume that you would like to be able to have the siren/strobe light activated by your existing alarm system. If you have a dry contact coming from your alarm system into a port on the sensorProbe, and the siren/strobe from another port on the sensorprobe...

What is encrypted email?

When you send email using regular SMTP servers the email you send is sent plain text over the network. Plain text means that, with proper network sniffiing tools, the email can be read by anybody with access to the network traffic. The internet was ...
