AVTECH Room Alert 12S
A mid-range ethernet based temperature and environment monitoring solution with no compromise on features, flexibility, reliability or value.
The Room Alert 12S is AVTECH's mid-range environment monitor in the Room Alert PRO line, offering the highest security features such as HTTPS, TLS and SNMP v3.
Like the Room Alert 12E, this model monitors temperature plus up to 8 more environment conditions of your choice including an analog (0-5VDC) input. It also offers an additional dedicated relay port to toggle low-voltage electrical devices.
When conditions exceed your thresholds, Room Alert notifies you right away so you can act quickly.
- Send email messages from the device.
- Trigger the warning LEDs and siren sound on a Light Tower.
- Pair with RoomAlert.com (or other compatible platforms) for even more alerting capabilities.
The Room Alert 12SR offers secure features like HTTPS, TLS and SNMP v3. Don't need those features? Consider the Room Alert 12E.
The Room Alert 12S can be mounted with a in a 1U rack enclosure using the included rack mount.
As part of AVTECH's Room Alert PRO line, the Room Alert 12S features these secure protocols:
- View the built-in web interface over HTTP or HTTPS.
- Push data to your RoomAlert.com account over HTTPS.
- Send alert notifications from the device over your TLS mail server.
- Integrate the device into your preferred SNMP program over SNMP v3. (SNMP v1 traps and SNMP v2c also available)
- Update your firmware with your authenticated username & password.
AVTECH’s Room Alert 12S/12SR has the features of our flagship Room Alert 32S model on a smaller scale and a lower price. It securely monitors your facility for temperature and has a capacity for up to 8 more sensors. Our standard package includes 1 external Digital Active Power Sensor w/ Temperature to help monitor the power status of critical electronic devices that draw 100W of power or more.
Additional dedicated ports allow you to toggle electrical devices, such as AC units, fans, alarm panels and the warning LEDs/siren sound on a Light Tower.
The 12SR version has a removable rack mount and fits 1U of space in a server cabinet; the 12S version can hang from a ceiling or on a wall from its wall mount. Meant for mid-sized spaces requiring thorough and secure coverage, this unit is at home in server rooms, warehouses and any space requiring eyes on a several different conditions — or on the same condition in several targeted locations.
Use Room Alert 12S on its own or pair it with these powerful platforms.

Digital Sensors Digital sensor ports only support connecting digital sensors. Digital sensors measure within a range of values, like a temperature range. | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 8 | 8 |
Switch Sensors Switch sensor ports only support connecting switch sensors. Switch sensors only measure one of two states, the normal state and the alarm state. Take the smoke sensor as an example, it has a normal state which indicates no significant smoke is present and an alarm state that indicates that a significant amount of smoke is present perhaps indicating a fire. | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 16 | 16 |
Analog Sensors Analog sensors provide values as voltages between 0-5VDC. Common analog sensors include current loops and extreme high and low temperature sensors. The Room Alert 3 WiFi and Room Alert 3E do not support analog sensors, but you can buy the Digital Temperature & Analog Sensor to add support at the cost of one of your digital sensor ports. | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
Light Tower & Relay Ports A port for connecting a Light Tower to your Room Alert. There are two port types. The Room Alert 4E / 4ER has a six terminal port to plug in the AVTECH External Light Tower. The Room Alert 12E, 12ER, 32E and 32W all have RJ11 connectors dedicated to the light tower. But the light tower must be the model with the built-in light tower adapter. The Room Alert 3E also supports the light tower but does not have a dedicated port. You must use one of your digital sensor ports to connect the light tower. | 0 | 0 [1] | 1 | 1 | 1 [1] | 1 [1] | 1 [1] | 1 [1] | 2 [1] | 2 [1] |
Relay Output Ports Two pin port (0.3A@125VAC / 1A@24VDC) for connecting an output relay to your Room Alert. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 |

[1] A Light Tower can be connected to the Room Alert 3E, Room Alert 12E & 12ER, Room Alert 32E and 32W using a Light Tower Adapter. The Room Alert 12E, 12ER, 32E and 32W all have dedicated ports for connecting the Light Tower with Adapter. On the Room Alert 3E you need to use one of the digital sensor ports. You can buy a light tower with integrated light tower adapter for use with the Room Alert 3E, 12E, 12ER, 32E and 32W.
What is RoomAlert.com?
RoomAlert.com is a cloud based service for monitoring Room Alert monitors and newer Axis cameras combined with a download area for device firmware updates and Device ManageR software and plugins. The service has a number of different subscription levels, Lite, Personal, Professional and Enterprise. The level of your subscription dictates what level of access to the RoomAlert.com service you receive. If you require a level of access afforded by a higher level of subscription, you can upgrade your subscription to the higher level at any time.
Device ManageR Software
Device ManageR software is a solution for discovery, management, logging, graphing and alerting of your Room Alert monitoring estate. It runs as a Windows service and automatically discovers AVTECH hardware and Axis IP cameras across your network, allowing users to be informed immediately when environmental thresholds are exceeded or when events occur. Device ManageR has a web browser interface allowing users to view and manage any or all units on your network, graph and log sensor data in real-time or over specified date ranges or send out alerts if an issue arises.
The Device ManageR software also has a number of plugins available like the Window Plug-In Bundle or Unix/Linux Bundle. When used with Device ManageR, they allow shutdown, reboot and/or log off of systems remotely and perform commands or scripted actions when alerts are detected or events occur as well as scheduled reports and data management tasks.
Manage in the cloud with RoomAlert.com
RoomAlert.com gives you worldwide visibility of your environment data, with built-in alerting, logging, reporting and management. You'll no longer need to guess what your data center temperature is, you'll be able to see in real time exactly what the temperature is from any web connected device like your smart phone or tablet. All Room Alert monitors send your data readings straight up to RoomAlert,com where it is stored, logged and, if necessary, triggers an alarm for you.
RoomAlert.com Subscription Levels
Each Room Alert monitor includes a 12 month Personal subscription to RoomAlert.com. You can upgrade your subscription at any time to a higher subscription level. If after your twelve months subscription you do not renew, then your subscription level reverts to the Lite level.
