Room Alert Monitors

The AVTECH Room Alert monitors are highly functional environment monitors with great value for your money. They have the features you'll love and are also absolutely rock solid. From the most economical of the range, the Room Alert 3 Wi-Fi, all the way through to the powerful Room Alert 32W, we think you'll love the convenience and value.

Each Room Alert model has an embedded web server. The web server enables you to carry out configuration and monitoring duties all from your web browser. Managing multiple monitors from the web server can be a repetitive, tedious and error prone. Fortunately, AVTECH have developed three approaches to ease the burden of managing a large estate of monitors.

1. Room Alert Manager - AVTECH have developed a software application called Room Alert Manager that is able to talk to your estate of Room Alert monitors, as well as your estate of Axis cameras, in order to consolidate your data logging and alerting into one screen. Instead of having to configure alerts on each Room Alert monitor individually, you can manage your alerts centrally inside Room Alert Manager. Room Alert Manager runs as a Windows Service on the Microsft Windows operating system and is included with the Professional level RoomAlert.com subscription;
2. RoomAlert.com - you can use AVTECH's RoomAlert.com cloud service to manage your Room Alert estate. All Room Alerts have the ability to send data to RoomAlert.com. The cloud service is then able to log the data, trigger alerts, map sensor status and more. It's the easiest way to get started immediately and monitor from any web enabled device;
3. Simple Network Management Protocol - all Ethernet based units support the SNMP protocol. SNMP has been a network management staple for many years and enables integration with your existing network monitoring tools. Your Room Alert estate becomes just one part in your existing monitoring system so you can leverage your system's existing alerting capabilities.

Sensor Choices

If you wish to monitor something, you have to measure it. Measuring is where sensors come into the picture. Sensors allow your Room Alert monitor to measure various environmental factors like temperature, humidity, power, wetness and air flow among many others.

AVTECH have three different types of sensors. Not all Room Alert monitors have the same or all types of sensor connectors. The Sensor Compatibility Summary table below outlines which sensor is compatible with which Room Alert model.

The Room Alert range of monitors are fitted with built-in sensors. The built-in sensors available in each Room Alert monitor are outlined in the Room Alert Comparison table under the Built-in Sensors section.

Digital

Digital sensors are by far the most popular type of sensors. Digital sensors are also supported by all Room Alert models. Digital sensors provide a reading over a given range. For instance, the standard temperature sensor provides a temperature reading within a measurement range of -55 to 125°C with an accuracy of ± 0.125. The Room Alert can be configured to alert when the value read from the sensor goes above or below a threshold you configure.

Switch

A switch sensor detects one of two states. Either the sensor is in a normal state or an alarm state. A switch sensor does not provide measurements to the Room Alert in the same way as a digital sensor. It is either in a normal state indicating that whatever the sensor is measuring is not in an alert state, or it is in an alert state. The alert state depends upon what the sensor is designed to monitor. In the case of the wetness sensor, the sensor will enter an alert state when the sensor detects flood. In the case of the smoke sensor, the sensor will enter an alert state when a level of smoke is detected that indicates that a fire has started in the vicinity of the sensor.

Analog

An analog sensor provides values as voltages between 0-5VDC. Common analog sensors include current loops and extreme high and low temperature sensors. Not all Room Alert models support analog sensors. Those that do not support analog sensors can still utilise them through the use of the Digital Temperature & Analog connector adapter.

Room Alert Feature Summary

[1] A Light Tower can be connected to the Room Alert 3E, Room Alert 3S, Room Alert 12S & 12SR and Room Alert 32S using a Light Tower Adapter. The Room Alert 12S, 12SR and 32S all have dedicated ports for connecting the Light Tower with Adapter. On the Room Alert 3E and 3S 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, 3S, 12S, 12SR and 32S.

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.

Room Alert Manager

Room Alert Manager is AVTECH's all-in-one software solution for the discovery, management, monitoring, alerting, logging, graphing, automatic action and more of AVTECH's IT & facilities environment monitoring products. Complete with its unique range of features, Room Alert Manager runs as a Windows Service and will continuously and automatically discover Room Alert devices network-wide and display multiple units through a single IP address. Multi-level user access is available through Room Alert Manager’s web interface, accessible from anywhere.

Room Alert Manager allows for unlimited alerting of customizable alert notifications to individuals and groups, hierarchies, dependencies and scheduling. It also allows for Actions on Alert/Alert clear conditions such as toggling Light Tower LEDs, Send Web URL requests and more. All this is possible through a single local software installation, with no rules and no agents.

Ideal for managing multiple deployments or single units, Room Alert Manager also allows users to take automatic actions to resolve issues, automatically log sensor data in an embedded SQL database for one click export, view graphed data over a user-specified amount of time with the ability to toggle between graph and sensor displays, monitor alert status for multiple units, set monitoring thresholds, set multiple IP addresses, securely update firmware and so much more. Users can categorize devices based on their own custom criteria, so users can group devices by type, location, or any other metric that allows for easier device management.
