AKCP sensorProbe1+

The AKCP sensorProbe1+ (SP1+) is the most advanced development of the proven sensorProbe series and was designed for professional use in demanding IT and industrial environments. This compact device provides a powerful monitoring platform that is flexible, secure, and scalable. It enables comprehensive monitoring and active protection of data centers, server rooms, and critical infrastructures.

Companies that rely on a reliable IT environment understand the importance of stable infrastructure. Even the smallest deviations in temperature, humidity, or air quality can have serious consequences. Combined with water leaks, power failures, or unauthorized access, the risk of downtime and damage increases exponentially. With the AKCP SP1+ monitoring system, these risks can be identified and reduced immediately before they cause major problems.

The sensorProbe1+ is characterized by its robust hardware and modern software architecture. With a fast 32-bit ARM processor, generous RAM, and flash memory, the SP1+ allows delay-free processing even under high sensor load. Whether for server room monitoring or complex industrial applications – this system adapts flexibly to requirements.

One major advantage is user-friendliness. The SP1+ features a modern HTML5 web interface, allowing intuitive operation. Administrators can view real-time readings, analyze detailed graphs, create custom dashboards, and configure alert rules – all with ease and without additional software installation. This makes the sensorProbe1+ attractive even for IT teams that need quick results without long training times.

Technical Specifications of the sensorProbe1+

Inside the AKCP sensorProbe1+ works a modern 32-bit ARM STM32H7 microprocessor with up to 460 MHz clock speed. It is accompanied by 1 MB RAM and 64 MB of flash memory, enabling powerful data processing. The compact device dimensions also allow flexible installation in space-limited server rooms or technical areas.

The integrated sensor port is universal and automatically detects AKCP sensors. These include temperature, humidity, smoke, or water leakage sensors as well as door contacts and motion detectors. Thanks to plug-and-play functionality, setup takes only a few minutes. In addition, a dry-contact input is available for use with external alarm systems or switches.

User Interface and Operating Comfort

The web interface of the sensorProbe1+ is entirely developed in HTML5. It convinces with a clean structure and offers numerous functions:

• Real-time monitoring of all connected sensors
• Visualization of readings in interactive charts
• Rack mapping for precise representation inside server cabinets
• Custom dashboards for various users or applications
• Detailed user and access rights management

These functions ensure full transparency and control over the relevant environmental parameters of the infrastructure. With just a few clicks, changes can be analyzed and traced back to causes.

Alarm and Notification System

Alarm management is one of the strengths of the sensorProbe1+. When defined thresholds are exceeded, the system immediately sends notifications. These are delivered through different channels:

• SNMP traps including SNMPv3 support
• Encrypted email notifications via HTTPS
• Acoustic or visual alarms on site
• Integration into central monitoring solutions such as AKCPro Server, Nagios, or PRTG

With user-friendly notification wizards, administrators can create individual alert plans, define escalation paths, and set backup recipients. The system thus acts not only as passive monitoring but becomes an active component of the security architecture.

Virtual Sensors and Expandability

The AKCP SP1+ is not limited to physical inputs. Virtual sensors can also be integrated. Up to five of these virtual sensors are available free of charge. Through interfaces such as SNMP, Modbus, or MQTT, the sensorProbe1+ can query external data sources. This extends monitoring to systems such as air conditioning units, UPS systems, or network devices. In total, the SP1+ supports up to 80 virtual sensors.

Security and Network Functions

Security is a central aspect. The SP1+ is designed for professional operation in enterprise environments. Features include:

• Encryption via HTTPS
• SNMPv3 support
• VPN options for secure site connections
• Advanced user and password management
• Firmware updates via the web interface

Thanks to support for DHCP and static IP addresses, integration is seamless. Power over Ethernet (PoE) further simplifies installation and provides redundant power supply. Optionally, USB power supply can also be used.

Installation and Commissioning

Setup is straightforward: connect the device via network cable, plug in the sensors, and configure via the web interface. Monitoring is ready within minutes. For more complex projects, AKCP provides detailed documentation, training videos, and support.

Fields of Application

• Server room security and data center monitoring
• Monitoring of production systems in industry
• Building automation and facility management
• Environmental monitoring in storage and logistics centers
• Critical infrastructures such as utilities or telecommunications facilities
