sensorProbe8Linux-X60
The ultimate monitoring system solution!
The sensorProbe8Linux-X60 is the next generation dry contact device from AKCP. The sensorProbe8Linux-X60 is based on Linux Operation System technology with an advanced 60 dry contact inputs. It comes in a 2U rackmount box. The sensorProbe8Linux-X60 gives you complete of your enterprise infrastructure security.
Many different types of equipment and devices use dry contact outputs to send alarm signals to remote panels, remote monitoring systems, and building management systems. Communicating the status of these dry contact systems is important in a complex Enterprise network, or automation industry to protect the mission critical installations of expensive equipment.
Architecture
At the core of the sensorProbe8Linux-X60 is the sensorProbe8Linux, which is then married with the 60 dry contact system. This offers support for remote monitoring and management of various external devices. This integrated system enables connection and monitoring of devices like HVAC systems, Security Equipment, UPS, Generators, Industrial Equipment etc. The sensorProbe8Linux-X60 embedded web server makes the addition of these devices easy.
The sensorProbe8Linux-X60 comes with 8 full autoSense RJ45 ports for connecting any of our intelligent sensors. An additional 60, 2 wire dry contact ports are provided giving a total of up to 68 dry contact ports. The specially designed 2 wire dry contact ports are easy to use and allow you to make your own dry contact cables quickly and easily.
The sensorProbe8Linux-X60 is a completely embedded host and comes with Linux Operating System. It is equipped with a TCP/IP stack, internal web Server, e-mail, SMS and Full SNMP functionality. The sensorProbe8Linux-X60 is virtually a ‘plug n play’ device and is extremely easy to use and maintain. The installation process is also simple and does not need additional power supply or batteries when new optional sensors are added.
Embedded Linux System
The sensorProbe8Linux-X60 is based on a 32-bit ARM processor. It includes 64 Megabytes of SDRAM and 128 Megabytes of nonvolatile flash memory, along with a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet and two serial ports. With a real Linux kernel running on the system, the sensorProbe8Linux-X60 is able to embed many applications such as Apache web server including encrypted https web pages, Bash, Perl, vi Telnet, PHP, Email, and Nagios.
4 Camera Features
Capable of connecting up to 4 external cameras, the sensorProbe8Linux supports a wide range of analog cameras: such as existing security cameras, sophisticated night vision, or low cost CCTV cameras. The sensorProbe8Linux can display pictures in several sizes, up to 640x480 pixels. It is capable of displaying pictures from 4 cameras simultaneously.
Note: all cameras must use the same Video Broadcast Standard - PAL or NTSC |

Video Conferencing and Sensor Graphing
Video conferencing is activated by connecting external camera to sensorProbe8Linux-X60 for facilitating communication. The speaker and microphone are integrated sensorProbe8Linux-X60 hardware. A regular Open H.323 protocol is used, with many different audio and video codecs supported (such as G.711-uLaw-64k, RFC2190 H.263-CIF, and H.261-CIF).
The sensorProbe8Linux-X60 integrates and displays graphs, plotted by RRD Tool into its web-based user interface, with Apache running as the regular and secured web server. The individual graph (day, week, month, and year) for each sensor type can be customized, simply by modifying the script template used to generate a particular graph. |

Intelligent Sensor and Dry contact Integration
The sensorProbe8Linux-X60 works with every intelligent sensor in the AKCP family. You can connect up to 8 of our autoSense sensors in any combination to monitor temperature, humidity, water leakage and airflow including long term graphing, security, detection of AC power line voltage, measurement of DC voltage, control relays, and many more such uses. The AKCP range of sensors also includes an integrated data collection and graphing package that is especially useful in spotting trends and
providing information for analysis.
The new feature in sensorProbe8Linux-X60 is, the integration with a single chip relative humidity and temperature multi sensor module comprising a calibrated digital output. The sensor includes a capacitive polymer sensing element for relative humidity and a bandgap temperature sensor. Both are seamlessly coupled to a 14bit analog to digital converter and a serial interface circuit on the same chip. This results in superior signal quality, a fast response time and insensitivity to external
disturbances (EMC). By having both temperature & humidity sensors in a single sensor, can be up to 1,000 feet, the sensorProbe8Linux-X60 can have up to a maximum of 8 temperature & 8 humidity sensors. This extends the capability of the sensorProbe8Linux-X60 to maximum of 16 sensing parameters.
Sensor Notification Wizard
When an event occurs, the cameraProbe8 can send SNMP traps, email, SMS, MMS, make a telephone call, and 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 nonvolatile flash memory. The number of pictures to take is customizable, for each camera, up to 2 pre-event, and 16 post-event pictures. Interval between each picture also can be customized. The timestamp is
displayed below each image. The cameraProbe8 has a battery backed time of day clock to facilitate accurate record keeping. |

False Message Filter
In order to prevent false alarms, the cameraProbe8 provides an extensive filtering of events. You can limit events based on the time of day or the day of the week. This is especially useful with the sensor like the motion detector, when you may want to process an event only when the business is closed.
Automatically Shutdown your Equipment in an Emergency
AKCP'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.

Above demonstrates 4 different pictures displayed under simultaneous mode from all 4 camera channels enabled as V1, V2, V3 and V4 under AKCP's integrated Javascript mode; pictures are updated every 5 seconds on all 4 camera channels simultaneously. Under scan mode, a picture from each camera is, in turn, shown on the web interface as the current picture is displayed, and then replaced by the picture from the next camera.
For more streaming video picture, ActiveX and JavaApplet are alternatives: each picture from each camera channel is updated variously in accordance with the number of cameras enabled. For one camera channel enabled, the maximum rate is 15 fps at 320x240 pixels under fast network. Thus, the frame rate depends on the number of enabled camera channels, image size (320x240 or 640x480pixels), and network speed option (slow or fast).
There is one input and one output for audio. The input of audio is a Line-In signal; thus, if you would like to connect a microphone, it should be amplified before connected to the rear panel connector. The connector for both input and output is a 3.5mm stereo jack. However, the software only supports for mono signal. The output signal is 5Vp-p. The sampling frequency for audio is 8 kH |
