The AlertWerks II ServSensor V4E enables you to integrate environmental sensors and surveillance cameras into one seamless remote monitoring system that watches over your premises. Use it to monitor data centres, offices, or anywhere it's important to keep an eye on conditions on the ground.
Plug-and play Sensor Integration Plug up to 8 (eight) Intelligent Sensors into the RJ-45 ports of the ServSensor V4E. Sensors automatically configure and go on-line, ready to report any status change. Choose from a wide variety of sensors, including temperature, humidity, water, airflow, motion, and voltage. Use the two expansion ports on the front of the ServSensor V4E to add even more ports with the ServSensor V4E Expansion Units. The ServSensor EXP8 (EME1X8) provides additional ports for eight Intelligent Sensors; the ServSensor EXPDC16 (EME1DC16) provides 16 dry contacts. Video Surveillance The ServSensor V4E supports up to four ServSensor PT Dome Cameras. You can also use it with a wide range of analogue cameras like your existing security cameras, sophisticated night-vision cameras, outdoor cameras, or low-cost CCTV cameras. The ServSensor V4E supports video of up to 640 x 480 dpi from up to four cameras. Set it to scan between cameras or show all cameras at once. It has enough memory to store up to 2320 pictures. A built-in 4-port Pelco-D-compatible pan/tilt controller eliminates the need for expensive additional controllers and enables you to move and zoom cameras from the Web interface. Data from Graphical Interface The ServSensor V4E gathers and displays sensor data in its easy-to-use, Web-based user interface. It automatically generates day, week, month, and year graphs for each sensor. The data can be downloaded in a text file for external processing or remotely polled and saved automatically to a PC. Notification Wizard The Notification Wizard enables the ServSensor V4E to notify you of changes in sensor status in real time. Configure each notification by choosing a sensor, selecting the alarm condition, and defining what to do when the alarm is triggered. You can choose to be notified in a variety of ways: audible alarm, SNMP trap, e-mail, e-mail with attached picture, text message to your phone, or fax. For instance, you can have the ServSensor V4E text you when it detects that the door of a server cabinet is opened or e-mail everyone on your IT staff whenever the temperature in your data centre goes over 30° C. False Message Filter To prevent false alarms, ServSensor V4E allows extensive filtering of events. You can limit events based on the time of day or the day of the week. You can also limit the number of alerts per hour, so that you are not swamped with messages. This is especially important with a sensor like the motion detector where you may want to process an event only when the business premises are closed. Automatic emergency shut down 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. |
