✔ Reliability
• Supervised Sensors
All of the IMS sensors are continuously
monitored by the IMS parent unit. If
they become disconnected an alert will
be sent.
• Powered Sensors
All IMS sensors are powered through
their connection to the IMS parent unit.
• Redundant communication
paths with “out of band”
alarm notication.
Receive alarm notification via several
different channels; e-mail, text message,
phone, and fax.
✔ Ease of Use
• Integrated Web Server
• Plug and play sensors with
automatic identication and
setup
All IMS sensors are connected using
standard Cat–5 cables. As soon as they’re
plugged in, they become active and start
working.
• Convenient Cat–5 cabling
for sensors
The use of Cat–5 jacks for sensor inputs
allows the use of existing structured
cabling to connect remote sensors.
✔ Powerful Features
• Data Logging
All IMS systems gather a time–stamped
collection of input values that can be
used to view and graph information.
• Detailed Event History
The eventlog contains time–stamped
messages that describe activities
performed by the unit such as alarm
detection, user logins, telephone calls,
and alarm acknowledgement.
• Network Management
Integration
The IMS system helps maintain, monitor,
expedite, and control conditions that
effect both large and small networks.
• Video integration with alarm
triggering image capture
Alarms can be sent with an image of the
condition that tripped that alarm.
The Sensaphone IMS family allows monitoring of potential
environmental threats in many of the same ways as traditional
Sensaphone products. They can monitor for conditions such as
temperature and humidity range, the presence of water, power failure,
and physical security with both hard–wired and wireless sensors.
The IMS solutions are designed with many features that go beyond the
traditional line of Sensaphone products. One of the biggest advantages
is the ability to provide web based monitoring while still offering a
traditional phone line. Users can monitor a single room or multiple
rooms spread out over a campus, city, state, country, or continents
with the same software and still be assured they will receive alarms
even if the network connection is lost. The IMS solution is built to be
expandable up to 32 units – with eight sensors monitored by each unit,
up to 256 inputs can be monitored from one computer. If that’s not
enough, multiple networks can be managed within the same software.
A full line of IMS specic sensors provide monitoring for a full range
of environmental conditions. The sensors require no tools to install,
simply plug them in using a standard RJ-45 connection and the
IMS unit begins monitoring. With the addition of a Wireless Node,
sensors can be monitored without running cables. Simply turn the
wireless sensor on and place it in the location it will be
monitoring.
At the center of any IMS solution is the software. All units come with
the ConsoleView software which allows IMS users to program and
manage their network. It allows users to achieve maximum potential
from their system by setting detailed parameters for sensors, alarms
and more. A multi–site, multi–user software license is included with
the purchase so there is no worry about additional licensing costs.
In addition to all of the other advanced features, the IMS solutions
offer features specic to monitoring a data center or computer room.
The solution provides integrated monitoring of network connectivity
and server operation, provides a full event–history and trending, and
the units can be mounted directly into a server rack.
Even though the IMS solution was designed with the IT professional
in mind, it is nding useful applications in many medical,
pharmaceutical, and food industries that have a need for monitoring
several locations using one simple solution.
