What is securityProbe 5ESV Standard with Video?
The securityProbe 5ESV Standard with Video integrates over 10 years of environmental
monitoring experience with the latest technology to push the boundaries of disaster
protection. Now you can sense and see problems before they lead to business
disruptions.
The SEC 5ESV is a high speed, accurate, intelligent monitoring device, featuring a
completely embedded host and Linux Operating System. The design is based on our
successful securityProbe 5ES, but with the camera inputs.
What’s the difference between the securityProbe 5ESV and
the securityProbe 5ESV-X20 / X60?
The securityProbe 5EV-X20 has the 8 RJ-45 intelligent sensor ports AND has 20 or 60
extra dry contact inputs, where the securityProbe 5ESV only has the 8 RJ-45 sensor
ports. More on these extra dry contacts in the sections below.

securityProbe 5ESV-X20 20 Extra Dry Contact Inputs
The 20 extra dry contact inputs on for example, the securityProbe 5ESV-X20, (or
securityProbe 5ESV-X60) can be configured as inputs only up to 5 Volts in normal
operation. In opto-isolation mode they can input up to 30 Volts DC. This will protect these
inputs and the unit from high voltages and spikes.
Opto-isolators provide complete electrical separation between the securityProbe 5ESV-
X20 or X60 and the dry contact. The base units are therefore protected against possible
large voltage spikes caused by lightning for example.
The figure below shows the JUMPERS (on the dry contact board) set up to provide opto-
isolators support. Opto-isolators provide complete electrical separation between the
securityProbe 5ESV-X20 and X60 and the dry contact.
Please refer to the rear panel of the securityProbe 5ES above for the other connections
on the rear panel as they are exactly the same in functionality.
The OID for the extra dry contact inputs is:- .1.3.6.1.4.1.3854.1.2.2.1.18.1.3.<port>
Extra dry contact input practical applications:
The extra dry contact inputs can be used to monitor many types of equipment, for example, you
can run the connection from warning lights on alarm panels to the dry contact inputs, so that
when the warning light on the alarm panel is activated, the dry contact is triggered in the units
web interface, thus allowing you to send notifications via emails or SNMP traps.

Creating A Backup Configuration File
Keep in mind the after you set up your securityProbe unit and have all the settings and
alerts completed you can create a backup configuration file. This file will contain the
configuration of the units settings and also the sensor settings and notification alerts.
These backup configuration files can be loaded on other units as long as they are the
same basic type. For example you can load a backup config file from a securityProbe 5E
onto a securityProbe 5ES unit. You can also use the probeManager utility to push out the
same configuration file to multiple units on your network simultaneously.
However it is not recommended to load a backup file from a securityProbe 5ES or 5ESV
unit to a securityProbe 5ES-X20 or X60 or a 5ESV-X20 or X60 unit.
To create your backup config file, you first need to log in to the unit as an Administrator,
then navigate to the Settings page >> System Administrator >> System Maintenance
You will then browse to where you would like to store the backup file on the PC, making
sure the Save is chosen then clicking the OK button.
You can restore this or another backup file using the Restore All Settings From Backup
File.
