All of the sensors for the IMS-1000 use
standard computer patch cables (Cat-5). Just snap in the connector and you're done. The sensors are automatically detected by the
1000 and even self configured. There are no screw terminals to deal with and no wire stripping to worry about. Just plug and go.

Once connected, the IMS-1000 will automatically recognize the type of sensor installed and configure it for you, using a standard
template that you can modify. Because
the IMS-1000 supplies power and
configuration data for each sensor, the
IMS-1000 can detect faults with your
sensors: If there’s a cable disruption or your sensor is accidentally unplugged, you will
know it.

Each IMS Host or Node attaches to your Ethernet network via the IMS Network
Interface for monitoring of your network
events.

The New IMS-1000 offers web-based monitoring for everyone

Sensaphone's latest development, the IMS-1000, provides a flexible, web-based monitoring system for many applications. It connects to any Ethernet network and has a built in web server for viewing status, making programming changes, and reviewing data log history. Up to eight sensors can be connected to monitor a wide variety of conditions including temperature, humidity, physical security, smoke, fire, power, etc. The IMS 1000 is perfect for cold storage applications and even accepts a new –85 Deg C temperatures sensor. It also includes one relay output to switch a local device on or off depending on alarm activity. Power failure monitoring is built-in along with a rechargeable battery backup.

Alarm notification is delivered by sending e-mail messages and text messages. An upgrade is available to also include a telephone connection that adds custom voice alarm phone calls. With the phone option users can also call in for a voice status just like most other Sensaphone products.

If the IMS-1000 is going to be used in a computer room, additional computer room features are also built-in. IP device monitoring is included to monitor the proper functioning of the servers on your network. Alarms can also be sent via snmp traps, and all programming parameters are accessible through the IMS-1000 snmp agent.
