Overview

The ENVIROMUX® Server Environment Monitoring System monitors critical environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, liquid water presence, power, intrusion, and smoke. When a sensor goes out of range of a configurable threshold, the system will notify you via email, LEDs, alarm beacon, siren, web page, network management (SNMP), voice phone calls (via Automatic Voice Dialer System), and SMS messages (via external GSM). The system includes three internal sensors: temperature, humidity and power. It also supports 16 external configurable sensors and eight digital input sensors.

"I'd like take this opportunity to thank you for the outstanding level of service I have received from you. Our E-SEMS-16 has been installed and is the fit that we were looking for to monitor potential environmental threats. The interface is very user friendly. We will be purchasing additional sensors as the need arises and would highly recommend your product."

William Bakhenberg

DBS International

Bethlehem, PA, USA
"NTI's E-MINI has allowed our federal agency to monitor temperature in critical areas should the building's HVAC fail. I was so impressed by it that we upgraded our main server room from the E-MINI to the E-SEMS-16, which will allow us to send cellular messages during power failures that affect our demarc. As the Network Engineer responsible for monitoring the agency's network faults and environmental variables, I can fulfill my duties knowing that NTI's products will alert me of a potential failure long before anyone becomes affected by it."

Philip Hutinet

Washington, DC, USA
"While shopping for environment monitoring equipment for our remote facilities, I came across NTI's website. One call got me all the information I needed on the E-SEMS-16. After sharing the information with everyone, we couldn't believe the flexibility of these units. NTI allowed us to demo one of the units for 30 days. The quality and flexibility of the product is great, plus NTI has a sensor for most anything you want to monitor. We placed another call to order two more units and all the sensors we needed. Now we can completely monitor and protect our remote sites just by logging in through a web browser."

Patrick Beard

Rice Belt Telephone Co

Weiner, AR, USA
"Between myself and my assistant, we are responsible for approximately 360 network devices at 4 different facilities. Several of these 360+ devices are wireless access points, routers, switches and our biggest nemeses, network based IP time clocks which are used for time and attendance purposes as well as logging on and off of jobs to track time.

"Being able to ping for up status of the non PC network IP devices through the E-SEMS-16 allows my assistant and I to attack a down device before it becomes a crisis."

"I am very satisfied with the performance of the E-SEMS-16, and I especially like the ease of operation."
