Akuvox C313N 7-Inch Touchscreen Indoor Monitor

The Akuvox C313N is for the home that simply needs to see who is at the door and let them in. The 7-inch capacitive touchscreen (1024 × 600) shows the door phone's camera when the bell rings; you answer hands-free through the built-in speaker and microphone, then tap to unlock. You can also look at the door camera at any time without a call, and talk to other monitors in the house.

It is the base model of the C313 family, and the difference is in what it leaves out. The C313N has one network port and a doorbell input, but no relay, no RS485 port and none of the eight alarm inputs found on the C313S and C313W. For most flats and villas answering an Akuvox door phone, those are not needed, and the C313N keeps the price down.

One Cat6 cable with 802.3af PoE powers it (1.44 W standby, 6 W at full load), or a 12V DC adapter where there is no PoE. It talks to any SIP door phone, and to a SIP PBX, using PCMU, PCMA and G.722 audio and H.264 video, with echo cancellation and automatic gain control.

The plastic body is 200.2 × 132.2 × 27.2 mm, slim enough to sit flat on the wall over a standard European or US back box, or stand on a desk. It comes in black or white, and is made for indoor use (-10 °C to +45 °C).
