Akuvox C313W-2 7-Inch 2-Wire Indoor Monitor with Wi-Fi

In an older building the flat's old intercom handset hangs on two wires that run back to the entrance. The Akuvox C313W-2 replaces that handset with a 7-inch touchscreen video monitor on the same two wires, so no network cable has to be pulled through the flat. In a villa it connects straight to a two-wire door phone (Akuvox sells it with the R20A-2 or E12S-2 as a kit with one power adapter) and reaches the internet over Wi-Fi. In a building, an Akuvox NS-2 2-wire switch in the cabinet feeds power and network to every flat's monitor over its pair.

The monitor has two 2-wire ports and one Ethernet port. It can also take a 48V DC supply where it is not fed by the NS-2, and it has 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n). It pairs with Akuvox two-wire door phones such as the R20A-2 and E12S-2, and with any SIP door phone reachable on the network.

On screen it works like the other C313 monitors: the 7-inch capacitive touchscreen (800 × 480, 220 nits) shows the visitor, calls are hands-free with echo cancellation, and the door opens with a tap. On the back are eight alarm inputs for sensors, a relay output, RS485 and a doorbell input.

It draws 7.62 W at full load on 48V DC, measures 200.2 × 132.2 × 27.2 mm, mounts over a European or US back box or on a desk, and is for indoor use (-10 °C to +45 °C).
