About the Akuvox E12S-2

Many older villas and buildings in Kuwait still have the two-core cable of an analogue intercom inside the walls, and pulling a network cable through the same conduit is often impossible. The Akuvox E12S-2 is built for that case: two wires carry both its power and its IP network connection, so the old door station comes off and the E12S-2 goes on the same pair.

In a villa, the two wires can run straight from the door to an Akuvox two-wire indoor monitor, the C313W-2, which Akuvox sells with the E12S-2 as a two-wire kit powered by one adapter. In a building with several flats, the pairs end at an Akuvox NS-2 2-wire IP network switch in the cabinet instead: it is DIN-rail mounted, runs on a 48V (or 24V) DC supply, serves six two-wire devices, and joins the system to the network and internet through one RJ45 port. Several NS-2 switches can be cascaded for larger buildings.

At the door it is an E12 in every other way: one call button, a 2MP camera with a 123° × 69° lens and white LED night lighting, a 13.56 MHz reader for Mifare and DESFire cards (and NFC on Android phones), Bluetooth 5.0, one lock relay, two inputs, a Wiegand port and a tamper alarm. Calls go to an Akuvox indoor monitor such as the C313W-2, to SIP phones, or to the SmartPlus app on residents' mobiles.

The plastic body is IP65 rated, 146 × 70 × 23 mm, surface-mounted, and rated for -40 °C to +55 °C. Where a network cable can reach the door, the E12S on PoE is the simpler choice.

Akuvox E12S-2 questions

What does the Akuvox E12S-2 need besides the two wires?

In a villa, an Akuvox two-wire indoor monitor (the C313W-2) and its power adapter: the monitor powers the door phone over the two wires, as in Akuvox's two-wire kit. In a building with several flats, an Akuvox NS-2 2-wire switch with a 48V DC supply feeds all the door phones and monitors.

Can I reuse the cable of my old analogue intercom?

That is what the E12S-2 is for. The existing two-core cable to the door is connected to the new two-wire monitor or NS-2 switch instead of the old intercom unit, as long as the cable is in good condition.

What is the difference between the E12S-2 and the E12S?

The E12S needs a network cable and runs on PoE. The E12S-2 runs on two wires from a two-wire monitor or the NS-2 switch. The camera, reader, relay and housing are the same.

Can residents answer the E12S-2 on their mobiles?

Yes. Once the two-wire monitor (by Wi-Fi) or the NS-2 (by cable) is connected to the internet, calls can ring the Akuvox SmartPlus app with video, and the door can be opened from the call.
