Akuvox R20BX3 On-Wall 3-Button SIP Video Door Phone

A typical Kuwaiti family building has a ground floor, a first floor and a roof annex, often three households sharing one entrance. The Akuvox R20BX3 puts three call buttons, each with its own name plate, on a panel only 85 mm wide, so it fits a gate pillar or a door frame that a keypad door station would not.

A press on any button rings that home's Akuvox indoor monitor, its SIP phone or the SmartPlus app on the residents' mobiles, with live video from the 2MP camera (110° × 58°, up to 1080p). Infrared LEDs and a light sensor switch the camera to night vision after dark, and a motion sensor wakes the panel.

Residents can also come in with a card: the reader accepts 125 kHz EM cards, 13.56 MHz Mifare and DESFire cards and NFC on Android phones, for up to 20,000 cards and 4,000 users. Two relays let the building have a pedestrian door and a car gate on one panel, and RS485 and Wiegand connect an access control controller if more doors are added.

The aluminium front is IP65 and measures 185 × 85 × 24 mm. One 802.3af PoE cable powers it. This listing is the on-wall build; Akuvox also sells a flush-mount back box and rain covers. For two homes the R20BX2 is the same panel with two buttons, and for four or five the R20BX4 and R20BX5.
