Akuvox S563 8-Inch Android 12 Indoor Monitor

The Akuvox S563 sits between the 7-inch and 10-inch monitors: an 8-inch IPS touchscreen at 1280 × 800 and 310 nits, in a body only 22.1 mm deep. It runs Android 12 with 2 GB of RAM and 8 GB of storage, so beside the intercom it can run Android apps.

Two features are aimed at family homes. A voice changer alters the voice of the person answering the door, so a child or someone home alone does not give that away to a stranger at the gate. And a built-in voice assistant (English, picking up speech up to 5 m away) lets you answer or open the door without touching the screen, useful with full hands in the kitchen.

For the door it shows the visitor from Akuvox and other SIP door phones, with clear hands-free audio from a 4 Ω / 2 W speaker, echo cancellation and automatic gain control, and opens the door with a tap. Eight alarm inputs take door, window and motion sensors; there is also a relay output, RS485, a doorbell input and two network ports.

It runs on 802.3af PoE or 12V DC, measures 216.2 × 124.4 × 22.1 mm, mounts over a European or US back box or stands on a desk, and is for indoor use from -10 °C to +45 °C.
