Akuvox S565 10-Inch Linux Indoor Monitor

Most people who want a 10-inch intercom screen want it for the picture: a large, clear view of the visitor at the gate or of several door cameras. The Akuvox S565 gives that on Linux rather than Android, which keeps it simpler and less expensive than the S567. The 10-inch IPS touchscreen runs at 1280 × 800 and 290 nits, viewable 80° to each side.

It has two microphones for clearer hands-free talk across a large majlis or living room, plus echo cancellation and automatic gain control. When the bell rings, it shows the visitor from Akuvox or other SIP door phones, and the door opens with a tap; the door cameras can be watched at any time.

On the back are eight alarm inputs for door, window and motion sensors, a relay output, RS485, a doorbell input and two network ports. It runs on 802.3af PoE (4 W standby, 8 W full load) or 12V DC.

The body measures 278 × 164 × 22.8 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. Choose the S567 instead if the screen should also run Android apps or a voice assistant.
