Akuvox AV-X912S Video Door Intercom

The vandal-resistant video door intercom for premium properties

The Akuvox AV-X912S is a SIP video door intercom with a stainless steel front panel, which the manufacturer specifically positions for premium residential and commercial projects. Thanks to its compact design, the device is, according to Akuvox, particularly well suited for buildings with limited installation space, without compromising on features or robustness. At its center is a 4-inch touch-sensitive color display, combined with a touch-sensitive numeric keypad, two cameras, and an RF card reader – all housed in a vandal-resistant enclosure rated IP65 and impact-resistant to IK10.

Designed for premium property protection: The dark, matte stainless steel finish ("Tarnish") underscores the device's high-quality character while also being resistant to scratches and fingerprints. The AV-X912S can be mounted either flush or on the surface and is powered either via PoE+ or an external 12 V power supply.

Door release can be carried out via facial recognition, the integrated card or NFC reader, PIN code entry on the touch keypad, Bluetooth (BLE), or QR code.

Access, video and audio in one device

The AV-X912S combines facial recognition, video communication, and multiple access methods in a robust stainless steel housing.

🙂

Facial recognition

Recognition speed under 200 ms with a recognition accuracy of 99.7%.

📷

Dual camera

Main and secondary camera, each 2 megapixels, field of view 125°(H)/65°(V), secondary camera with automatic light adjustment.

🖐️

4-inch touchscreen

Color TFT display with 480x480 pixels, touch-sensitive.

🔢

Touch numeric keypad

Touch-sensitive number keys integrated directly into the front glass, robust and vandal-resistant.

🪪

RF & NFC reader

Integrated reader for 13.56 MHz and 125 kHz cards as well as NFC (Android devices only).

How the AV-X912S is built

The housing of the AV-X912S is designed as a closed stainless steel unit with clearly organized functional areas. From top to bottom, the device can be divided into the following sections:

1

Camera section with dual camera

In the upper area sit the main camera and a second, independent secondary camera (each 2 megapixels), complemented by an infrared LED for recording in darkness. The wide-angle optics cover a field of view of 125° horizontal and 65° vertical and are permanently active.

2

4-inch touchscreen

Below this sits the 4-inch color TFT display with 480x480 pixels. Video calls, visitor display, and operation of the integrated directory all run via the touchscreen.

3

Touch numeric keypad

In the lower front area is a touch-sensitive, backlit numeric keypad (0–9) for PIN code entry, with no moving mechanical keys – an advantage for vandal resistance and low maintenance.

4

Card and NFC reader

The RF reader for 13.56 MHz (including MIFARE, DESFire) and 125 kHz cards (EM), as well as NFC, is integrated into the front panel.

5

Microphone and speaker

Two microphones and a speaker handle two-way voice communication, including echo cancellation; an additional line output allows connection of an external speaker or amplifier.

6

Connections on the rear

On the rear are the Ethernet connection with Power over Ethernet (802.3at), a connection for an external 12 V power supply (if PoE+ is not available), an additional 12 V/1 A power output for supplying external small devices, two relay outputs for door openers, three inputs, as well as interfaces for Wiegand (input/output selectable) and RS485.

7

Housing, mounting, and tamper protection

The front panel is made of stainless steel in a dark "Tarnish" finish, and the overall housing is protected to IP65 against dust and jetting water as well as to IK10 against mechanical impact – the highest impact resistance class within the Akuvox door station range. Mounting can be either flush or surface-mounted; a tamper alarm reports forced removal attempts.

Five ways to open the door

The AV-X912S combines classic and biometric access methods in one device.

  • Facial recognition directly via the integrated dual camera
  • Presenting an EM, MIFARE, or DESFire card at the RF reader
  • Entering a personal PIN code on the touch numeric keypad
  • Release via Bluetooth (BLE) using a paired smartphone
  • Scanning a QR code, for example for time-limited visitor access
💡

Practical example: A resident of a premium residential complex approaches the entrance. The AV-X912S recognizes the face in under 200 ms and opens the door automatically. A visitor without a stored face instead enters a previously received PIN code on the touchscreen or scans a time-limited QR code.

Reliable recognition in any lighting condition

The camera of the AV-X912S is permanently active and automatically adapts to changing lighting conditions.

  • Camera permanently in operation, no manual wake-up required
  • Infrared LED for recording in darkness
  • Automatic white balance for natural color reproduction
  • Minimum illumination of 0.1 lux for recording in very low light
  • Facial recognition in under 200 ms with 99.7% recognition accuracy
  • Two relays independently controllable via DTMF tones
  • Tamper alarm for additional security

Integration into existing systems

The AV-X912S is designed as an open SIP and ONVIF device and can be used both standalone and within larger access and video environments.

SIP

Direct integration into IP telephone systems and SIP-capable endpoints.

ONVIF

Connection of the camera feed to common video management and surveillance systems, including third-party network video recorders (NVRs).

Wiegand & RS485

The Wiegand port can be operated as either an input or output; external access readers or third-party devices can be connected via this and via RS485.

ACMS / SDMC

Central management of multiple Akuvox devices via the manufacturer's own management platforms, ideal for multiple locations or access points.

For voice transmission, the AV-X912S uses the SIP versions v1 (RFC2543) and v2 (RFC3261) as well as the audio codecs G.711a, G.711µ, and G.722, complemented by echo cancellation, voice activity detection, and a comfort noise generator. On the network side, the device supports, among others, IPv4, HTTP(S), FTP, DNS, NTP, RTSP, RTP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, DHCP, and ARP. The camera delivers video streams in H.264 with resolutions from CIF up to 1080p.

Also designed for many users on a standalone basis

The AV-X912S can manage access data locally on the device even entirely without central management software.

Up to 20,000 users

Local user management directly on the device, plus up to 5,000 additional contacts.

Up to 100,000 cards

Sufficient storage capacity even for larger properties with many authorized users.

Up to 20,000 PINs & faces

20,000 PIN codes and 20,000 face templates can be stored locally.

EM, MIFARE & DESFire

Supports EM cards (125 kHz), MIFARE cards, and DESFire cards (EV1/EV2/EV3).

Maintenance and operation from a distance

For professional operation and remote maintenance, the AV-X912S comes with several administrative functions.

  • Auto-provisioning for automated initial setup
  • Management via a web-based management portal
  • Web-based packet dump for network diagnostics
  • Backup and restore of the configuration
  • Export of entry logs
  • Export and import of access tables
  • Firmware updates via the web interface
  • System logs, including door access logs

Ruggedly built for continuous outdoor use

As a door station for premium properties, the AV-X912S is particularly designed for resistance to weather and deliberate damage.

  • Stainless steel front panel for high mechanical robustness
  • IP65 protection rating against dust and powerful jetting water
  • Impact resistance to IK10 – the highest protection class in the Akuvox door station portfolio
  • Integrated tamper alarm for forced removal
  • Touch numeric keypad with no moving parts, making it particularly vandal-resistant
  • Operating temperature range of -20 °C to +60 °C for outdoor use

Commissioning in a few steps

Setting up the AV-X912S can be completed quickly, even without prior experience.

  1. Determine the mounting type: use flush or surface mounting
  2. Mount the device and connect the Ethernet/PoE+ cable, or alternatively use an external 12 V power supply
  3. Perform basic setup via the door station's web interface
  4. Enroll users, cards, PINs, and/or faces on the device or centrally via ACMS/SDMC
  5. Wire the relays and inputs for the door opener or gate
  6. Optional: integration into an existing SIP telephone system or ONVIF video management software
