Akuvox AV-C316S SILVER Video Station

The Android Video Station for up to 8 Intercoms

The Akuvox AV-C316S SILVER is an Android-based indoor video station with a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen. It serves as a central control unit for Akuvox intercoms: incoming calls from up to eight door stations are displayed with a live image, and the door can be opened directly via the touchscreen. Thanks to Android 12 as the operating system, the video station also offers advanced functions that go beyond a classic door intercom.

More than just door communication: Since the AV-C316S SILVER runs on Android 12, it can additionally be used as a small multimedia display, for example for videos, music or smart home applications. With 2 GB RAM and 8 GB internal storage, sufficient performance is available for this. Network connection is exclusively wired via Ethernet; power is supplied either via Power over Ethernet (802.3af) or an external 12V DC power supply.

In addition to pure door communication, the AV-C316S SILVER can also display live images from connected surveillance cameras via RTSP with H.264 codec, serving as a small control station for both door and camera in a single device.

5

Wired Network

The AV-C316S SILVER connects to the network exclusively via Ethernet; a Wi-Fi module is not installed in this variant.

6

Mounting

The video station can be used both wall-mounted and as a desktop device.

How the Door Is Opened

As an indoor station, the AV-C316S SILVER is the central point of contact for incoming calls from up to eight door stations and their release.

  • Answering video calls from up to 8 connected Akuvox intercoms
  • Door opening directly via the 7-inch touchscreen
  • Additional display of live images from integrated surveillance cameras via RTSP
  • Two-way audio communication with the respective door station via microphone and speaker
💡

Practical example: In a multi-family house with several entrances, the doorbell rings at the rear entrance. On the AV-C316S SILVER in the hallway, the live image of the matching door station appears automatically. The resident speaks directly to the visitor via the device and opens the door with a tap on the touchscreen.
