Akuvox AV-S563W GRAY Video Station

The Android Video Station with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Voice Distortion

The Akuvox AV-S563W GRAY is an Android-based indoor video station with an 8-inch capacitive touchscreen. It serves as a central control unit for Akuvox intercoms: incoming calls are displayed with a live image, and the door can be opened directly via the touchscreen. Thanks to Android 12 as the operating system and a high-quality speaker, the video station offers a particularly clear audio-video experience.

Wirelessly networked: The AV-S563W GRAY connects to the network or other devices optionally via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Alternatively, an RJ45 network port with Power over Ethernet is still available. Power is supplied accordingly via PoE (802.3af) or an external 12V DC power supply.

Special protection for vulnerable persons: An integrated voice distortion function can transform the user’s own voice into an adult male voice. This way, a stranger at the door does not learn that, for example, a child, a woman or an elderly person is at home alone and answering.

Touchscreen, Voice Assistant and Voice Protection in One Device

The AV-S563W GRAY combines the most important functions of an indoor station for video intercom systems with additional protection and comfort features.

Additional integration of surveillance cameras via RTSP with H.264 codec.

How the AV-S563W GRAY Is Built

The housing of the AV-S563W GRAY is compact and space-saving so that the video station blends unobtrusively into residential and commercial spaces.

1

Front Panel with Touchscreen

The front is made of grey plastic and is completely dominated by the 8-inch capacitive touchscreen, through which all operation is performed.

2

Microphone and Speaker

A microphone (-26 dB) and a speaker (4Ω/2W) handle bidirectional voice communication including echo cancellation – supplemented by the integrated voice distortion and the voice assistant.

3

Android System and Wireless Modules

With 2 GB RAM and 8 GB internal storage, an Android 12 system runs inside, supplemented by a Wi-Fi and a Bluetooth 4.2 module for wireless connectivity.

4

Rear Connections

On the rear there are two RJ45 Ethernet ports (PoE-capable), one relay output, one doorbell input, eight alarm inputs/outputs as well as interfaces for Wiegand and RS485 and a 12V DC socket for external power supply.

5

Mounting and Tamper Protection

The video station can be used both wall-mounted and as a desktop device and is equipped with tamper protection (Tamper Resistant) against forced removal.

How the Door Is Opened

As an indoor station, the AV-S563W GRAY is the central point of contact for incoming calls from door stations and their release.

  • Answering video calls from connected Akuvox intercoms
  • Door opening directly via the 8-inch touchscreen
  • Additional display of live images from integrated surveillance cameras via RTSP
  • Communication with distorted voice when vulnerable persons are at home alone
💡

Practical example: A child is at home alone and the doorbell rings at the front door. Via the AV-S563W GRAY the child answers the call with voice distortion activated – to the person at the door the voice sounds like that of an adult man, without revealing that a child is alone in the house.

Integration into Existing Systems

The AV-S563W GRAY is designed as a SIP endpoint and can be combined with both Akuvox door stations and other network components.

SIP

Supports SIP v1 (RFC2543) and SIP v2 (RFC3261) for integration as an indoor station in SIP-based intercom systems.

RTSP Cameras

Integration of surveillance cameras via RTSP with H.264 codec directly on the touchscreen.

Wiegand & RS485

Serial interfaces for connecting additional access control components or third-party devices.

Wi-Fi & Bluetooth

Additional wireless connection to the network as well as to other Bluetooth-enabled devices.

For video transmission, the AV-S563W GRAY supports the streaming formats H.263 and H.264. For audio transmission, the narrowband codecs G.711a, G.711µ and G.729 as well as the wideband codec G.722 are used, supplemented by DTMF support (In-Band, Out-of-Band according to RFC2833 as well as SIP Info), echo cancellation, voice activity detection and a comfort noise generator. On the network side, the device supports, among others, IPv4, HTTP(S), FTP, TFTP, SNMP, DNS, SNTP, RTSP, SRTP, RTP, TCP, UDP, TLS, ICMP, DHCP and ARP.

Maintenance and Operation from a Distance

For professional operation and remote maintenance, the AV-S563W GRAY includes several administrative functions.

  • Auto-provisioning for automated initial setup
  • Management via a web-based management portal
  • Web-based packet dump for network diagnosis
  • Backup and restoration of the configuration
  • Firmware updates via the web interface
  • System logs including door access logs

Designed for Continuous Indoor Operation

As a pure indoor device, the AV-S563W GRAY is not intended for outdoor use, but includes features for reliable continuous operation.

  • Tamper protection (Tamper Resistant) against forced removal
  • Energy-saving mode for the touchscreen in standby
  • Operating temperature from -10 °C to +45 °C, storage from -20 °C to +70 °C
  • Permissible humidity from 10 to 90 %
