Akuvox AV-S560 IP Intercom

The Simple IP Home Phone for Listening and Door Opening

The Akuvox AV-S560 is a SIP-based home phone in classic handset format that focuses on the essential intercom functions: answering calls and opening the door. With its compact, minimalist design, it is particularly suitable for smaller rooms and serves ideally as an additional extension in an existing Akuvox system, for example in a bedroom, hallway or secondary room.

The AV-S560 can be either wall-mounted or placed freely on a surface. Connection is via Ethernet (RJ45, 10/100 Mbps) with Power-over-Ethernet according to 802.3af, or alternatively via a 12 V DC connection if no PoE is available.

Clear Sound for Conversations and Door Release

The AV-S560 combines all the essential functions of a simple intercom extension in a compact housing with a Linux operating system.

How the AV-S560 Is Built

The AV-S560 is deliberately designed in classic handset format and does without a display to remain particularly simple to operate.
