Akuvox A15 is a slim access control terminal that fits facial recognition, a 4.59-inch touchscreen and video intercom into a 50 mm wide body. Users enter by face, card, PIN, QR code, Bluetooth or mobile, and the A15 can power a lock or reader from its own PoE+ or DC supply.
The AK-A15 is Akuvox’s compact access control terminal (datasheet model A15S). An ultra-narrow bezel wraps a 4.59-inch touchscreen, two 2 MP cameras and a 13.56 MHz / NFC reader, with Wiegand, RS485, two relays and four inputs for third-party access systems.
In the box
The A15 ships with a wall-mounting bracket, template, wiring cover, cables and fixings for surface mounting. The in-wall installation box, indoor monitors, PoE switch, lock and cards are sold separately.
Fit it on a narrow mullion or beside an office door. Staff walk in by face or Bluetooth; visitors call through the video intercom; contractors use a card, PIN or QR code.
Wiring
Whether fed by PoE+ or a DC adapter, the A15 can pass power through to a peripheral such as a magnetic lock or card reader — 12 V DC / 0.5 A on PoE+, or 12 V DC / 1 A on DC input.
That means one cable to the door instead of separate lock power, cutting material and labour on new installs and retrofits.
Access
Face recognition in under 200 ms at 99.7% accuracy, MIFARE / DESFire EV2 / EV3 / FeliCa cards, PIN, QR code, Bluetooth and mobile entry, with up to 5,000 users, 5,000 faces and 25,000 cards.
Wiegand, RS485, OSDP and two relays connect to third-party access control systems. The body is rated IP65 and IK07, with a −20 °C to +55 °C working range.
How it works
01
Fix the supplied wall bracket using the template, or install the optional in-wall box for a flush finish.
02
Connect PoE+ or 12 V DC, the lock to a relay, and exit button or door sensor to the inputs.
03
Use the web portal to add users, faces, cards and PINs, or link the A15 to your access system over Wiegand or RS485.
04
Check face, card and PIN entry and confirm each relay releases its lock.

Answers
Both. It is an access control terminal with face, card, PIN, QR, BLE and mobile entry, plus SIP video intercom with a 2 MP camera.
Under 200 ms with 99.7% accuracy, using a main and an auxiliary 2 MP camera with IR and white LEDs. It stores 5,000 faces.
No. The reader is 13.56 MHz only — MIFARE, DESFire EV2 / EV3 and FeliCa — plus NFC on Android phones. It stores up to 25,000 cards.
Yes, small loads. It outputs 12 V DC up to 0.5 A when powered by PoE+, or up to 1 A when powered by a 12 V DC / 2 A supply.
Yes. It is 50 mm wide, 170 mm tall and 27.9 mm deep, designed for mullions. It surface-mounts on the supplied bracket or flush-mounts in the optional in-wall box.
Yes. It supports RTSP and is compatible with third-party NVRs, streaming H.264 at up to 1080p 30 fps.
Yes. It has selectable Wiegand in/out, RS485 and OSDP, two relays and four inputs.
Yes, a wall-mounting bracket and template are in the box. A flush in-wall installation box is available separately.
Choose the A15 for offices, shared buildings and retrofit projects that want facial recognition and intercom on a tight frame.
Low-voltage product (SELV). Power from IEEE 802.3at PoE or a 12 V DC / 2 A supply. The power output supplies 12 V DC / 0.5 A from PoE+ or 12 V DC / 1 A from a DC input.
When a licensed tradesperson is required. Concealed data and intercom cabling is customer cabling under AS/CA S009 and must be installed by an ACMA-registered cabler. Electric locks, maglocks and lock power supplies may require a licensed electrician or security installer.
