A slim video doorbell on one cable.
2 MP, PoE, IP65.
The AK-E12S is Akuvox’s E12S in silver: the award-winning E12 single-button doorbell in its wired Ethernet version. One cable carries data and 802.3af PoE, so the door station is powered and networked from the switch.
This SKU is the door station only.
You receive the silver E12S surface-mount doorbell. Indoor monitors, rain hood, angle bracket, power supply and lock hardware are sold separately.

One button. Every way in.
Visitors press once and the call rings an Akuvox monitor or the SmartPlus app. Residents skip the call — tap a card, use NFC or Bluetooth, or unlock from the app.

Camera
See who is there, day or night.
A 2 MP 1/2.7″ CMOS camera covers 123° horizontally and 69° vertically and streams H.264 up to 1920 × 1080 at 30 fps.
A light sensor switches on the white-light LED for night calls, down to 0.1 lux. Echo cancellation keeps two-way audio clear on a busy street.
Access
Card, phone, NFC or Bluetooth.
The 13.56 MHz reader takes MIFARE and DESFire EV1 / EV2 / EV3 credentials, Android phones unlock over NFC, and Bluetooth 5.0 supports phone-based entry. The station holds 1,000 users and 5,000 cards.
One relay releases a strike or maglock; two inputs take an exit button and door sensor, and the Wiegand port is selectable as input or output.

App
Answer the door from anywhere.
With the Akuvox SmartPlus app, residents see and talk to visitors and release the door from their phone — at home or away.
The same E12 can also ring Akuvox indoor monitors, so the household gets a screen on the wall and calls on the phone.
How it works
From button press to open door.
01
Mount
Fix the station to the door frame or pier. Add the E12 rain hood on exposed elevations or the angle bracket to aim the camera.
02
One cable
Run Cat5e/Cat6 with 802.3af PoE to the RJ45, or use a local 12 V DC supply.
03
Register
Pair it with Akuvox indoor monitors, SmartPlus or your SIP PBX and enrol cards and users.
04
Test the door
Press the button, check the picture day and night, and confirm the relay releases the lock.

Answers
Common questions
What is the difference between E12S and E12W?
Same housing, camera and reader. E12W adds dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (2.4 / 5 GHz) alongside RJ45; E12S is the wired Ethernet version. This listing is the E12S — it has no Wi-Fi.
Is there a black version?
Yes. The E12 comes in silver (black glass over a brushed silver panel) and all black. This listing is silver; the black E12S is a separate SKU.
How is it powered?
IEEE 802.3af PoE over the network cable, or a local 12 V DC supply.
Can I unlock the door from my phone?
Yes. SmartPlus app users can answer and unlock, Android phones can unlock over NFC, and Bluetooth 5.0 supports phone-based entry.
Is an indoor monitor included?
No. Pair it with a compatible Akuvox indoor monitor, the SmartPlus app or any SIP endpoint.
A compact doorbell for every front door, local stock.
Choose E12S when the door already has a network cable and you want one-cable PoE — or E12W when it does not. Order through Infront Technologies for Australian stock and pairing advice.
Installation & safety notice
Low-voltage product (SELV). Power from IEEE 802.3af PoE or a 12 V DC supply as stated on the Akuvox E12S datasheet. Treat as SELV low-voltage equipment.
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.
