Every resident, every way in.
Visitors key in a flat number and the resident sees them before opening up. Residents skip the call — tap a card, enter a PIN, hold up an Android phone or unlock from the SmartPlus app.

Camera
See who is calling, day or night.
2 MP 1/2.8″ CMOS camera with a 110° horizontal and 58° vertical view. Video streams in H.264 at up to 1920 × 1080, 1080p at 30 fps.
IR LEDs, a light sensor and 0.1 lux minimum illumination keep night calls usable, and a motion sensor wakes the station as visitors approach. ONVIF and RTSP let you record the door on your NVR.
Built for outside
IP65 aluminium, −30 °C to +60 °C.
Black aluminium alloy front, IP65 rated against rain and dust, and a tamper alarm. 185 × 84.5 × 24 mm, so it fits mullions and narrow frames.
Surface-mounts as supplied. For a flush finish add the black R20K in-wall kit, and fit the black on-wall rain hood on exposed elevations.

Access
PIN, card, NFC or app.
The 13.56 MHz and 125 kHz reader takes EM, MIFARE and DESFire EV1 / EV2 / EV3 credentials, plus NFC from Android phones. It stores up to 25,000 cards, 5,000 PINs and 5,000 users.
Two relays drive two doors or a door and a gate. Two inputs, selectable Wiegand in/out and RS485 connect exit buttons, door sensors and access controllers.
How it works
From keyed-in flat to open door.
01
Mount
Surface-mount as supplied, or fit the black R20K in-wall kit for flush. Add the black rain hood where the door is exposed.
02
PoE and SIP
Run 802.3af PoE to the RJ45, then register the station to Akuvox indoor monitors, SmartPlus or your SIP PBX.
03
Enrol credentials
Load cards, PINs and room numbers in the web portal, or import an access table: up to 25,000 cards and 5,000 PINs.
04
Test the door
Place a call, check the picture day and night, and confirm each relay releases the right lock.

Answers
Common questions
How is the black R20K different from the silver R20K?
Only the finish. Both have the same keypad, 2 MP camera, card reader, relays and IP65 housing. Use black mounting accessories for a matching look.
How is the R20K different from the R25K?
Same keypad, reader and 185 × 84.5 × 24 mm housing. The R20K has a 2 MP camera covering 110° × 58°; the R25K has a 4 MP fisheye covering 150° × 150°.
How many cards and PINs does it hold?
Up to 25,000 cards, 5,000 PINs and 5,000 users. EM (125 kHz), MIFARE and DESFire EV1 / EV2 / EV3 cards all work, and access tables can be exported and imported.
Can I open the door from my phone?
Yes. Akuvox SmartPlus app users can answer calls and unlock, and Android phones can also unlock over NFC.
What power does it need?
IEEE 802.3af PoE from a switch or injector. There is no separate DC input on this model.
Can it be flush-mounted or angled?
Yes. Use the R20K / R25K / R20B in-wall kit for a flush finish, or the rotatable angle bracket to turn a surface-mounted station towards the path.
Will it record to my existing NVR?
Yes. The R20K supports ONVIF and RTSP, so most ONVIF-capable NVRs can add it as a camera channel.
Is an indoor monitor included?
No. Pair it with a compatible Akuvox indoor monitor, the SmartPlus app or any SIP endpoint.
The compact keypad station.
Choose the black R20K where a dark panel suits the façade; the silver R20K has identical electronics in bright aluminium.
Installation & safety notice
Low-voltage product (SELV). Power from IEEE 802.3af PoE. 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.
