Akuvox E18C is a 7″ facial recognition door phone for apartment, office and gate entries. Dual 2 MP cameras with liveness detection recognise a face in under 200 ms, alongside card, PIN, NFC, BLE and QR code entry. Two relays, IP65 / IK07, PoE.
The AK-E18C is Akuvox’s E18C: SIP intercom and access control behind a 7″ touchscreen. Residents are recognised as they walk up; visitors find a name, call and talk on video.
This SKU is the door station only.
You receive the E18C door phone with its wall-mounting bracket. Indoor monitors, the in-wall kit, rain hood, MD02 temperature module, PoE switch and lock hardware are sold separately.
Face, PIN, EM or MIFARE card, NFC, BLE, QR code or the SmartPlus app — and every entry is logged, up to 50,000 events.
Screen
The 600 × 1024 IPS touchscreen shows the face frame, contacts and a dial pad. Visitors call a flat in a couple of taps; residents enter a PIN or scan a QR code.
Calls run over SIP to Akuvox indoor monitors, the SmartPlus app or a SIP PBX, with echo-cancelled two-way audio and ONVIF video.
Access
Dual 2 MP cameras with liveness detection recognise faces at 99.7% accuracy and can flag visitors without a mask. Up to 20,000 users, faces, cards and PINs.
The reader takes 13.56 MHz and 125 kHz cards (EM and MIFARE) plus Android NFC; BLE 5.0 and QR codes cover phones and guests.
Install
275 × 120 × 34.6 mm, IP65 and IK07, −20 °C to +55 °C. Surface-mount on the supplied bracket or flush-mount with the E18 in-wall kit.
Two relays and three inputs run two locks with exit buttons; two Wiegand ports and RS485 link readers and access controllers. There is also a TF card slot. Add MD02 for forehead temperature checks.
How it works
01
Fix the wall bracket, or set the E18 in-wall kit for a flush finish. Add the rain hood on exposed entries.
02
Run 802.3af PoE to the RJ45 and register the E18C with indoor monitors, SmartPlus or your SIP PBX.
03
Add users, faces, cards, PINs and QR codes in the web portal or Akuvox cloud.
04
Check face recognition in the real light at the door and confirm each relay releases the right lock.

Flush
Recesses the E18C into the wall for a flush finish.
Weather
Shelters the screen and cameras on an exposed entry.

Adds contactless forehead temperature screening at 0.3–1 m.
Indoor
Residents answer, see the visitor and release the door from an Akuvox SIP indoor monitor or the SmartPlus app.
Works with
As a SIP endpoint the E18C calls Akuvox indoor monitors, IP phones or extensions on your own PBX.
ONVIF compliance lets a compatible NVR record the door camera alongside your CCTV.
Residents answer calls and open the door from the SmartPlus app, and managers issue PINs, QR codes and faces remotely.
Two selectable Wiegand ports and RS485 connect third-party readers, access controllers or Akuvox relay modules.

Answers
E18C has a 7″ screen, 2 relays, 3 inputs, a 13.56 MHz and 125 kHz reader, two Wiegand ports, a TF slot and IK07. E16C has a 5″ screen, 1 relay, 1 input and a 13.56 MHz reader in an 88 mm-wide body.
13.56 MHz MIFARE and 125 kHz EM cards and fobs, plus NFC from Android phones — handy when an older site already uses EM credentials.
Up to 20,000 users, 20,000 face templates, 20,000 cards and 20,000 PINs, with 1,000 contacts and a 50,000-record event log.
E18C uses two cameras for liveness detection, which is designed to reject printed photos and screens. Recognition takes under 200 ms at 99.7% accuracy.
Yes. Two relays and three inputs run two locks with exit buttons or door sensors from one panel.
Yes, with the E18 in-wall kit (sold separately). It surface-mounts on the supplied bracket, and the on-wall rain hood suits exposed surface installs.
Only with the optional MD02 forehead module fitted, which reads at 0.3–1 m to ±0.3 °C. Without it, E18C can still detect whether a visitor is wearing a mask.
IEEE 802.3af PoE, or a 12 V DC supply if PoE is not available.
Choose E18C over E16C when you want the bigger screen, two doors from one panel and 125 kHz card support.
Low-voltage product (SELV). Power from IEEE 802.3af PoE or a 12 V DC supply. 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.
