Screen
A 7″ screen that guides every visitor.
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
Face in under 200 ms.
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; Bluetooth 5.0 and QR codes cover phones and guests.

Two doors, IP65 and IK07.
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.

Answers
Common questions
How is E18C different from E16C?
E18C has a 7″ screen, 2 relays, 3 inputs, a 13.56 MHz and 125 kHz reader, a TF slot and IK07. E16C has a 5″ screen, 1 relay and a 13.56 MHz reader in a narrower body.
Which cards does it read?
13.56 MHz MIFARE and 125 kHz EM cards, plus NFC from Android phones.
Can it be flush-mounted?
Yes, with the E18 in-wall kit, which is sold separately. It surface-mounts on the supplied bracket.
Does it measure temperature?
Only with the optional MD02 forehead temperature module fitted. Without it, E18C can still detect whether a visitor is wearing a mask.
What power does it need?
IEEE 802.3af PoE, or a 12 V DC supply if PoE is not available.
A 7″ face recognition entry, local stock.
Choose E18C over E16C when you want the bigger screen, two doors from one panel and 125 kHz card support. Order through Infront Technologies for Australian stock and setup advice.
Installation & safety notice
