Akuvox E16C is a slim facial recognition door phone with a 5″ touchscreen. Dual 2 MP cameras with liveness detection recognise a face in under 200 ms, and residents can also use a card, PIN, NFC, Bluetooth or a QR code. IP65 plastic body, PoE.
The AK-E16C is Akuvox’s E16C: intercom and access control in an 88 mm-wide IP65 body. Staff and residents walk up and are recognised in under 200 ms; visitors dial on the 5″ touchscreen and talk over SIP.
This SKU is the door station only.
You receive the E16C door phone with its wall-mounting bracket. Indoor monitors, the in-wall box, rain hood, MD02 temperature module, PoE switch and lock hardware are sold separately.
Face, PIN, card, NFC, BLE or a QR code — each person uses whatever suits them, and every entry lands in the 50,000-event log.
Access
Up to 20,000 users, 20,000 face templates, 20,000 cards and 20,000 PINs. The 13.56 MHz reader handles cards and Android NFC; BLE 5.0 and QR codes cover phones and visitors.
Dual 2 MP cameras with liveness detection recognise a face in under 200 ms at 99.7% accuracy, and the E16C can flag visitors without a mask.
Screen
The 720 × 1280 IPS touchscreen shows the face frame, the dial pad and the contact list, so visitors can call a flat or enter a PIN without instructions.
Two-way audio with echo cancellation keeps calls clear. Calls go over SIP to Akuvox indoor monitors, the SmartPlus app or a SIP PBX.
Install
192 × 88 × 23.8 mm, IP65, −20 °C to +55 °C. Surface-mount on the supplied bracket, or flush-mount with the E16 / A05 in-wall kit.
One relay and one input drive a lock and exit button; Wiegand and RS485 connect a third-party reader or controller. Add the MD02 module for forehead temperature checks.
How it works
01
Fix the wall bracket, or set the E16 in-wall box for a flush finish. Add the rain hood on exposed doors.
02
Run 802.3af PoE to the RJ45 and register the E16C 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 the relay releases the lock.

Works with
As a SIP endpoint the E16C 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.
The selectable Wiegand port and RS485 connect a third-party access controller, reader or Akuvox relay module.

Answers
E16C has a 5″ screen, 1 relay, 1 input and a 13.56 MHz reader in an 88 mm-wide body. E18C has a 7″ screen, 2 relays, 3 inputs, 13.56 MHz and 125 kHz cards, a TF slot and an IK07 rating.
E16C uses two cameras for liveness detection, which is designed to reject printed photos and screens. Recognition takes under 200 ms at 99.7% accuracy.
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.
13.56 MHz cards and fobs such as MIFARE, plus NFC from Android phones. It does not read 125 kHz EM cards — the E18C does.
Yes, with the E16 / A05 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, the E16C 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.
Yes. The E16C is ONVIF compliant, so a compatible NVR can add the door camera as a channel.
Choose E16C for offices, townhouse gates and apartment lobbies where the frame is narrow and a 5″ screen is enough. Step up to E18C for a 7″ screen, two relays and 125 kHz cards.
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.
