Akuvox · S538 · Android facial recognition door phone

An 8-inch door phone that sees every detail.
Three cameras, one flat aluminium panel.

The AK-S538 is Akuvox’s 8-inch Android 12 facial recognition door station. A 5 MP starlight main camera, a liveness camera and a dedicated QR camera sit above a bright touchscreen, with dual microphones, three relays and a dual-frequency card reader in a 297 × 136 mm aluminium panel.

This SKU is the S538 door station only.

You receive the S538 main unit with its wiring accessories. Choose the S538 on-wall or in-wall installation kit — sold separately, as are rain covers, indoor monitors, PoE switch and lock hardware.

Recognised at the door, whatever the light.

Residents walk up and are recognised by face; visitors call from the directory; couriers and guests scan a QR code. Bluetooth modes such as shake-to-open, hands-free entry and the Akuvox Bkey suit residents who prefer not to use a card.

Cameras

5 MP starlight, liveness and QR.

The 5 MP main camera with HDR and starlight sensitivity records up to 2880 × 1620 at 25 fps across a 120° (H) / 64° (V) view. A separate liveness camera tells real people from photos or videos.

A third camera reads QR codes for visitor passes. Radar plus image motion detection flags activity at the door, with zones and distances set by the property manager.

Screen and audio

Readable in sunlight, heard over traffic.

The 8-inch IPS touchscreen (800 × 1280) runs at 650 nit so the directory stays legible in direct sun.

Dual microphones with noise reduction pick up visitors from up to 5 metres away, even on a noisy street. Echo cancellation and G.722 wideband audio keep calls clear.

Access

Face, QR, card, PIN or Bluetooth.

Up to 50,000 face templates, 250,000 cards and 50,000 PINs are held on the station. The reader handles 13.56 MHz and 125 kHz cards including EM, MIFARE, DESFire EV1 / EV2 / EV3 and FeliCa.

BLE 5.0 supports hands-free entry, shake-to-open and the Akuvox Bkey fob. Three relays and three inputs drive the door, a gate and an exit button from one station.

How it works

From bare wall to recognised face.

01

Fit the kit

Install the S538 on-wall or in-wall kit; the 15° angled screw fixing makes it easier to work close to the wall.

02

Wire and power

Connect PoE 802.3at or 24 V DC, then the lock relays, exit button and door sensor inputs.

03

Register and enrol

Register to Akuvox indoor monitors, SmartPlus or your SIP PBX, then enrol faces, cards and PINs.

04

Test the door

Check face and QR entry day and night, make a test call and confirm each relay releases its lock.

Answers

Common questions

Is a mounting kit included?

No. Use the S538 on-wall or in-wall installation kit, sold separately. Matching rain covers are also available.

What power does it need?

IEEE 802.3at PoE or a 24 V DC / 2 A supply. Standard 802.3af PoE is not enough.

Can photos fool the face reader?

The S538 has a dedicated liveness camera that distinguishes real people from photos or videos.

What temperature range does it cover?

This version is rated −20 °C to +55 °C. Akuvox also mentions a cold-resistant version down to −40 °C; ask us if your site needs it.

How is it different from the S535?

The S538 has an 8″ Android screen, a 5 MP starlight camera, a separate QR camera, three relays and larger capacity. The S535 is a 5″ Linux station with one relay and an expansion port.

A big screen for a busy front door.

Choose the S538 for apartment lobbies, offices and gated sites that want an 8-inch Android station with QR and facial recognition. Order through Infront Technologies for Australian stock and help pairing monitors, kits and lock control.

Installation & safety notice

Low-voltage product (SELV). Power from IEEE 802.3at PoE or a 24 V DC / 2 A supply as stated on the Akuvox S538 datasheet. A 12 V DC / 0.5 A output is available for a small lock or reader.

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.
