Answers
Common questions
Is a mounting kit included?
No. Order the R27 / R28 on-wall kit for surface mounting or the R27 / R28 in-wall kit for flush mounting.
How is the R28A different from the R20K?
The R28A adds a 4.3″ colour screen, a WDR camera, a third relay and input, and higher card capacity, in a larger 280 × 130 mm panel.
What power does it need?
IEEE 802.3af PoE from a switch or injector. A 12 V / 400 mA output can run a small reader or lock accessory.
How many residents and cards does it hold?
Up to 5,000 users, 25,000 cards and 5,000 PINs, with access tables exported and imported through the web portal.
Will it work in cold or exposed sites?
It is rated −40 °C to +55 °C and IP65. Add the R27 / R28 rain cover on elevations that face the weather.
Will it record to my NVR?
Yes. The R28A supports ONVIF and RTSP, so ONVIF-capable NVRs can add it as a camera channel.
What mounting height does Akuvox show?
The R28 drawings place the camera centre at 1,500 mm and the bottom of the panel at 1,259 mm above ground.
Does this model support a hearing-aid induction loop?
No. Akuvox makes a separate R28A induction loop version; this SKU is the standard model.
The screen-guided apartment station.
Choose the R28A over the compact R20K when visitors need on-screen guidance, or when you need a third relay and higher card capacity.
