Akuvox E16C · 5″ Face Recognition · SIP Door Phone & Access Control
Akuvox E16C Face Recognition Access Control Terminal — Australian Stock & 2-Year Warranty
The Akuvox E16C is a commercial-grade SIP video door phone and IP access control terminal in one. Powered by the latest deep-learning AI face recognition with dual-camera liveness detection, a 5-inch touchscreen and a 2MP WDR camera, it gives staff and residents fast, contactless entry by face, card, PIN, NFC, Bluetooth or QR code — all in a tough IP65 surface-mount housing built for the door.

AI Face Recognition You Can Trust
The latest deep-learning algorithm combined with dual-camera liveness detection unlocks the door in under 200ms while rejecting photos and video spoofing — secure, contactless entry that just works for staff, tenants and visitors.
Six Ways Through the Door
Give every user the method that suits them: AI face, RFID/NFC card (13.56MHz), PIN code, Bluetooth (BLE) and QR code. Flexible multi-credential access keeps high-traffic entrances moving.
Built Tough for the Front Door
An IP65-rated plastic housing handles rain and dust, while a built-in tamper alarm and a -20°C to +55°C operating range mean the E16C performs reliably in real Australian outdoor conditions, surface-mounted to any wall.
Integrates With Your System
Standard SIP and ONVIF compliance means two-way audio and video over your IP network, while Wiegand and RS485 ports plus a relay output and alarm input let the E16C drop straight into existing access-control infrastructure.

Good to Know — Model Variants
› Standard E16C: face, card, PIN, NFC, BLE and QR-code access.
› E16C (MD01) adds mask detection; E16C (MD02) adds mask detection and forehead body-temperature measurement (0.3–1m, ±0.3°C).
› Contact us if you need the temperature/mask-detection variant for your site.
Installation Notes
› Powered by 802.3af PoE over a single Cat6 lead, or a 12V DC supply where PoE isn't available.
› Surface-mounts to any wall at the entrance; pair with an Akuvox indoor monitor or the SmartPlus app.
› Wiegand, RS485, relay output and alarm input let it integrate with existing access-control hardware and electric strikes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do people open the door?
By AI face recognition, RFID/NFC card, PIN code, Bluetooth (BLE) or QR code — choose whichever method suits each user.
Is the face recognition secure against photos?
Yes. Dual-camera liveness detection rejects photo and video spoofing, recognising real faces in under 200ms.
Can it be installed outdoors?
Yes — it carries an IP65 rating, a tamper alarm and a -20°C to +55°C operating range for reliable outdoor use.
How is it powered?
Via 802.3af PoE over a single network cable, or a 12V DC supply where PoE isn't available.
Does it work as a video intercom too?
Yes. It's SIP and ONVIF compliant with a 2MP WDR camera and two-way audio, so it doubles as a video door phone.
How many users can it store?
Up to 20,000 faces, 20,000 cards and a 50,000-entry event log.
Can it integrate with existing access control?
Yes — it includes Wiegand and RS485 ports plus a relay output and alarm input for integration with strikes, controllers and sensors.
Does it measure body temperature?
The standard E16C does not. The E16C (MD01) adds mask detection and the E16C (MD02) adds mask detection plus forehead temperature measurement — ask us for the MD variant.
Is the E16C NDAA compliant?
Akuvox publishes an official NDAA compliance statement and its products are not named on the U.S. Section 889 list. Request the latest documentation for project-specific requirements.
