Product Overview
The Akuvox A05 Surface Rain Hood is a weatherproof housing built for the Akuvox A05 and E16C Smart IP Intercoms. Constructed from carbon steel with a black finish, its extended hood shields the intercom from rain, dust, and direct overhead sunlight — reducing camera glare and keeping the unit performing reliably through Melbourne's changing weather.
It's a surface-mount housing that includes a back box for wall installation, and it also accommodates a gooseneck pole mount for freestanding installations away from a wall. A practical, durable choice for any exposed A05 or E16C entrance point. Supplied directly through Total Security Equipment (intercom sold separately).
Key Capabilities
Carbon Steel Weather Housing
A durable carbon steel shell with a black finish stands up to continuous outdoor exposure and everyday wear.
Rain & Weather Protection
The extended hood design shields the intercom from rain, snow, and dust, keeping the camera and speaker clear in wet conditions.
Camera Glare Reduction
Blocks overhead sunlight and bright artificial light that would otherwise wash out the camera image.
Wall & Gooseneck Pole Mounting
Includes a surface-mount back box for wall installation, and also supports gooseneck pole mount setups for freestanding entry points.
Best For
Front doors, gates, and carports without an eave or awning overhead.
Freestanding entry points where the intercom mounts on a pole rather than a wall.
Reduces harsh afternoon sun glare that can wash out the camera image.
Adds weatherproofing and glare control from the outset of a new installation.
Why Choose the Akuvox A05 Surface Rain Hood
Weatherproofing and glare control both affect how reliably an intercom performs day to day. This rain hood addresses both with a durable carbon steel build and an extended visor, and its included back box means it's ready to install straight out of the box. Available from Total Security Equipment.
