Product Overview
The Akuvox R28 Surface Rain Cover is a purpose-built weather shield and surface-mount bracket for the Akuvox R28A (and compatible R27A) video door stations. Made from durable, lightweight aviation-grade aluminium, it shields the door station from rain, direct sun, and general weather exposure while providing a clean, surface-mounted installation on an external wall.
This is a simple, low-maintenance accessory for any Akuvox R28A/R27A installation that sits on an exposed entrance, carport, or gate pillar without a recessed wall cavity — extending the working life of the door station and keeping the camera lens and keypad clear in wet weather. Supplied directly through Total Security Equipment.
Key Capabilities
Aviation-Grade Aluminium
Lightweight yet durable aluminium construction resists corrosion and holds up to continuous outdoor exposure.
Surface-Mount Bracket
Mounts directly onto an external wall — no recessed cavity or in-wall box required, keeping installation straightforward.
Weather & Rain Protection
An angled rain visor deflects water away from the camera, keypad, and speaker to keep the door station working reliably in wet conditions.
Purpose-Built Fit
Designed specifically for the Akuvox R28A series (and compatible with R27A units) for a precise, factory-matched fit.
Best For
Front doors, carports, and driveway gates with no eave or awning overhead.
Freestanding pillars and boundary walls where the door station sits fully exposed to the weather.
New-build installations wanting weather protection from day one.
Retrofitting weather protection onto an R28A/R27A already installed on an exposed wall.
Why Choose the Akuvox R28 Surface Rain Cover
A door station is only as reliable as its weatherproofing lets it be. The R28 Surface Rain Cover pairs a factory-matched fit with lightweight aluminium construction, so it protects the camera and keypad without adding bulk to the installation. Available from Total Security Equipment.

Choosing the Right Accessory
Choose this rain cover if…
- Your Akuvox R28A/R27A is (or will be) surface-mounted directly onto an external wall.
- The installation has no recessed in-wall box.
- You want a lightweight, factory-matched weather shield rather than a generic cover.
Choose a different accessory if…
- Your door station is flush/in-wall mounted. Ask our team about the in-wall (flush-mount) rain cover variant instead.
- You have a different door station model. Confirm compatibility with our team before ordering — this cover is matched specifically to the R28A/R27A series.
