Key Capabilities
Dual Authentication Modes
Supports both RFID card reading (13.56 MHz & 125 kHz) and PIN passcode entry, enabling single or two-factor authentication workflows.
PoE & IP Networking
Communicates over Ethernet via TCP/IP and draws power directly over 802.3af PoE, minimizing wiring requirements to a single Cat5e/6 run.
IP65 & IK09 Weather Protection
Built with a dust-tight, water-jet resistant body rated IK09 for high impact protection, ideal for harsh outdoor or perimeter gate installations.
Centralized Remote Management
Allows real-time event logging, configuration backup, and remote administration through standard web portals or Akuvox Cloud / SDMC software.
Third-Party System Integration
Equipped with Wiegand and RS485 interfaces to seamlessly integrate with existing door controllers and third-party security management platforms.
