Product Overview

The Akuvox R20BX5 SIP Video Door Phone is a versatile, multi-tenant outdoor intercom station designed to streamline access control and video communication for multi-occupant buildings. Featuring five individual, clearly labeled call buttons, the R20BX5 allows visitors to dial specific apartments, office suites, or departments directly without navigating complex digital menus or directories.

Enclosed in a durable weatherproof casing engineered for external entry points, the unit combines a wide-angle color video camera, hands-free full-duplex audio, an integrated RFID card reader for contactless user access, and dual independent relay outputs for driving electric door strikes and automatic gates. Built on open SIP standards for gateway-free integration with IP-PBX platforms, indoor monitors, and mobile apps, it is supplied directly through Total Security Equipment.

Key Capabilities

5 Direct-Call Buttons

Equipped with five programmable physical buttons with nameplate inserts for instant, one-touch visitor calling to individual units.

Open SIP Protocol Integration

Connects seamlessly into VoIP networks, IP-PBX systems, and SIP indoor touchscreens for flexible local or remote call routing.

Wide-Angle Color Camera

Captures clear high-definition video of entry zones to facilitate quick visual verification of arriving guests and couriers.

Dual Relay Output Control

Features two independent relays to manage multiple access barriers separately, such as a pedestrian latch and an automated vehicle gate.

Integrated RFID Access

Allows authorized residents or personnel to gain fast entry via contactless RFID proximity cards or keyfobs.

Weatherproof Surface Mount

Constructed with a rugged, weather-resistant enclosure designed for outdoor surface mounting at main entry doors or gate posts.

Best For

5-Unit Residential Blocks
Perfect for boutique apartment buildings or multi-family complexes requiring dedicated tenant buttons.
Commercial Office Suites
Allows visitors to ring specific business suites or departments (e.g., Reception, Logistics, Management) directly.
Shared Facilities & Clinics
Enables patient or customer access control for shared professional spaces and medical practices.
Dual-Barrier Gateways
Ideal for locations that require controlling both a pedestrian side door and a sliding vehicular gate.

Why Choose the R20BX5

For multi-tenant properties with up to five distinct occupants or offices, standard single-button door stations are insufficient, while large digital directory panels can be unnecessarily complex. The Akuvox R20BX5 offers the perfect middle ground—providing direct, physical one-touch calling for five units in a compact, weatherproof unit. Sourced through Total Security Equipment, it combines clear HD video, dual relay output flexibility, and proximity card access in an easy-to-use outdoor terminal.

Buyer Decision Tips

Confirm Tenant Count: Ensure your layout requires five or fewer call destinations. If you need more buttons or full numeric dialing, explore modular or digital touchscreen series options (such as the Akuvox X950 or R29 series).
Wiring & Power Layout: Verify that an Ethernet cable with PoE (Power over Ethernet) or standard local power wiring is available at the surface-mount installation site.

Choosing the Right Model

Choose this model (R20BX5) if…

  • You need to support up to 5 individual call buttons for separate tenants or departments.
  • You require dual relays to independently control two different entry points (e.g., door and gate).

Choose a different model if…

  • You only have a single tenant destination. Choose a single-button model like the R20A for single-residence or main reception doors.
  • You require PIN code or multi-tenant directories. Select models with digital touchscreens or numeric keypads if accommodating larger tenant lists.
