- Description
Product Overview
The Akuvox E18C is a high-performance 7-inch SIP face recognition door phone engineered for complete perimeter access control and rich video communications. Built around a large, vibrant 7-inch IPS touchscreen, the E18C gives visitors and staff an intuitive interface for quick navigation and seamless door operation. Combining cutting-edge visible light facial recognition with dual cameras and advanced liveness anti-spoofing algorithms, it protects commercial and residential access points against unauthorized photo and video spoofing attempts.
Designed for large-scale enterprise deployments, the E18C accommodates a substantial database storing up to 20,000 face templates and 20,000 proximity cards with rapid recognition speeds of under 0.2 seconds per user. In addition to facial authentication, it supports dual-frequency RFID (13.56MHz and 125kHz), PIN codes, NFC, BLE, and dynamic QR codes. Built into an IP65-rated weatherproof housing with Power over Ethernet (802.3af PoE) support, the E18C delivers standalone reliability or deep integration through Total Security Equipment.

Choosing the Right Model
Choose this model (E18C) if…
- You want a larger 7-inch display for improved directory visibility and touchscreen navigation.
- You require dual-frequency card support (125kHz + 13.56MHz) to support existing keycards.
Choose a different model if…
- A more compact display is preferred. The Akuvox E16C offers a 5-inch display for tighter wall locations.
- A basic single-button door phone is needed. The E12W or E12S provides a compact footprint for sites that don't need touchscreen biometric terminals.
FAQs
1. What is the primary difference between the E18C and the E16C?
The E18C features a larger 7-inch touchscreen (vs. 5-inch on E16C), expanded relay I/O contacts (3 In / 2 Out), and dual-frequency RFID card support (125kHz and 13.56MHz).
2. How fast and accurate is the face recognition technology?
The E18C identifies registered users in under 0.2 seconds per scan with an accuracy rate exceeding 99.5%.
3. Does the E18C support legacy 125kHz RFID access cards?
Yes, the multi-frequency RF reader supports 125kHz cards, 13.56MHz smart cards, NFC, and BLE credentials on the same unit.
