User-Friendly Interface and Mobile Control

One of Akuvox's most valued features is its intuitive touchscreen interface. Residents and visitors can navigate access and communication functions without training — whether granting entry to a guest, calling the front desk, or reviewing visitor logs.

The Akuvox SmartPlus mobile app extends this convenience further, allowing authorised users to:

  • Answer video calls and remotely unlock doors from anywhere
  • Receive push notifications for visitor arrivals
  • Manage access credentials and temporary access codes
  • View live or recorded video from entry panels

This level of remote control is particularly valuable for property managers overseeing multiple sites across New Zealand.

  • QR code and PIN access — ideal for visitor management and temporary credentials
  • RFID/NFC card reader support — compatible with Mifare, EM, and HID card formats
  • Remote unlock — via app, web portal, or integrated access control platform
  • Tamper detection and vandal-resistant housing — built for exposed or public-facing installations
  • Integration with third-party access control systems — including Genetec, Milestone, and Lenel

Continuous Innovation: Staying Ahead of the Curve

Akuvox's R&D investment is reflected in a product roadmap that consistently introduces capabilities ahead of market demand. Recent advancements include:

  • AI-powered facial recognition with liveness detection to prevent spoofing
  • 4K and HD video for crystal-clear visitor identification
  • Noise-cancelling audio for reliable communication in high-ambient-noise environments
  • Smart home and BMS integration via open APIs and third-party platform support
  • Firmware over-the-air (OTA) updates to keep devices current without on-site visits

For New Zealand integrators and end users, this means a long-term investment that evolves with your building's needs rather than becoming obsolete.
