Akuvox R20K-2 2-Wire Video Intercom Kit with 7" Monitor & Keypad

Akuvox R20K-2 2-Wire Video Intercom Kit with 7" Monitor & Keypad

The Akuvox 2-Wire Kit brings modern IP video intercom technology to buildings that still run on old two-core analogue cabling. Combining the compact R20K-2 keypad door station, the 7" C313-2 indoor touchscreen monitor, and the NS-2 video distributor, this kit lets installers upgrade legacy systems to full SIP-based video calling, remote unlocking, and mobile app access without pulling new cable through walls or risers.

Key Features

• True 2-wire operation: Power, audio, video and data all travel over a single existing 2-core cable, removing the need for costly rewiring.
• Numeric keypad entry: The R20K-2 door station includes a durable keypad for PIN-code access alongside video calling.
• Built-in RFID reader: Supports 13.56MHz and 125kHz cards or fobs for quick, secure resident access.
• HD camera with night vision: A wide-angle 110°(H)/58°(V) lens with automatic IR lighting delivers clear vision day and night.
• IP65 weatherproof housing: The outdoor station is built in aluminium alloy and rated for outdoor use in most climates.
• 7" touchscreen monitor: The C313-2 indoor unit offers a bright capacitive touch display for viewing callers and managing the system.
• SIP v2.0 protocol: Two-way audio and video calling that integrates cleanly with standard SIP-based intercom networks.
• NS-2 video distributor included: Converts the 2-wire signal so multiple indoor units and network features can be supported from one door station.
• Tamper alarm and door relay control: Adds an extra layer of physical security and flexible access control output.

Ideal for Retrofit Projects

This kit is best suited to renovation and refurbishment jobs where an older analogue or 2-wire intercom already exists and full rewiring isn't practical. It's a strong fit for townhouses, small apartment blocks, offices, and villas that want to move to IP-based video intercom with keypad and card access, while reusing the cabling already run through the walls. Installers get a straightforward swap-in upgrade path, and residents gain the benefits of a modern touchscreen monitor and (where supported) mobile app connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this kit replace my existing analogue intercom without new cabling?
Yes. The R20K-2, C313-2 and NS-2 are designed to run over the same 2-core cable typically found in older analogue intercom installations, so no rewiring is usually required.

Do I need any extra hardware to make this system work?
No additional network switch is required for basic 2-wire operation, as the NS-2 included in this kit handles the conversion between the 2-wire line and the door station and monitor.

Is the outdoor door station suitable for exposed outdoor locations?
The R20K-2 carries an IP65 rating, making it suitable for most external entryways, though a rain hood is recommended for locations with direct, heavy weather exposure.
