Akuvox A01 IP RFID & NFC Access Control Reader with PoE

Akuvox A01 IP RFID & NFC Access Control Reader (PoE)

The Akuvox A01 is a compact, IP-based access control terminal that combines a card reader and door controller in a single weatherproof unit. Designed for both commercial and residential entry points, it lets installers avoid running separate controller and reader hardware, simplifying wiring and reducing overall project cost. With dual credential support for RFID cards and NFC-enabled smartphones, the A01 gives building operators a flexible, touch-friendly way to manage who comes and goes.

Key Features

• Dual-frequency RFID reader supporting 125kHz and 13.56MHz cards, covering most common card types in use today
• NFC smartphone access for a touchless, cardless credential option alongside traditional cards
• Integrated door controller that triggers a relay to lock or unlock a connected door strike or maglock when a valid credential is presented
• Large capacity of up to 20,000 stored cards and 100,000 event logs for detailed access history
• Wiegand output support for integration with third-party access control panels
• Powered via PoE (802.3af) or DC 12V, simplifying cabling with a single Ethernet run for data and power
• IP65-rated, tamper-resistant enclosure rated for outdoor use from -20°C to +55°C
• Cloud-ready and compatible with the Akuvox ACMS platform and SmartPlus app for remote access management
• Configurable via standard web browser, with no proprietary software required for setup

Ideal Applications

The A01 suits apartment buildings, offices, gated communities, and commercial entrances where a single compact reader needs to double as a door controller. Its IP65 housing and wide operating temperature range make it equally suitable for covered outdoor entries, car park gates, and internal doors requiring RFID or mobile-based access. Because it integrates with the Akuvox ACMS platform, it also works well alongside existing Akuvox intercoms and video door phones for a unified access ecosystem.
