Akuvox E20S Stainless Steel IP Vandal-Resistant Emergency Intercom

Akuvox E20S IP Vandal-Resistant Emergency Intercom

The Akuvox E20S is a compact, panic-button SIP intercom built for environments where reliability and toughness matter more than fancy features. Housed in solid 316-grade stainless steel and rated IK10 for impact resistance, it is purpose-built for unattended public areas such as transit platforms, car parks, lifts, and shopping centre corridors where a single, unmistakable point of emergency contact is required. Power over Ethernet keeps installation simple, while flush mounting into a standard single in-wall box keeps the unit low-profile and tamper resistant.

• Single panic button design for fast, unambiguous emergency call initiation
• Two-way audio with echo cancellation for clear, natural-sounding conversations

• Power over Ethernet (IEEE802.3af) for single-cable installation without a dedicated power supply
• Group conference call support, enabling a single button press to alert multiple monitoring stations
• Compact flush-mount body (approximately 100 x 100 x 38 mm) compatible with 1299 and 86-type single in-wall boxes
• Linux-based operating system with DHCP or static IP network configuration and NTP time sync

Built for High-Risk, High-Traffic Environments

Because it strips communication back to essential audio-only calling, the E20S is ideal wherever a rugged, low-maintenance emergency point-of-contact is needed rather than a full video intercom. Typical deployments include railway and metro platforms, multi-storey car parks, lift lobbies, school and campus corridors, retail loading docks, and other unattended or semi-public areas where staff or security teams need an instant audio link to anyone pressing the button. Its stainless steel construction and IK10 rating mean it can be installed at ground level or in exposed locations without compromising on durability.
