Integration via Wiegand
The device can be integrated with third-party devices via Wiegand.
Set it up on the Device > Wiegand interface.
Wiegand Display Mode: Select the Wiegand card code format from the provided options.
Wiegand Card Reader Mode: The transmission format should be identical between the access control terminal and the third-party device.
Wiegand Transfer Mode:
Input: The device serves as a receiver.
Output: The device serves as a sender, sending the card data to a third-party device for door access.
Convert To Card No. Output: The device serves as a sender. The access data, including DTMF and RF card code, will be converted to card numbers for door access.
Wiegand Input Data Order: Set the Wiegand input data sequence between Normal and Reversed. If you select Reversed, then the input card number will be reversed.
Wiegand Output Basic Data Order: Set the sequence of the Wiegand output data.
Normal: The data is displayed as received.
Reversed: The order of the data bits is reversed.
Wiegand Output Data Order: Determine the sequence of the card number.
Normal: The card number is displayed as received.
Reversed: The order of the card number is reversed.
Wiegand Output CRC: It is enabled by default for Wiegand data inspection. Disabling it may lead to integration failure with third-party devices.

Integration with Milestone
If you want the door phone to be monitored by Milestone or any third-party devices that have been integrated with Milestone, you need to enable the feature.
Enable it on the Surveillance > ONVIF > Advanced Setting interface.
Integration via HTTP API
HTTP API is designed to achieve a network-based integration between the third-party device and the Akuvox device.
Set it up on the web Setting > HTTP API interface.
Enabled: Enable or disable the HTTP API function for third-party integration. If the function is disabled, any request to initiate the integration will be denied and return HTTP 403 forbidden status.
Authorization Mode: See the description for each option in the chart below.
Username: Enter the user name for authentication. The default is admin.
Password: Enter the password for authentication. The default is admin.
1st IP-5th IP: Enter the IP address of the third-party devices when the Allowlist authorization is selected for the integration.
Please refer to the following description for the authentication mode:
NO. | Authorization Mode | Description |
|---|---|---|
1 | None | No authentication is required for HTTP API as it is only used for demo testing. |
2 | Normal | This mode is used by Akuvox developers only. |
3 | Allowlist | If this mode is selected, you are only required to fill in the IP address of the third-party device for the authentication. The whitelist is suitable for operation in the LAN. |
4 | Basic | If this mode is selected, you are required to fill in the User name and the password for the authentication. In the Authorization field of the HTTP request header, use the Base64 encode method to encode the username and password. |
5 | Digest | The password encryption method only supports MD5(Message-Digest Algorithm). In the Authorization field of the Http request header:WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="HTTP API", qop="auth,auth-int", nonce="xx", opaque="xx". |
6 | Token | This mode is used by Akuvox developers only. |
Power Output Control
The device can serve as a power supply for the external relays.
To set it up, go to the Access Control > Relay > 12V Power Output interface.
12V Power Output: This function can only be used when the device is powered by a 12V power adapter.
Disabled: Turn off the function.
Always: Provide continuous power.
Triggered by Open Relay: Provide power to the third-party device when Relay A is triggered via its NO and GND ports. Stop providing the power when Relay A is reset.
Timeout(Sec): Set the time(3, 5, or 10 seconds) to provide power when Triggered by Open Relay is selected.
Integration via RS485
You can connect the device to an external device such as SR01 or an OSDP-based card reader via RS485. To make the connection effective, you need to select the right RS485 mode.
Click here to view the detailed configuration of the OSDP feature.
To set it up, go to the Device > RS485 interface.
Disabled: The RS485 function is disabled.
OSDP: The device is connected to an OSDP-based external device such as a card reader.
Encryption: Check this option when the protocol is encrypted.
SCBK Value: Secure Communication Key Value.
When it is filled, OSDP will use this value for encryption, employing a customized protocol for communication.
When it is left empty, OSDP will use the default encrypted protocol for communication.
Others: Select this option when the device works with the SR01 or other non-OSDP-based devices.
