Integration via Wiegand
The Wiegand feature enables the Akuvox device to act as a controller or a card reader.
Set it up on the web Device > Wiegand > 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. It is automatically configured.
Wiegand Transfer Mode:
Input: The device serves as a receiver.
Output: The device serves as a sender. If users can only open the door by swiping an RF card, select the Wiegand transfer mode as Output.
Convert To Card No. Output: The device serves as a sender. If users are assigned multiple door-opening methods, select the Wiegand transfer mode as Convert To Card No. Output.
Wiegand Input Clear Time: When the interval of entering passwords exceeds the time. All entered passwords will be cleared.
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 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 Enabled: It is enabled by default for Wiegand data inspection. Disabling it may lead to integration failure with third-party devices.
RF Card Verification: When enabled, the device will verify whether the card is assigned to a user. If it is not, a prompt "Opening Door Failed" will pop up on the door phone screen but the door can still be opened. When disabled, the door phone will not perform local verification.
When the device is in Wiegand Output mode, you can set the Wiegand PIN code output format that determines how data are transmitted. The format should be consistent with that of the third-party device.
Set it up on the Convert To Wiegand Output section.
8 bits per digit: When users press "1" on the keypad, the binary data will be transmitted in 8 bits "11100001".
4 bits per digit: When users press "1" on the keypad, the binary data will be transmitted in 4 bits "0001".
All at once: After users enter the whole PIN code, the data will be transmitted according to the Wiegand card reader mode.

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: It is Digest by default. You are required to fill in the username and password for the authentication. In the Authorization field of the HTTP request header, use the Base64 encode method to encode the username and password.
User Name: 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 allowlist is suitable for operation in the LAN. |
4 | Basic | If this mode is selected, you are required to fill in the username and password for the authentication. In the Authorization field of the HTTP request header, use the Base64 encode method to encode of username and password. |
5 | Digest | The password encryption method only supports MD5. MD5( Message-Digest Algorithm) in Authorization field of HTTP request header: WWW-Authenticate:Digest realm="HTTPAPI",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 Access Control > Relay > 12V Power Output interface.
Power Output Type:
Always: Provide continuous power to the third-party device.
Triggered by Open Relay: Provide power to the third-party device via 12 output and GND interface during the timeout when the status of relays is shifted from low to high.
Security Relay A: The device can work with the security relay.
RS485 Setting
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 none OSDP-based devices.
