Tamper Alarm
The tamper alarm function prevents anyone from removing the device without permission. Akuvox devices support two types of tamper proof: gravity detection and button status detection.
Click here to view which type is supported by the device and learn the function details.
To set it up, go to System > Security > Tamper Alarm interface.
Gravity Sensor Threshold: The threshold for gravity sensory sensitivity. The lower the value is, the more sensitive the sensor will be. It is 32 by default.
Security Notification
A security notification informs users or security personnel of any breach or threat that the device detects. For example, if the device detects something unusual, the system sends a notification to users or security through email.
Set up security notifications on the Setting > Action interface.
SMTP Server Address: The sender's SMTP server address.
SMTP User Name: The SMTP username is usually the same as the sender's email address.
SMTP Password: The password of the SMTP service is the same as the sender's email address.
Email Test: Used to test whether the email can be sent and received.
Action URL
You can use the device to send specific HTTP URL commands to the HTTP server for certain actions. These actions will be triggered when the relay status, input status, PIN code, or RF card access changes.

Web Interface Automatic Log-out
You can set up the web interface's automatic log-out timing, requiring re-login by entering the user name and the passwords for security purposes or for the convenience of operation.
To set it up, go to System > Security > Session Time Out interface.
High Security Mode
High security mode is designed to enhance the security. It employs encryption across various facets, including the communication process, door opening commands, password storage methods, and more.
Enable/disable the high-security mode on the System > Security interface.
Important Notes
1. The High Security mode is off by default when you upgrade the device from a version without the mode to one with it. But if you reset the device to its factory settings, the mode is on by default.
2. This mode makes the old version tools incompatible. You need to upgrade them to the following versions or higher to use them.
- PC Manager: 1.2.0.0
- IP Scanner: 2.2.0.0
- Upgrade Tool: 4.1.0.0
- SDMC: 6.0.0.34
3. The supported HTTP format for relay triggering varies depending on whether high secure mode is enabled or disabled.
If the mode is on, the device only accepts the new HTTP formats below for door opening.
- http://username:password@deviceIP/fcgi/OpenDoor?action=OpenDoor&DoorNum=1
- http://deviceIP/fcgi/OpenDoor?action=OpenDoor&DoorNum=1
If the mode is off, the device can use both the new formats above and the old format below:
- http://deviceIP/fcgi/do?action=OpenDoor&UserName=username&Password=password&DoorNum=1
4. It is not allowed to import/export configuration files in tgz. format between a device with the high security mode and another one without it. For assistance with file transfer, please contact Akuvox technical support.
