Akuvox devices can scan AES-encrypted QR codes for door opening. This allows you to generate and control QR codes on your own servers, encrypting them before transmission to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access.

Compatible models and versions(or higher):

  • A08: 108.30.11.19

  • X915V2: 2915.30.10.408

  • X912: 912.30.11.215

  • X910: 2910.30.11.21

  • S532: 532.30.10.272

  • E16V2: 216.30.11.25

  • E18: 18.30.10.247

For example, the key value of the QR code below is 81234567 before encryption. Assign the key to a specific user for door opening.

Note

  • Akuvox does not provide the QR code encryption/decryption tool. Please prepare it by yourself.

  • The key should comply to the PIN rules of Akuvox devices.
