Akuvox · installed by Safeguard

The Akuvox difference
A SIP video intercom, not a doorbell kit.
Akuvox is specified for the door, the wiring and the people who use it. Safeguard installs it under a Master Licence so entry, CCTV and access can sit in one design.
-
SIP video at the door
See and speak to visitors before you unlock. This is a proper video intercom, not a consumer doorbell stuck on the facade.
-
Upgrade on 2-wire you already have
Many Sydney apartments and older homes can keep existing 2-wire runs. We confirm that on site before anyone chases new cable.
-
Open stack, one installer
ONVIF cameras, access readers and the intercom can be planned together, so you are not juggling three contractors at the front door.
Answer and unlock from SmartPlus
SmartPlus is the Akuvox app for video calls, remote unlock and visitor codes. Quotes, photos and approvals still sit in your Safeguard customer portal.
- See and speak to visitors on your phone
- Unlock the door or gate when you choose
- Issue and revoke temporary access codes
- Owner, resident and staff roles after we set it up
The Products
Common Akuvox components we may include in your design.
Every door is different. Exact devices depend on the entry, existing cable and how many people need to answer or unlock. We spec the station, monitor and credentials after the site check — not from a catalogue page.

Akuvox door station
Outdoor video phone
The face of the system. Visitors call, you see them, then you unlock. Weather-rated stations for houses, apartments and commercial entries.
Indoor monitor
Answer at home
Wall monitor so someone can take the call without picking up a phone. Still works locally if the internet drops.
Access reader
Cards, fobs, codes
Residents and staff can unlock without a call. We match credentials to how the building already works.
2-wire upgrade kit
Keep existing cable
Where the run is sound, we convert old 2-wire intercoms to IP video instead of recabling the whole building.
Property Fit
Specified for the door you actually have.
House, strata or commercial — the station, wiring path and who can unlock all change. We design around that, then install it.
House or townhouse
Front door or gate station, indoor monitor and phone answering. Add a second entry if the property needs it.
Strata and apartments
Directory panels, per-unit call routing and building-manager access, planned around strata and fire-egress rules. 2-wire reuse where it is sound.
Commercial entries
Verified visitors, remote release for deliveries, and readers for staff — integrated with CCTV and access when the site needs both.
How installation works
Four steps from site check to SmartPlus handover.
-
Site check
We look at the door, gate and existing cable before anyone specs hardware.
-
Spec IP or 2-wire
Reuse sound 2-wire, or plan a new IP run when the pair will not carry video.
-
Install
Door station, indoor monitor and readers fitted and tested on the entry.
-
SmartPlus handover
App users, codes and roles set up. Quotes stay in your Safeguard portal.

| Feature | Video doorbell | Recable everything | Akuvox with Safeguard |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | Consumer doorbell on Wi-Fi | New Cat6 to every station | SIP video intercom, specified and installed |
| Existing 2-wire | Usually ignored | Pulled out and replaced | Reused when the run is sound |
| Unlock and visitors | App-only, often one household | Depends on whatever you buy next | Phone, indoor monitor, codes and roles |
| Strata / multi-tenant | Poor fit | Disruptive and slow | Directory, unit routing, manager access |
| CCTV and access | Separate DIY add-ons | Still needs a second specialist | One licensed installer, open stack |
| Best next step | Fine for a rental doorbell | Only when cable genuinely fails | Start a quote for your door |
Akuvox FAQs.
Yes. After we set up SmartPlus, a call at the door or gate reaches your smartphone so you can see the visitor, speak to them and unlock from anywhere with an internet connection.
The door station and indoor monitor keep talking to each other on the local network. Remote answering on your phone needs internet; the wall monitor still takes the call.
Often, especially in apartments and older homes with 2-wire cabling. We assess the run on site and only recable when the existing pair will not carry a reliable video upgrade.
Yes. We design directory panels, per-unit call routing and building-manager access around fire-egress and strata requirements, then install and hand over SmartPlus roles.
Yes. You can release the door from the app, and many designs include temporary codes you issue and revoke for cleaners, couriers and contractors.
