Common questions
- How many employees does the Akuvox E16C hold?
- The Akuvox E16C stores up to 2,000 enrolled records on the device. We check your headcount and peak-minute traffic before recommending it.
- How does the Akuvox E16C connect?
- It supports TCP/IP, RS-485, Wiegand, OSDP and SIP intercom. In UAE installations we normally run it on wired Ethernet, with Wi-Fi kept as the fallback where cabling is impractical.
- Can the Akuvox E16C be installed outdoors in the UAE?
- The manufacturer rates it IP65 confirmed by Akuvox, IK06 per a distributor listing. Fitting the MD02 temperature module makes the unit unsuitable for outdoor use. We still specify a shade hood on elevations that take direct midday sun, which extends screen and sensor life.
- What software runs the Akuvox E16C?
- Linux based platform, Akuvox Cloud portal and SmartPlus app, third-party SIP PBX integration. We connect the attendance data through to payroll and produce a WPS-ready export, so the punches become a payable file rather than a report someone has to retype.
- Do you install and support the Akuvox E16C across the UAE?
- Yes. We supply, install, configure, train your team and support it across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain. Call +971 54 707 9900 for a fixed written quote.
