CIE has added to its growing collection of industry accolades, this time picking-up the Best Security Solution at the Smart Building Awards 2021 for the highly innovative Akuvox R29 Smart IP Door Intercom.

The Smart Building Awards, which recognises the best in the UK residential AV & smart home industry, were held in Farnborough this September, in front of the industry’s leading integrators, distributors and manufacturers.

Akuvox is the latest brand to be added to the CIE product range and is one of the leading global brands for IP intercoms, access control and telephony equipment.

The Akuvox R29C is not your average metal box and keypad door intercom device; in fact there is no conventional keypad! This smart IP intercom device is controlled via the full colour 7″ capacitive touchscreen. The huge range of identification features are what makes the R29C/R29CB one of the most innovative IP Intercom devices yet. These features include: pin code access, concierge call button, multi-frequency RFID card reader and digital touchscreen phone book as standard.

But what makes the Akuvox R29C Smart Intercom so unique on the market is the inclusion of secure infrared face recognition identification and QR Code access scanning.
