What's new with the Akuvox X912K Door Intercom?

The Akuvox X912K is a variant of the highly popular Akuvox X912 intercom, already known for its durability, video quality, and compatibility with modern access control platforms.

This latest version features:

A new tactile keypad layout
Improved usability for visually impaired users
Enhanced compliance with DDA guidelines and inclusive building standards

Designed with accessibility in mind

The update to the keypad may appear small, but it is significant for many users. The X912K includes:

Raised, spaced-out keys for tactile feedback
Improved symbol recognition
Usability improvements for those with impaired visibility

These features make the X912K suitable for public-facing buildings where accessibility is a legal requirement or a priority, such as:

Multi-tenant residential buildings
Retirement communities and assisted living
Healthcare environments
Government buildings and public sector offices

Ideal for Residential and Commercial Applications

According to Ashley Wilson, CIE’s in-house expert, the Akuvox X912 range is seeing widespread adoption across both the residential and commercial sectors due to its reliability and modular integration options. The X912K builds on this by ensuring the product is usable by as many people as possible.

"The X912 is already a trusted product. The X912K just makes it more inclusive and practical for real-world installations,” said Ashley during the live demonstration.

Why Equality Act Compliance Matters

DDA compliance refers to making services and environments more accessible to those with disabilities, in accordance with the UK's Equality Act 2010. For access control and intercom systems, this includes ensuring:

Physical interfaces are usable by blind or partially sighted users
Access is not limited to visual-only or touchscreen methods
Buildings are equipped to support a diverse user base

The Akuvox X912K Intercom with physical keypad supports these aims by making keypad navigation possible without requiring visual cues alone.
