FAQ
Why pay the premium for X915 over X912S?
Three reasons: (1) 8″ screen vs 4″ — significantly better visitor experience and visual integration with architecture; (2) Dual starlight camera vs single — much better low-light performance for night arrivals; (3) Android OS — supports broader app ecosystem and ONVIF integration with NVRs.
Can the X915 integrate with Control4 or Crestron?
Yes, via the Akuvox SDK. We do this build often for luxury residential. RS485 + relay outputs handle the physical integration; SDK handles the app/scene integration.
Does the X915 support ONVIF for NVR recording?
Yes. The X915 publishes ONVIF-compatible camera stream, so your Dahua, Hanwha, or Verkada NVR can record the door-station video alongside CCTV cameras.
What warranty applies?
Akuvox standard hardware warranty (24 months) plus Intercom Solutions workmanship (12 months).
