Mr Secured installs the full Akuvox range — X912 7" video intercoms, R29 multi-tenant entrance panels, R20 series doorbells, IT83 indoor monitors, and the SmartPlus app. Face recognition, RFID, BLE app-unlock, and integration with the Dahua + Ajax stack. Used in single-family homes, granny flats, body-corporate buildings, and commercial entrances across Brisbane.
Akuvox is built for both single-family homes and large multi-tenant buildings, with the same SmartPlus app stack across the range. Below is what Mr Secured actually installs.
The flagship 7" Android-powered door panel. Face recognition, BLE app-unlock, RFID card, PIN code, and traditional doorbell button — five ways for the family to get in, all from one panel. 4K-grade door camera, IP65-rated for Brisbane storms.
The body-corporate door panel. Up to 10,000 unit lookups, building directory with photos, video call to any unit's indoor monitor or app. Vandal-proof IK10 housing. Used in apartment lobbies, gated communities, and commercial buildings.
The single-button video doorbell for a typical Brisbane home. Wide-angle camera, two-way audio, integrates with the SmartPlus app on your phone. Cleanest install pattern when you don't need a wall-mounted indoor monitor.
Wall-mounted answering monitor for inside the home. 7"–10" touchscreen. Handles incoming intercom calls, lets the family see and unlock for visitors without reaching for a phone. Optional integration with the Dahua NVR for live CCTV view on the same screen.
Standalone RFID + face-recognition access reader for commercial doors. Works without a video intercom panel — front door, side door, server room, warehouse roller door. Connects to the same SmartPlus management portal.
The mobile + cloud stack that ties it together. Family members get the SmartPlus app on their phone — answer the door, unlock, watch a stored snapshot. Property managers and body-corp committees get the management portal to add or remove residents, audit access, push firmware.
Ring doorbells are a $300 retail product. Akuvox is professional-grade access control. These six features are what you're paying the gap for.
Face recognition, RFID card, BLE phone proximity, PIN code, traditional button. Family members pick the method they prefer — kids use RFID tags, adults use face-rec, guests get a temporary PIN.
The R29 panel handles up to 10,000 unit lookups. Ring doorbells max out at one household. Akuvox is the brand body-corporate buildings actually choose because it scales.
SmartPlus app is free. Cloud management is free for property managers. Ring charges $15/month for cloud video; Akuvox doesn't. Footage and event log are local to the panel.
Akuvox panels can trigger Ajax alarm scenarios (auto-disarm when family unlocks), and the IT83 indoor monitor can show live Dahua NVR feeds. One unified app stack across CCTV + alarm + intercom.
Outdoor panels are IP65 (rain) + IK08–IK10 (impact). Brisbane storms, kids with cricket bats, and would-be intruders with hammers don't easily defeat the panel.
Akuvox panels are deployed in hotels, hospitals, and government sites worldwide. The hardware platform is the same one body-corporate buildings buy — built for 10,000+ unlock events a year, not 50.

Yes. Mr Secured de-mounts your existing doorbell, runs Cat6 cabling to the new Akuvox panel location (or re-uses serviceable existing cabling), mounts the new panel, configures the SmartPlus app on family phones, and trains you on the system. Typical 1-day install for a residential property.
Yes. The R29 entrance panel can be installed first with the existing tenant directory, then individual units can upgrade their indoor monitors to IT83 over time. Each unit's app access is managed through the cloud portal, so an owner moving in 6 months from now can be added without re-configuring the panel.
No. The SmartPlus app is free for residents. The management portal is free for property managers and body-corporate committees. Akuvox monetises through hardware, not recurring fees — unlike Ring, Eufy, or other consumer-brand video doorbells which charge $10–$20/month for cloud video.
The property manager (for body-corp) or homeowner (for residential) revokes the resident's app access through the SmartPlus portal — typically takes 30 seconds. Their face-rec template is deleted, their RFID card is deactivated, their app is logged out. The new resident gets fresh credentials. No system reset, no rekey of physical locks.
Yes, both. The IT83 indoor monitor can show live Dahua NVR feeds on the same touchscreen. Akuvox panels can trigger Ajax alarm scenarios — for example, auto-disarm the alarm when a family member unlocks the front door with face recognition. Mr Secured configures the integration at install time so the three systems behave as one.
Free on-site assessment. Itemised, fixed-price quote on the day. Residential, body-corporate, or commercial — no obligation, no monthly fees.
