Akuvox door phones and access control terminals can be integrated with the IVSEC NC529XA License Plate Recognition (LPR) Camera to enable automatic garage door access.
To configure the integration, first assign one or more vehicle licence plates to a user on the Akuvox access device. Next, configure the IVSEC camera to transmit recognised licence plate data to the Akuvox device using the HTTP API. When the camera detects a licence plate that matches a plate assigned to a user on the device, the garage door will automatically open.
Screenshots below are from an Akuvox A08S running firmware version 108.30.11.213
The integration process consists of the following three steps:
- Enable the HTTP API on the Akuvox access device.
In below example we are using no authentication
- You may need to untick "HHTP Redirect" under Network Advanced if you use HTTP as per step 9
- Assign licence plate information to a user on the Akuvox device. Check the relay connected to the door lock and apply the schedule within which the user is allowed to open the door.

For Cloud Projects
See the Compatibility table above to confirm your device supports this feature.
When the device is managed via SmartPlus/Smart Access Cloud, license plates are issued from the cloud instead of being entered locally on the device.
Depending on your project type, license plates can be added by:
- New commercial projects (created after Oct 15, 2024).
- Installers and project managers can add license plates via the Smart Access Property Management Portal.
- Administrators can add license plates via the Smart Access Administrator Portal.
- Community projects: Only property managers can add license plates via the SmartPlus Property Manager Portal.
- Single-house projects: End users can add license plates via their SmartPlus App.
LPR can also be used in Akuvox Smart Parking which is a feature available in the Property Manager Portal
