Frequently Asked Questions
Q&A
The MD12 is a 12-button nametag expansion module that attaches to a compatible Akuvox door phone, giving visitors a physical speed-dial panel with printed names next to each button. It’s designed for apartment blocks, office buildings, and other multi-tenant entryways where a directory of named buttons is faster than a touchscreen directory.
The MD12 is an accessory module, not a standalone intercom. It connects over RS485 to a compatible Akuvox R20A, R20B, or R20K door phone, which handles the actual SIP calling, camera, and network connection. The MD12 adds 12 physical speed-dial buttons to that door phone’s setup.

Button-to-resident mapping is configured through the host door phone’s web browser management portal, no separate app or controller is needed. Sipko Security handles this configuration as part of installation.
