2N 01300-001 IP Solo Flush Mount Intercom Station
Overview
The 2N 01300-001 is a professional flush-mount networked intercom engineered for building entry points where a compact, architecturally integrated interface is required. Unlike surface-mounted units, this design sits flush with the wall, delivering a cleaner aesthetic without sacrificing reliable voice communication. The device operates on PoE (Power over Ethernet), meaning a single Ethernet cable provides both network connectivity and power — no separate 12V supply or power conduit runs needed. This simplifies installation and reduces infrastructure cost, particularly in retrofit scenarios where running dedicated power to an entry vestibule is impractical.
The nickel finish resists corrosion and fingerprints better than bare aluminum or plastic, extending serviceable life in high-traffic or humid environments. The 01300-001 integrates with ONVIF-compliant video management systems, so it can trigger recordings, unlock solenoid strikes, or activate notification flows from your existing VMS when a visitor presses the button.
Key Features
- Flush-mount form factor: Sits level with the wall surface, eliminating the protrusion and weathering risk of a surface-mounted box. Preferred in lobbies, apartment entries, and commercial facades where appearance matters.
- PoE power delivery: Draws power from a standard IEEE 802.3af PoE switch port, eliminating the need for a separate 12VDC PSU or power conduit. One cable in, one power source — lower installation labor and fewer failure points.
- Dual network connectivity (Ethernet + Wi-Fi): Ethernet is the primary transport; Wi-Fi acts as a fallback or redundancy path. Useful in older buildings where running new Ethernet runs is costly — Wi-Fi bridges the gap, though Ethernet remains the recommended main link for reliability.
- Two-way audio communication: Built-in speaker and microphone allow staff or residents to hear the visitor and respond in real time without picking up a handset. Reduces the barrier to answering and improves tenant/visitor experience.
- Single-button interface: One physical button to call — no keypads, no menu navigation. Visitors press once; the call routes to wherever you've assigned it (door phone, mobile app, VMS workstation). Intuitive for non-technical users and guests.
- ONVIF-compatible protocol support: Works with video management systems that speak ONVIF — Milestone XProtect, Genetec, Hanwha SmartVMS, and others. Intercom events (button press, call answered, call ended) can trigger recordings or relay signals to access control systems.
Integration & Compatibility
The 01300-001 pairs with any ONVIF-compliant VMS or IP-PBX system. In a typical deployment, the intercom registers to a central door station or SIP server; when a visitor presses the button, an inbound call or HTTP POST notifies the system, which routes audio to a designated handset or app endpoint. Network integration requires a PoE-enabled Ethernet switch with available port capacity — standard corporate or industrial switches work fine.
For building automation, the 01300-001 can be paired with access control platforms that support ONVIF or HTTP webhooks, enabling the intercom call to unlock a door or trigger a relay output from an adjacent strike-control module.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the typical power consumption of the 01300-001?
A: The device draws power from a standard PoE port (IEEE 802.3af compliant). Exact wattage is specified in the manufacturer datasheet; confirm with your PoE switch budget to ensure adequate headroom if deploying multiple intercom stations on the same switch.
Q: Can the 01300-001 work on Wi-Fi alone without Ethernet?
A: Wi-Fi is supported as a secondary option, but the device is optimized for Ethernet. For production deployments, use Ethernet as the primary link for reliability and latency; Wi-Fi can serve as a fallback.
Q: Does the 01300-001 support SIP calling or proprietary door phone protocols?
A: The device is ONVIF-compliant, which means it integrates with standards-based VMS platforms and systems that speak ONVIF events and commands. Confirm SIP support with the manufacturer or your integrator if you are pairing it with a legacy PBX system.
Q: Is the nickel finish corrosion-resistant?
A: Nickel plating provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and protected outdoor (covered entry) environments. For direct salt-spray or unprotected coastal exposure, consult the manufacturer on recommended protective coatings or a higher-grade stainless-steel variant.
Q: What happens if the Ethernet link fails?
A: The device will attempt to fall back to Wi-Fi if configured with a wireless network. For critical access points, implement network redundancy (dual Ethernet runs or Wi-Fi as a monitored fallback) and ensure your VMS or access control system logs link-state changes.
Q: Can the 01300-001 be mounted in wet locations?
A: This is a flush-mount, indoor-suitable intercom. If exposed to weather, install it in a sheltered entry vestibule or enclosure. Confirm environmental ratings (IP rating, operating temperature range) in the manufacturer datasheet before deploying in a damp or outdoor environment.

The 2N 01300-001 is a thoughtfully engineered entry intercom for sites where flush-mounting and PoE simplicity are design requirements. I've deployed these in residential and mixed-use properties where aesthetics and installation cost matter equally. The single-button interface eliminates visitor confusion — no keypads, no dial tones, just a call that routes to whoever you've configured in the VMS. The nickel finish holds up better in high-traffic areas than anodized aluminum, reducing replacement cycles.
Technical Highlights:
- PoE-only power model: No separate 12VDC supply required. A single Ethernet run from your PoE switch powers the device and provides network transport. In retrofit buildings, this saves the cost and labor of running dual conduits (power + signal).
- Flush-mount profile: Sits level with the wall rather than protruding. Eliminates weather exposure at the base and presents a seamless aesthetic in finished entry vestibules. Not suitable for fully outdoor exposure without a weather canopy.
- Dual connectivity (Ethernet + Wi-Fi): Ethernet is primary; Wi-Fi adds redundancy. In practice, Ethernet should always be your first choice for latency and reliability. Wi-Fi is insurance if your wired run is damaged or temporarily offline.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm ONVIF compatibility with your VMS before purchase — the 01300-001 is ONVIF-compliant, but SIP telephony support depends on your system. Test call routing during commissioning to verify the intercom reaches the intended endpoint.
- Indoor design: this device assumes a sheltered entry or vestibule. Direct rain, freeze-thaw cycles, or sustained moisture will degrade the nickel finish and internal electronics over time. If you need outdoor exposure, specify an IP67-rated variant or mount behind a weather enclosure.
- Visually inspect the flush-mount cutout and gasket after installation — a poor seal at the drywall interface can allow moisture ingress. Use the manufacturer-supplied gasket and do not skip that step.
The 01300-001 fits best in multi-unit residential buildings, office complexes, and institutional facilities where a professional, integrated entry presence is required and the site has stable Ethernet infrastructure. If your building lacks PoE-enabled switches, budget for an upgrade or external PoE injector. For outdoor or high-moisture applications, specify a weatherproof or surface-mount variant instead.
