2N IP Force Single Button Intercom System - 01336-001

2N IP Force Single Button Intercom System

The 2N IP Force 01336-001 is a rugged, single-button IP intercom station engineered for demanding enterprise access control and communication environments. This wired PoE-powered device delivers reliable two-way audio communication with enterprise-grade durability and seamless integration into ONVIF-compliant VMS platforms, making it ideal for secure entry points, facilities management, and distributed communication networks.

Key Features

• Single Programmable Button: Streamlined one-button interface for direct communication and access control functions, minimizing user confusion and reducing call routing complexity.
• PoE Power & Wired Connectivity: Power over Ethernet (PoE) eliminates dedicated AC power infrastructure, reducing installation costs and complexity in both retrofit and greenfield deployments.
• Full-Duplex Audio with Advanced Processing: Professional-grade audio with integrated noise cancellation and echo suppression ensures clear two-way communication even in high-ambient-noise environments.
• Extreme Environmental Durability: IP69K and IK10 ratings provide superior protection against water ingress, dust contamination, and physical impact—essential for outdoor and harsh industrial settings.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: Functions reliably from -40°C to +55°C, supporting deployment in climate-extreme facilities, outdoor entrance canopies, and uncontrolled environments.
• ONVIF Profile Compliance: Standards-based integration with third-party VMS platforms, NVRs, and access control systems eliminates vendor lock-in and enables flexible system architecture.
• DHCP & Network Management: Automatic IP address assignment simplifies large-scale deployments and reduces manual configuration overhead across distributed installations.

Perspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.

The 2N IP Force represents a purpose-built solution for organizations requiring ruggedized intercom capability in demanding physical environments. Its IP69K/IK10 certification and -40°C to +55°C operating range address genuine deployment challenges in outdoor, industrial, and uncontrolled facilities where consumer-grade intercoms fail. The single-button design—while appearing simplistic—reflects a deliberate shift toward reducing user error in access control workflows; programmability allows the button to route calls, trigger relay functions, or initiate pre-configured communication chains.

PoE power is a critical infrastructure advantage: eliminating separate 24VDC or AC runs saves both capex and operational complexity. The full-duplex audio with noise cancellation and echo suppression is particularly valuable in high-ambient-noise environments (parking structures, outdoor gates, loading docks) where standard intercoms produce user frustration. ONVIF compliance ensures this device integrates into existing VMS/access control ecosystems without proprietary middleware or gateway appliances, reducing total cost of ownership and future-proofing deployments against vendor changes.

For security teams evaluating entrance communication in outdoor or harsh-environment settings, this device's durability certifications and temperature range justify its cost premium over consumer alternatives. The lack of integrated camera differentiates it from multimodal products, positioning it for audio-only access verification or supplementary communication at camera-equipped checkpoints.
