2N 01340-001 IP Force HD Dual-Button Access Control Intercom
The 2N 01340-001 is a wall-mounted IP intercom designed to consolidate visitor communication, video verification, and credential reader integration into a single networked device. Unlike traditional intercoms that require separate cameras and readers, this unit combines HD video capture, two-way audio, and card reader-ready architecture in one installation footprint, reducing both deployment complexity and total cost of ownership in access control environments.
Key Features
- Integrated HD Camera: Built-in high-definition imaging eliminates the need for separate visitor verification cameras at entry points. You see who's requesting access in real time without additional infrastructure—critical for facilities where camera placement at every intercom location would multiply costs.
- Dual Programmable Buttons: Two customizable push buttons reduce end-user confusion at entry points. Configure one for reception, another for building management, or use them for access request routing—button logic is programmable, not hard-wired, so you can repurpose them as operational needs shift.
- Card Reader-Ready Interface: Pre-wired support for RFID, NFC, magnetic stripe, proximity, and smart card readers means you can integrate external readers without additional hardware or extensive rewiring. Valuable for phased migrations where you're retiring legacy badge infrastructure incrementally without replacing the entire access layer.
- Full-Duplex Audio with Echo Cancellation: Built-in speaker and microphone with echo cancellation and noise suppression handle typical indoor entry environments—office lobbies, warehouse gates, healthcare facilities. Audio quality matters when security staff need to make access decisions based on visitor intent, not struggle to understand garbled speech.
- Power over Ethernet (PoE): Single-cable provisioning via standard Ethernet eliminates separate 12VDC power supplies. Simplifies retrofit installations where running additional power runs is impractical or costly, and reduces overall cabling clutter at the mounting location.
- IP69K and IK10 Rated: IP69K ingress protection (high-pressure jets, full dust immunity) and IK10 impact resistance suit harsh environments—data centers with aggressive cleaning protocols, outdoor corridor mounting, vehicle bay entries, or manufacturing floors where dust and mechanical abuse are routine. These ratings are meaningfully higher than standard office intercom ratings and justify deployment in uncontrolled or industrial settings.
- Extreme Temperature Operation: Rated -40°C to +55°C (-40°F to +131°F), this device handles data center cold aisles, outdoor-adjacent corridors, and unheated warehouse bays where standard office intercoms would fail. If your facility spans climate zones, a single model works across all of them.
- ONVIF Protocol Compliance: Full ONVIF support and third-party VMS platform compatibility mean you're not locked into proprietary software. Integrate with Milestone XProtect, Genetec, or other open-architecture VMS platforms—critical for enterprises with heterogeneous security ecosystems.
Integration and Deployment
The 01340-001 connects via standard Ethernet 10/100 Base-T with PoE power, mounting in a standard wall-mounted form factor. Integration with access control systems happens through the pre-configured card reader interface—no additional relay modules or interface cards required. ONVIF compliance ensures VMS platform compatibility for centralized monitoring and incident logging. Organizations deploying this unit typically benefit most when retrofitting existing access points where separate camera and reader infrastructure is already in place—the intercom consolidates those functions, reducing maintenance overhead.
When to Choose a Different Model
If you require weatherproofing suitable for direct rain exposure on outdoor walls exposed to water runoff or splash zones, consider evaluating higher-rated variants within the 2N product line. Similarly, if your site demands fully flush-mounted or completely enclosed form factors (rather than wall-surface mounting), consult the broader intercom category to compare installation profiles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the 2N 01340-001 support Milestone XProtect or Genetec integration?
A: Yes. Full ONVIF protocol compliance enables integration with third-party VMS platforms including Milestone XProtect, Genetec, and other open-architecture systems. Integration is managed through standard ONVIF camera discovery and credential configuration.
Q: Can I use the 01340-001 outdoors?
A: The IP69K and IK10 ratings permit deployment in outdoor-adjacent and harsh indoor environments (data center aisles, vehicle bays, unheated corridors). However, IP69K is rated for high-pressure jets and dust, not full outdoor weather exposure with sustained rain. For fully exposed outdoor mounting, verify site-specific environmental conditions with the manufacturer or consult the datasheet.
Q: What's the power draw of the 01340-001?
A: The device draws power via PoE (IEEE 802.3af standard). Exact wattage specifications are available in the product datasheet. Confirm your PoE switch budget accommodates the device and any card readers you plan to connect.
Q: Can I program the dual buttons independently?
A: Yes. Both buttons are programmable and can be configured for different access request targets (e.g., reception, security office, building management) or custom access logic depending on your VMS and access control platform capabilities.
Q: What card reader technologies does the 01340-001 support?
A: The device includes a card reader-ready interface supporting RFID, NFC, magnetic stripe, proximity (EM, HID), and smart card readers. External readers connect to the pre-wired interface without additional hardware.
Q: Is the 01340-001 suitable for data center installations?
A: Yes. The extreme temperature range (-40°C to +55°C) and IP69K/IK10 ratings make it well-suited for data center cold aisles, equipment rooms, and mechanical spaces where environmental control is limited and dust or aggressive cleaning is routine.

The 2N 01340-001 solves a real problem in unified access control: it consolidates three separate hardware functions—intercom, visitor camera, and credential reader interface—into one wall-mounted device. For enterprises managing multiple entry points across campuses or multi-building facilities, this reduces not just upfront costs but also configuration and maintenance overhead. The 01340-001 (often searched as 01340 001) is particularly valuable in facilities migrations, where you can phase out legacy reader hardware without replacing the entire intercom infrastructure.
Technical Highlights:
- IP69K / IK10 Ratings: These certifications position this device well above standard office intercom durability. IP69K handles high-pressure wash-down and complete dust immunity—real capabilities for data center hot-aisle cleaning or manufacturing floor deployment. IK10 impact resistance means mechanical abuse from equipment carts or casual facility work won't compromise the unit.
- Extreme Temperature Range (-40°C to +55°C): Unlike typical intercoms rated for 0°C to 40°C, this range covers unheated warehouses, outdoor-adjacent corridors, and data center cold aisles without compromise. No thermal derating, no special enclosures required.
- PoE-Only Power Model: Single Ethernet run eliminates separate 12VDC supplies, reducing installation labor in retrofit scenarios. Budget typically 10–15W via standard 802.3af PoE, leaving room on your switch for additional readers or camera modules at the same entry point.
Deployment Considerations:
- The dual-button design reduces user confusion at busy entry points, but verify your VMS or access control platform supports button-level programming before deployment—not all systems expose this granularly.
- IP69K protects against jets and dust, but it is not a fully submersible or sustained outdoor exposure rating. Confirm your mounting location won't experience pooling water, prolonged rain spray, or direct UV exposure without additional housing.
- Card reader integration is hardware-ready but requires external reader hardware and proper cabling discipline. Budget for the reader cost separately and plan cabling runs at installation time—retrofitting readers after wall mounting is messy.
Position the 01340-001 for access control refresh projects in manufacturing, logistics, and data center environments where you're consolidating legacy hardware, or for new builds in climate-extreme facilities where standard office intercoms fail. It's not a substitute for dedicated barrier-mounted cameras at critical chokepoints, but it is a legitimate way to eliminate redundant hardware at single-button request stations.
