2N 01343-001 IP Force 4 Button HD Camera Intercom System
The 2N 01343-001 is a hardened networked intercom station designed for secure entry verification and two-way visitor communication in demanding building access environments. It combines a 2MP HD camera with IR night vision, four programmable buttons, full-duplex audio, and a 10-watt speaker in a single compact enclosure rated IP69K (dust and high-pressure water jets) and IK10 (impact resistance to 20 joules). Unlike separate camera and intercom deployments, this integrated system reduces cable runs, simplifies configuration, and consolidates visitor identity verification with audio communication into one network endpoint.
Key Features
- 2MP HD Color Camera (1280×960): Captures clear facial detail and visitor context for real-time identity verification at entry points. Resolution sufficient for facial recognition workflows when integrated with enterprise VMS platforms.
- Integrated IR Night Vision: Built-in infrared illumination enables low-light and nighttime visitor verification without supplemental outdoor lighting infrastructure.
- Four Programmable Soft Buttons: Configurable for direct SIP calls to security or building management, door unlock triggers, gate release commands, and custom event routing to third-party access control systems. Eliminates hardwired button logic and allows remote reconfiguration via the SIP platform.
- Full-Duplex Audio with 10-Watt Speaker: High-output audio amplifier delivers intelligible two-way voice communication for interactive visitor screening and remote announcements. Full-duplex (simultaneous send and receive) prevents the half-duplex delays common in older intercom systems.
- H.265 Compression: Reduces bandwidth and storage footprint by 40–60% versus H.264, a meaningful factor when recording multiple intercoms 24/7 on a shared NVR or when bandwidth is constrained at remote sites.
- PoE (802.3af) Power and Ethernet: Single cable delivers both network connectivity and power, eliminating separate power supply runs to the mounting location. Draws under 13W, so it operates cleanly on standard managed PoE switches without special power budget planning.
- IP69K and IK10 Environmental Ratings: IP69K handles direct rain, washdown, and dust ingress. IK10 withstands impacts up to 20 joules—equivalent to drops or intentional vandalism strikes. Together, these ratings eliminate weather-related failures and reduce replacement costs in high-traffic or harsh outdoor entry environments.
- Extended Operating Temperature Range (-40°C to +55°C): Operates reliably in unheated outdoor vestibules, cold-storage facility entries, and high-heat industrial locations without thermal shutdown.
Integration and Compatibility
The 01343-001 supports SIP and VoIP protocols, enabling direct integration with enterprise unified communications platforms and PBX systems. ONVIF Profile compliance and Axis Camera Station support ensure compatibility with standard video management systems. Programmable buttons route to access control platforms via HTTP webhooks or SIP event triggers, allowing one-touch unlock and event logging without proprietary middleware. Ethernet 10/100 Base-T connectivity supports both managed PoE switches and legacy 12VDC external power (alternative option), simplifying retrofit deployments where PoE infrastructure does not yet exist.
When to Choose a Different Model
If your deployment requires higher resolution (4MP or above) for long-range facial recognition at gates or parking lot entries, consider a higher-megapixel variant within the 2N catalog. If audio-only intercom is sufficient and camera verification is not needed, a dedicated VoIP intercom speaker may reduce cost. If deployment is strictly indoor or does not require extreme impact resistance, indoor-rated devices with IP65 ratings offer compact, lower-cost alternatives.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the 2N 01343-001 work with Milestone XProtect or other third-party VMS platforms?
A: Yes. ONVIF Profile compliance ensures broad compatibility with Milestone, Genetec, Everbridge, and other standards-based VMS systems. Integration requires Ethernet connectivity and ONVIF-compliant VMS software.
Q: What is the maximum range of the infrared night vision on the 01343-001?
A: The datasheet specifies infrared illumination for low-light entry verification; exact range depends on scene reflectivity and camera sensor sensitivity. Consult the device datasheet for specific IR throw distance in your mounting configuration.
Q: Can the four buttons be remotely reconfigured without physical access to the device?
A: Yes. Button functions are configured via SIP programming and access control platform integration. Once networked, button behaviors can be changed remotely via the control system without site visits.
Q: Is the 2N 01343-001 suitable for outdoor use in freezing climates?
A: Yes. The operating temperature range extends to -40°C, allowing reliable deployment in outdoor entry vestibules, northern facilities, and cold-storage environments. IP69K sealing prevents frost-related moisture ingress.
Q: What is the power consumption of the 01343-001?
A: The device draws under 13W via standard 802.3af PoE. This does not require PoE+ (802.3at) and will not strain the power budget of a standard managed PoE switch.
Q: Does the 01343-001 include mounting hardware in the box?
A: Mounting hardware specifications are listed in the device datasheet. Consult the manufacturer documentation for exact contents and compatibility with your wall or surface material.

The 2N 01343-001 collapses two separate devices—a weatherproof camera and a networked intercom—into one hardened endpoint. That consolidation cuts installation labor, reduces cable clutter, and simplifies warranty management. For integrators managing multi-building access deployments, this single-device approach accelerates commissioning and lowers the part count in your supply chain.
Technical Highlights:
- H.265 Codec: Cuts storage footprint by 40–60% versus H.264. On a 24/7 recording NVR with eight intercoms, that difference translates to real cost savings—especially over three- to five-year retention windows.
- IP69K/IK10 Ratings: The IP69K sealing handles high-pressure washdown and salt spray. IK10 impact resistance means this device survives vandalism attempts and accidental impacts that would crack lesser intercoms. Combine that with the -40°C to +55°C operating range, and failure modes common in outdoor deployments become extremely rare.
- Under-13W PoE Draw: No need to upgrade your switch or calculate complex power budgets. Standard 802.3af switches will carry dozens of these intercoms without additional infrastructure.
Deployment Considerations:
- SIP integration is flexible but requires your PBX or unified communications platform to support ONVIF intercom endpoints. Verify SIP provisioning support in your control system before commissioning.
- The 2MP sensor is adequate for facial recognition at typical entry distances (4–8 feet), but falls short for identifying visitors beyond 15 feet or in long hallways. Measure your mounting distance and facial resolution requirements before selection.
- PoE simplifies wiring, but verify that your Ethernet run to the mounting location carries PoE. Legacy installations may still have non-PoE switches, forcing a fallback to the optional 12VDC external power module.
Deploy the 01343-001 at building perimeter entries, multi-tenant lobbies, and gated facility gates where weather exposure and vandalism are real concerns. The hardened ratings and SIP integration make it a reliable, low-maintenance choice for access control systems that must operate 24/7 without frequent service calls.
