2N 03362-001 IP Force 2.0 5MP Video Intercom
The 2N 03362-001 is a wall-mounted IP video intercom engineered for entry access control and visitor management in multi-tenant, commercial, and high-security environments. Built on Axis's ARTPEC-8 processor, this device combines 5-megapixel image capture with on-device machine vision analytics—including QR code reading and adaptive face zooming—to support positive identification and credential verification without external servers. For security integrators deploying gatehouse systems, lobby entry points, or residential access workflows, the 03362-001 consolidates intercom communication with access automation in a single hardened device.
Key Features
- 5MP fixed camera (2592 x 1944): Delivers sufficient image detail for facial identification whether the subject is at arm's length or further away—critical for positive ID confirmation in access control workflows. The resolution sustains clarity during evidence recording and replay, reducing the need for repeat visits or credential re-presentation.
- Adaptive face zooming: The camera intelligently tracks and magnifies faces during interaction, reducing the need to ask visitors to position themselves correctly. In high-traffic entry points, this saves time and improves the experience when biometric or manual verification is required downstream.
- QR code reading (on-device): Built directly into the ARTPEC-8 processor, enabling touchless credential verification. Visitors present a code on a badge or mobile phone; the device decodes it and passes the data directly to your access control or visitor management platform—no separate scanner hardware required. Reduces install footprint and eliminates a separate failure point.
- ARTPEC-8 processor with edge analytics: Handles video encoding and machine vision processing on-device, which lowers latency, reduces network bandwidth, and enables operation in air-gapped or restricted-internet deployments where cloud integration isn't available or desired. Edge processing also means analytics decisions happen at the door, not in a remote cloud service.
- Two-way audio with panic button and numeric keypad: Supports traditional intercom communication (doorman to visitor) alongside hands-free entry workflows. The panic button integrates with alarm monitoring systems; the numeric keypad accommodates PIN-based access control without requiring separate hardware. This flexibility lets integrators adapt the same device to simple residential visitor intercoms or complex multi-credential commercial access schemes.
- PoE (IEEE 802.3af) powered: Draws under 13W, eliminating the need for separate 12VDC supplies or AC conduit runs to the mounting location. Simplifies installation on existing network switch infrastructure and reduces cabling labor. Most enterprise PoE switches can supply dozens of 03362-001 units on a single uplink.
- Wall-mounted form factor: Compact and purpose-built for gate pilasters, lobby entry points, and perimeter gatehouse installations. The fixed camera orientation is suitable for fixed entry lanes where predictable visitor positioning is the norm.
- ONVIF Profile S/T compliance: Integrates cleanly with major VMS platforms—Axis Camera Station, Milestone XProtect, and other ONVIF-capable systems. Audio and video stream directly to your central recording infrastructure without proprietary gateway hardware.
Integration and Compatibility
The 03362-001 integrates via ONVIF standards, working with any standards-compliant VMS or access control platform that supports ONVIF Profile S and Profile T. Axis Camera Station, Milestone, and open-architecture VMS solutions all recognize this device out of the box. The numeric keypad and panic button outputs can be wired to traditional relay-based access control panels or integrated into IP-based access systems via ONVIF event streams or REST APIs, depending on your platform architecture.
Two-way audio routes through your VMS for intercom communication, eliminating the need for a separate intercom system. The QR code reading and face zoom analytics are delivered as motion events or custom metadata, which your VMS can trigger rules from—for example, automatically unlocking a door when a valid QR code is decoded, or logging a high-confidence face detection for post-incident review.
Because the ARTPEC-8 processor runs analytics on-device, you don't need a separate edge appliance or cloud subscription to enable QR or face detection. The features are part of the hardware; your VMS simply consumes the events and metadata the device generates.
When to Choose a Different Model
The 03362-001 is fixed-camera and wall-mounted—it's not a PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) device. If your entry point requires tracking movement across a wide area or zooming to distant subjects, consider a higher-end intercom or PTZ variant in the 2N IP Force line. Similarly, if you need integrated RFID or card-reader hardware built into the device itself, look for 2N IP Force models with dual-RFID reader options (03355-001, 03356-001, 03357-001, 03358-001) which pair RFID and video in one form factor. For simple residential intercoms without credential verification, a less costly analog or SIP intercom may be sufficient; the 03362-001 is optimized for access control workflows where positive ID and auditable credential handling matter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the 2N 03362-001 work with Milestone XProtect?
A: Yes. The 03362-001 complies with ONVIF Profile S and Profile T, which Milestone XProtect recognizes natively. Audio, video, and analytics events (QR code reads, face detections) stream to Milestone via standard integration. No proprietary gateway or plugin is required.
Q: Can I integrate the panic button with my existing access control panel?
A: Yes. The panic button output can be wired to a traditional relay-based access control panel or triggered as an ONVIF event in an IP-based system. The numeric keypad similarly outputs PIN codes as events that your access control platform can act on.
Q: What is the power consumption of the 03362-001?
A: The device draws approximately 13W maximum, well within the IEEE 802.3af PoE limit of 15.4W. This means a single PoE switch can power dozens of units without power-budget stress.
Q: Does the 03362-001 support H.265 compression?
A: The ARTPEC-8 processor supports both H.264 and H.265 encoding. H.265 can reduce storage requirements 40–60% compared to H.264, a meaningful saving if you are recording 24/7 across multiple intercoms. Confirm codec support with your VMS before deployment.
Q: Is the QR code reading feature dependent on internet or cloud connectivity?
A: No. The QR code reading and decoding happens entirely on the ARTPEC-8 processor inside the device. The 03362-001 can operate in fully air-gapped or restricted-internet environments. The decoded data is passed to your local VMS or access control system; no cloud service is required.
Q: Can the 03362-001 be mounted in high-outdoor or IP67-rated environments?
A: The 03362-001 is a wall-mounted intercom intended for lobby, entry, and gatehouse use in covered or semi-sheltered locations. It is not rated IP67 or IP68 and should not be exposed to direct submersion or heavy spray. Confirm environmental conditions (rain, dust, temperature range) with your installation plan before ordering.

The 2N 03362-001 is a solid choice for integrators working in access control and visitor management workflows where you need both video evidence and credential automation at the same mounting point. The ARTPEC-8 processor is the real differentiator here—it means QR code reading, face detection, and adaptive zooming all happen on the device itself, with no external server dependency. That's a big operational win in restricted-internet sites or where you want to minimize cloud entanglement.
Technical Highlights:
- 5MP (2592 x 1944) fixed camera: Provides sufficient facial detail for positive ID at typical entry-point distances (arm's length to 6–8 feet). The resolution sustains across H.264 and H.265 encoding, which matters if you're archiving for legal hold or post-incident review.
- On-device QR and face analytics (ARTPEC-8): Eliminates the need for a separate edge appliance or cloud analytics subscription. The device generates motion events and metadata that your VMS can trigger rules from—e.g., automatic unlock on valid QR decode—without round-trip latency to a remote server.
- ~13W PoE draw (802.3af): Low power budget means you can deploy dozens of 03362-001 units across a facility on existing switch infrastructure without power-upgrade costs. Most enterprise PoE switches allocate 30W per port; a single port can supply multiple intercoms if daisy-chained or tapped from the same uplink.
- ONVIF Profile S/T: Direct integration with Milestone, Axis Camera Station, and open-standard VMS platforms. No proprietary middleware or integration plugins. Events and metadata flow cleanly into your NVR's event logger and rules engine.
Deployment Considerations:
- Fixed camera, wall-mounted form factor: The 03362-001 is not a PTZ device. Suitable for controlled entry lanes where visitor positioning is predictable. If your gateway requires tracking or zoom to distant subjects, consider a 2N IP Force PTZ variant or step up to a pan-tilt dome.
- QR code only; no built-in RFID: If you need integrated RFID card reading, look at the 2N IP Force 2.0 dual-RFID models (03355-001, 03356-001, 03357-001, 03358-001). The 03362-001 reads QR codes and supports numeric keypad PIN input, but does not have onboard RFID hardware.
- PoE power only: No 12VDC option. Confirm your network infrastructure supports IEEE 802.3af before committing. If you have a legacy 12VDC-only switch or a site without PoE injection, you'll need a midspan injector or PoE converter.
- Wall-mount in covered locations: Not IP67 or IP68 rated. Suitable for lobby vestibules, covered gatehouse structures, and indoor entry points. If you need outdoor rain exposure, escalate to an IP67-rated variant or add a weather canopy.
The 03362-001 is well-suited to commercial multi-tenant buildings, corporate campuses, and assisted-living facilities where you want to combine visitor verification (via QR badge, face recognition, or PIN) with two-way intercom and hard-evidence video recording. The edge analytics capability also makes it a low-latency choice for access-control integrations that operate in offline or high-latency network conditions.
