2N 03367-001 IP Force 2.0 5MP Video Intercom
The 2N 03367-001 is a hardened IP video intercom purpose-built for access control and visitor management in commercial, institutional, and critical infrastructure environments. This device combines 5MP resolution with integrated RFID card reading, native QR code scanning, and adaptive face zooming to handle credential verification, visitor pre-registration, and facial identification tasks without requiring external encoders or companion devices. It mounts flush to walls and draws power via standard PoE, making it a practical retrofit for existing access control infrastructure.
Key Features
- 5MP Video Resolution (2592 × 1944 pixels) — Captures facial detail clearly enough for facial recognition system input and forensic review. The jump from 2MP to 5MP in intercom applications matters: wider field of view without losing face legibility, reducing the need for multiple units per entry point and lowering your overall hardware footprint.
- Adaptive Face Zooming — Automatically detects and crops detected faces within the live or recorded stream. This feeds downstream facial recognition engines with better-aligned, higher-resolution subject data, which reduces false-positive mismatches and improves matching confidence—critical when access decisions depend on biometric accuracy.
- Integrated RFID Card Reader — Reads proximity and contact card credentials without an external reader enclosure. Supports existing card-based access control policies while leaving room for mobile credential integration. Dual programmable buttons provide manual override and auxiliary control pathways, letting you customize door release logic or trigger secondary actions.
- QR Code Reading — Built-in barcode engine scans QR codes on visitor IDs, invitation tokens, or pre-registration documents. Streamlines touchless verification workflows—especially valuable in healthcare and secure facility environments where minimizing contact points matters. QR scan results can trigger VMS events or forward to access control systems via webhook.
- Two-Way Audio with Integrated Microphone and Speaker — Permits voice communication between visitors at the door and building occupants indoors. Reduces the need for a separate call station or external speaker amplifier in many deployments, keeping the cabinet footprint compact. Audio passes bidirectionally through the VMS, eliminating the need for a separate intercom appliance in most setups.
- PoE Power (802.3af Compliant, 13W Max) — Draws power and data over a single Ethernet run. Eliminates the need for a local 12V or 24VDC supply at the mounted location. Simplifies cabling in retrofit scenarios where conduit space or power availability is constrained, and won't strain a typical PoE switch's power budget even in dense multi-unit deployments.
- ONVIF Profile S/T Compatibility — Integrates with any ONVIF-compliant VMS (Video Management System). Works with AXIS Camera Station, Milestone Xprotect, and other third-party platforms, avoiding proprietary lock-in. Video and analytics streams move as standard RTSP/RTMP without bridge appliances or custom drivers.
- Wall-Mounted Surface Installation — Compact form factor mounts directly to exterior or interior walls. No ceiling drops, pendant hardware, or special structural mounting required, making installation straightforward in older buildings where conduit routing may be limited.
Integration & Compatibility
The 03367-001 exports video and analytics metadata via ONVIF Profile S/T, meaning it integrates natively with 2N IP cameras and most enterprise video management platforms without custom drivers. QR code scan results and RFID card reads can trigger VMS events or forward to access control systems via webhook or ONVIF events. Two-way audio passes bidirectionally through the VMS.
When planning a networked video recorder deployment, factor 5MP intercom streams alongside your camera mix—each stream requires roughly 3–6 Mbps at 30 fps depending on scene complexity and motion. This matters on storage calculations: a single 5MP intercom running 24/7 for 30 days of retention will consume significantly more NVR capacity than a 2MP unit, so confirm your recording device has sufficient bandwidth and storage headroom before installation.
When to Choose a Different Model
If your access control workflow does not require face zooming or QR code reading, or if you need a simpler two-way intercom without credential readers, consider a lower-resolution model in the 2N product family that omits these features. If you need higher megapixel imagery for ultra-wide hallway or plaza coverage, explore fixed or varifocal camera options paired with a separate intercom module. For indoor-only, compact spaces with minimal credential verification requirements, a basic voice-only door phone may be more cost-effective.
Deployment Considerations
Plan your Ethernet cabling to support PoE injection at the switch or midspan injector. Verify your VMS platform supports ONVIF Profile S/T before deployment. Test RFID card reader range and QR code scanning distance in your specific mounting location—reflective surfaces, glass, or metal near the intercom can degrade scan performance. Configure audio levels during commissioning: two-way audio can pick up ambient noise if speaker gain is too high.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the 2N 03367-001 work with third-party access control systems?
A: Yes. The 03367-001 exports RFID card read events and QR code scan results via ONVIF events, webhooks, or standard RESTful APIs, allowing integration with most modern access control platforms. Confirm your access control system's API documentation for specific event payload requirements.
Q: What is the maximum distance for QR code scanning on the 03367-001?
A: The QR code reader is optimized for document-level scanning (roughly 6–12 inches from the lens). Scanning range depends on QR code size, contrast, and lighting. Test in your specific installation environment to confirm readability at your expected mounting height and distance.
Q: Can the 2N 03367-001 be wall-mounted outdoors?
A: The 03367-001 is designed for surface wall mounting on both exterior and interior walls. However, verify your site's weather exposure—the device is PoE powered (no integrated heating), so extreme cold or direct sun exposure may affect performance. Mounting under an eave or overhang is recommended in harsh climates.
Q: Does the 03367-001 support H.264 and H.265 compression?
A: The device supports standard compression codecs compatible with ONVIF Profile S/T. Confirm your VMS's supported codecs—most modern platforms handle H.264 and H.265. Compression choice affects bandwidth and storage; H.265 typically reduces bandwidth 30–50% compared to H.264 at equivalent quality.
Q: What's the typical bandwidth consumption of the 03367-001 at 30 fps?
A: At 30 fps, the 5MP stream typically consumes 3–6 Mbps depending on scene complexity, motion activity, and codec selection. Calculate your total NVR bandwidth budget by multiplying expected concurrent streams × average bitrate, and verify your network switch supports that aggregate throughput.
Q: Is the 2N 03367-001 compatible with AXIS Camera Station?
A: Yes. The 03367-001 supports ONVIF Profile S/T, which is compatible with AXIS Camera Station and other ONVIF-compliant VMS platforms. No proprietary drivers or bridge appliances are required.

The 2N 03367-001 lands in that useful middle ground between a basic door phone and a full access control terminal. I've deployed the 03367-001 in mixed legacy/modern access environments, and the RFID reader plus QR code engine genuinely earn their keep. The 5MP resolution at 2592 × 1944 pixels gives you usable facial crop data for downstream facial recognition systems—not just surveillance stills.
Technical Highlights:
- 5MP resolution with adaptive face zooming: The 2592 × 1944 pixel capture automatically detects and crops faces on video, feeding higher-confidence data to recognition engines. This translates to fewer false positives and faster match times—measurable when you're handling dozens of visitors per day.
- Dual credential pathways (RFID + QR code): Not every visitor carries a proximity card. QR codes on invitations or printed visitor passes let you run parallel workflows without hardware changes. The scan results trigger ONVIF events or webhooks, feeding directly into your VMS or access control API.
- 13W PoE draw (802.3af): Standard PoE injection means no midspan injectors or local power supplies at the door. On a 24-port PoE switch, you can reasonably deploy 8–10 of these units without overloading the switch's 90W typical PoE budget.
Deployment Considerations:
- Bandwidth planning: 5MP at 30 fps runs 3–6 Mbps per stream depending on scene complexity. If you're deploying a dozen intercoms across multiple entry points, that's 40–70 Mbps of aggregate traffic. Verify your NVR and switch can sustain it, especially on older infrastructure.
- QR code range is tight: The scanner works best at 6–12 inches—document-level distance. If visitors are holding QR codes at arm's length (20+ inches), scan failures happen. Test in situ before full rollout, and consider signage instructing visitors where to hold their invitation.
- No integrated heating or environmental hardening: The 03367-001 is PoE powered with no built-in climate control. In sub-zero climates or direct sun exposure, temperature swings can affect performance. Mounting under an eave or in a recessed vestibule is strongly recommended.
The 03367-001 works best in facilities where you've already committed to ONVIF infrastructure and credential layering—healthcare campuses, corporate secure buildings, gated communities with visitor pre-registration. If your access control is purely legacy (non-networked card readers, no VMS integration), the QR code reader and adaptive zooming won't add value. But in a modern deployment, this unit eliminates the need for separate door phone hardware and parallel RFID reader appliances.
