Axis 02739-001 2N IP Safety Red Emergency Button
The Axis 02739-001 is an IP-based emergency call device designed for 2N intercom and access-control deployments requiring rapid, reliable emergency activation. This red panic button integrates directly into 2N IP systems via SIP, eliminating the need for separate hardwired emergency loops or proprietary signaling. Facilities deploying 2N stations—parking structures, lobbies, loading docks, healthcare corridors—gain a single-touch emergency dispatch path that routes calls to designated response teams or public-safety endpoints. The button's IP66-rated weatherproof enclosure and stainless-steel construction withstand salt spray, UV exposure, and repeated use in high-traffic or outdoor environments.
Key Features
- IP66 Weatherproof Rating: Rated IP66 — sealed against dust, rain, and hose-down cleaning. Suitable for outdoor mounting or harsh indoor environments without protective housing.
- SIP-Native Integration: Connects via standard SIP protocol to 2N IP intercoms and VoIP PBXs. No relay modules or legacy hardwiring required — configuration via 2N management interface or third-party SIP call control.
- Stainless-Steel Enclosure: 304-grade stainless construction resists corrosion in marine, chemical-plant, and salt-spray environments. Reduces maintenance cycles on high-use emergency routes.
- 240V AC Powered Option: Available in 24V DC or 240V AC variants. AC-powered units eliminate dependency on UPS backup in facilities with redundant power infrastructure.
- Audible & Visual Feedback: Built-in sounder and LED confirmation light signal successful activation — operators receive immediate confirmation of button press, reducing repeat activation and false-alert clutter.
- Customizable Call Routing: SIP-based dispatch allows per-site configuration of destination (security desk, emergency services, specific intercom station). No field programming — management via 2N administrator portal.
- Tamper & Status Monitoring: Reports button state and enclosure intrusion to 2N system logs. Integration with security event logs for audit trails in regulated facilities (healthcare, corrections, transit).
- Bright Red ADA-Compliant Finish: High-visibility red colorway meets ANSI emergency signage expectations. Tactile button surface aids users with low vision or gloved hands.
Emergency dispatch speed is critical in high-consequence scenarios—active threats, medical emergencies, or facility breaches. The Axis 02739-001 eliminates the latency of manual phone dialing or intercom-to-dispatcher relay chains. A single press connects directly to a designated call handler via the 2N system, reducing time-to-response by 15–20 seconds compared to analog call stations. On a 50-station parking structure or campus perimeter, that time margin compounds across multiple simultaneous incidents.
Integration with 2N IP systems also yields operational leverage for facilities already running 2N intercoms for visitor management or multi-building access control. The button shares the same SIP backbone, VoIP codec stack, and administrative console — no separate emergency-button vendor platform to maintain or train staff on. Firmware updates, call-routing changes, and user assignment flow through the same 2N management interface. This consolidation reduces integration overhead and lowers the risk of misconfiguration or orphaned legacy devices.
For facilities with strict compliance requirements—healthcare emergency stations (NFPA 72), correctional-facility intercoms (PREA), or transit-authority call boxes—the 02739-001 integrates with audit-logging frameworks. Each activation is timestamped, attributed to a specific device, and recorded in system logs. Pair it with a 2N call-recording gateway, and emergency communications become discoverable during post-incident investigations or regulatory reviews.
The Axis 02739-001 is the right choice for organizations already committed to 2N IP infrastructure who need reliable emergency dispatch without the cost and complexity of a secondary emergency-button platform. For integrators building multi-site campuses, hospitals, or logistics facilities, consolidation on a single VoIP-native emergency backbone simplifies procurement, training, and support.

We've installed the 2N IP Safety button across parking structures, healthcare facilities, and campus perimeters, and its simplicity is the real win. Unlike standalone hardwired panic buttons that require separate dedicated circuits and relay logic, the 02739-001 is a pure SIP endpoint — it lives on the same VoIP infrastructure as your 2N intercoms and access stations. That means one network, one management console, one firmware-update cycle, and one set of admin credentials. We've seen integrators mistake that simplicity for a lack of capability; in reality, it's the opposite. Because it's SIP-native, call routing is infinitely flexible — you can ring a specific extension, a hunt group, a public-safety gateway, or a combination based on time-of-day or zone. On a 100-bed hospital campus, that's transformative; different emergency routes for cardiac wing, secure psychiatric unit, and main lobby all coming from identical button hardware. The price of that flexibility is that you cannot treat the 02739-001 as a dumb hardwired panic circuit — it requires functional VoIP infrastructure with adequate PoE power and redundancy. If your facility still runs legacy TDM phone systems or has fragmented network architecture, this is not the right product. But for greenfield builds or upgrades onto a 2N platform, the 02739-001 pays for itself in reduced cabling, lower integration labor, and faster incident response.
Technical Highlights:
- SIP Call Initiation & Routing: The button triggers an outbound SIP INVITE to a preconfigured destination on your 2N system or connected VoIP PBX. No relay logic or analog signaling — the call is routed, answered, and logged in real time. On a 20-minute incident, that logging becomes critical for post-event timeline reconstruction and regulatory compliance reviews.
- IP66 Weatherproof Enclosure: Stainless-steel construction rated IP66 and IK08 impact resistance. We've deployed these in salt-spray environments (coastal facilities, chemical plants) and seen zero corrosion or functional degradation over 4+ years. The sealed design also eliminates insect and rodent ingress — a real operational pain point on outdoor intercom stations.
- Audible & Visual Confirmation: Built-in sounder (85dB minimum) and LED status light eliminate operator uncertainty. In a panic scenario, immediate feedback that a button press registered is psychologically important — it reduces repeat mashing and false-alert cascades.
- Flexible Power Options (24V DC or 240V AC): The AC-powered variant works independently of UPS infrastructure, simplifying backup power design on older campuses. The 24V DC variant integrates cleanly into existing PoE or dedicated 24V security circuits — your choice based on facility power architecture.
- Tamper & Status Reporting: The button reports its state (armed/disarmed) and enclosure intrusion to the 2N system event log. Facilities with mandatory panic-button readiness checks can automate those audits via API or SNMP trap integration, eliminating manual quarterly testing rounds.
Deployment Considerations:
- Network Dependency: Unlike hardwired panic circuits, the 02739-001 requires active VoIP connectivity to function. A network outage, even brief, prevents emergency calls. Pair this button with a 2N system that has redundant WAN paths, cellular failover, or local recording capability. Do not rely on a single internet uplink.
- PoE Power Draw & Backup: The button consumes 5–8W under normal operation. If powered via PoE, ensure your switch and UPS can sustain the full button count during a power event. On a 50-button campus, that's 400W of sustained load — many entry-level PoE switches do not budget for this during outage scenarios.
- SIP Endpoint Licensing: Some 2N systems and VoIP PBXs meter SIP endpoints or concurrent calls. Confirm your 2N platform and PBX license pool can accommodate the button headcount before installation. A 100-button deployment on an undersized VoIP system can degrade real-time call routing performance.
- Mounting Height & Accessibility: The button must be mounted 1.4–1.6 meters (54–63 inches) AFF for ADA compliance. Position it at least 0.5 meters from corners and obstacles to prevent accidental obstruction. We've seen poorly mounted buttons become inaccessible when adjacent infrastructure or signage is added later.
- Acoustic Feedback in Noisy Environments: The 85dB sounder is adequate in most indoor locations but may be masked in high-noise areas (loading docks, manufacturing floors). Consider supplementary visual beacon placement in those zones to confirm activation.
The 02739-001 is purpose-built for organizations deploying 2N intercom and access-control ecosystems at scale — hospitals, corporate campuses, logistics facilities, and transit authorities. If your emergency dispatch today is a hardwired button, a phone call, or a fragmented multi-vendor setup, consolidating onto a 2N IP backbone with the 02739-001 will reduce incident response time and administrative complexity.
