Axis I5304 Network Answering Unit 7in Touch
The Axis I5304 Network Answering Unit is a professional-grade IP intercom station designed for secure visitor communication and access control in commercial and enterprise environments. Built on Axis' proven 2N OS platform, this indoor station delivers reliable audio-visual verification capabilities, enabling receptionists, security personnel, and facility managers to authenticate visitors and manage entry points with confidence.
Key Features
- 7-inch capacitive touch screen for intuitive visitor interaction
- Full-duplex two-way audio with echo cancellation for clear communication
- Seamless integration with Axis IP intercom systems and SIP-based VoIP networks
- Power over Ethernet (PoE IEEE 802.3af) for simplified installation
- Compact white indoor form factor suitable for reception areas and entry points
- Multiple mounting options via dedicated accessories (wall, recessed, and desk)
Technical Specifications
The I5304 operates on Axis' proprietary 2N OS, ensuring stable performance and deep compatibility with existing Axis infrastructure. It connects via SIP protocol and native Axis IP intercom systems, making integration straightforward in both legacy and modern deployments. The device draws power exclusively from PoE, eliminating the need for auxiliary power supplies and reducing cable clutter at installation sites.
Audio quality is prioritized through full-duplex two-way communication with integrated echo cancellation, allowing simultaneous talking and listening without distortion. The 7-inch capacitive touch interface provides responsive, wear-resistant operation suitable for high-traffic environments.
Mounting and Installation Flexibility
The I5304 supports three mounting configurations through optional accessories: recessed mounting (AXIS TI5201), wall mounting (AXIS TI5601), and desk mounting (AXIS TI5602). This flexibility allows deployment in diverse facility layouts, from modern open-plan offices to traditional reception desks and secure building entrances.
Ideal Applications
This unit is well-suited for corporate office receptions, hotel concierge desks, residential building entry points, secure facility access control, and multi-tenant commercial properties. Its professional design and reliable performance make it the preferred choice for organizations requiring both visual and audio verification of visitors before granting access.

The I5304 distinguishes itself as a purpose-built answering station rather than a general-purpose display. Its integration with both proprietary Axis systems and open SIP standards ensures compatibility across mixed-vendor environments. The capacitive touch interface and echo cancellation are critical for high-volume reception areas where call clarity and rapid response times directly impact visitor experience and security.
PoE power delivery streamlines deployment in retrofit scenarios where running dedicated electrical circuits is impractical. Organizations evaluating this unit should confirm SIP server compatibility and verify that existing mounting infrastructure aligns with the three available accessory options.
