Product Overview
For installations where a camera is not required and a compact, flush-mounted profile is the priority, the 2N IP Solo delivers a single-button SIP intercom solution in a sleek black finish. Designed for flush installation in a single-module frame measuring 107 x 130 x 28 mm, this unit sits neatly within a wall cavity rather than projecting from the surface, making it suited to apartment entries, commercial office doors, and access-controlled corridors where a tidy finish is essential. Featuring full duplex audio with acoustic echo cancellation, a built-in microphone, and a 2 W speaker rated at 78 dB SPL, it delivers clear voice communication without requiring a separate audio device. Equipped with 802.3af PoE support, it draws power directly from a network switch, simplifying cabling runs. It also includes a built-in tamper switch and an integrated switch output for door release control, rounding out a straightforward but well-specified entry point device.
Key Capabilities
Flush Mount Single-Module Frame
The 107 x 130 x 28 mm flush mount frame recesses the unit into the wall for a clean, low-profile appearance. This suits apartment buildings, commercial lobbies, and office entries where a surface-mounted device would be visually intrusive or a liability risk.
Full Duplex Audio with AEC
The built-in microphone and 2 W / 8 ohm speaker deliver full duplex voice communication with acoustic echo cancellation. Supporting G.711, G.729, G.722, and L16/16 kHz codecs, audio quality remains consistent across a range of SIP endpoints and management platforms.
PoE Power via 802.3af
Powering via 802.3af PoE at Class 0 (up to 12.95 W) eliminates the need for a separate power supply at the door location. A single Cat5e or Cat6 cable carries both data and power, reducing installation time and conduit requirements at the entry point.
Integrated Switch Output for Door Release
The onboard NC/NO relay output (30 V, 1 A, AC/DC) connects directly to an electric strike or magnetic lock, allowing the intercom to trigger door release without an additional relay module. This keeps the installation compact and the hardware count low.
IP54 and IK08 Rated Housing
IP54 dust and splash resistance combined with IK08 impact resistance means the unit handles moderate outdoor exposure and incidental contact. It is rated for operating temperatures from -40 to 60 degrees C, making it suitable for covered outdoor entries and exposed indoor lobbies in varying climates.
Best For
- Privacy-conscious entry points: Where a camera is not required or not permitted, this SKU delivers SIP-based voice intercom without any imaging hardware, satisfying privacy requirements at residential or commercial entry doors.
- Compact flush installations: The single-module flush frame suits wall cavities in apartment common areas, office corridors, and commercial reception doors where a surface-mounted unit would not be appropriate.
- SIP-based telephony systems: Sites running SIP PBX platforms or IP telephony infrastructure can integrate the 2N IP Solo directly, routing calls to internal extensions or softphone clients without additional gateways.
- Door release control without additional hardware: The built-in NC/NO relay output connects directly to electric strikes or magnetic locks, keeping the door controller hardware count to a minimum for single-door deployments.
Why Choose the 2N IP Solo
The 2N IP Solo occupies a specific position in the IP intercom market: a compact, flush-mounted, camera-free SIP device with a genuinely small footprint. Where the larger 2N IP Verso is over-specified for a single-call-button requirement, the IP Solo keeps the installation straightforward without compromising on audio quality or protocol support. Full duplex audio with AEC, four supported codecs, and a broad operating temperature range of -40 to 60 degrees C give it capabilities beyond what most basic doorbell-style intercoms offer. The integrated relay output, tamper switch, and 802.3af PoE support mean fewer components are needed at the door. The black flush mount variant is available at Security Wholesalers for projects requiring a consistent dark-toned finish across a building’s access hardware.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This SKU is specifically the without-camera variant of the 2N IP Solo in black with a flush mount frame. If your project requires a built-in camera for visual verification at the door, this is not the correct SKU. Additionally, the 2N IP Solo cannot accept both PoE and an external 12 V DC power supply simultaneously. Plan your power source before installation, and confirm your PoE switch port supports 802.3af at Class 0 output before cabling.

Ideal Use Cases
Apartment Building Common Entries
The flush mount single-module frame and compact 107 x 130 mm footprint fit standard wall cutouts in multi-residential common areas. PoE simplifies cabling in riser ducts, and the SIP 2.0 protocol integrates with building telephone systems to route calls to individual units.
Commercial Office Door Access
Offices requiring a single-point call button at a staff or visitor entry door benefit from the integrated NC/NO relay output for direct electric strike or magnetic lock control. The IK08 rating adds resilience against accidental impact in busy entry corridors.
Privacy-Required Entry Points
This SKU carries no camera hardware, making it appropriate for installations where imaging at the entry point is restricted by privacy policy, tenancy agreement, or building rules. Full duplex audio still enables clear two-way voice communication for visitor verification.
Covered Outdoor Entries in Extreme Climates
With an operating temperature range of -40 to 60 degrees C and an IP54 rating for splash and dust resistance, the 2N IP Solo handles exposed covered entry points in cold-climate or high-temperature environments where many intercoms would fail or require enclosure.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your installation requires a flush-mounted, camera-free SIP intercom in black with a compact single-module footprint, PoE power, and an integrated relay output for door release, with no need for visual verification at the door.
- Choose a different model if: You need a built-in camera for visual identification of visitors at the entry point. This SKU has no imaging capability at all, so a camera-equipped intercom variant would be required for video verification. If surface mounting is preferred over flush mounting, a surface-mount variant should be considered instead.
FAQs
- Does this 2N IP Solo include a camera?
No. SKU 02204-001 is specifically the without-camera variant of the 2N IP Solo. It is designed for installations where visual identification at the entry point is not required or not permitted. Only audio intercom capability is provided through the built-in microphone and 2 W speaker.
- What type of wall cutout or box does the flush mount frame require?
The flush mount frame supplied with this unit is a single-module frame with overall dimensions of 107 mm wide by 130 mm high by 28 mm deep. Installation requires a suitable wall cavity or back box to accept the unit. Exact cutout dimensions should be confirmed from the 2N installation guide for this specific module size before cutting.
- Can I power the 2N IP Solo from both PoE and a 12 V DC supply at the same time?
No. The 2N IP Solo must be powered from either 802.3af PoE (Class 0, up to 12.95 W) or a 12 V DC supply at ±15% and 2 A, but not both simultaneously. Using both power sources at once is not supported and should be avoided. PoE via a compliant network switch is the most common and convenient method for new installations.
- What SIP features does the 2N IP Solo support?
The unit supports SIP 2.0 for call routing and can integrate with SIP PBX systems, cloud voice platforms, or on-premises telephony infrastructure. Additional supported protocols include ONVIF, SMTP, 802.1x, RTSP, RTP, TFTP, HTTP, HTTPS, and Syslog, allowing integration with broader building management and network security frameworks.
- Can the 2N IP Solo control an electric strike or magnetic lock directly?
Yes. The unit includes a built-in switch output with NC/NO contacts rated at 30 V and 1 A for both AC and DC loads. This allows direct connection to most standard electric strikes or magnetic locks, removing the need for a separate relay module in single-door deployments.
- Is the 2N IP Solo suitable for outdoor installation in Australia?
The IP54 rating provides protection against dust ingress and water splashing from any direction, while the IK08 impact rating handles moderate mechanical contact. The operating temperature range of -40 to 60 degrees C covers Australian climate extremes from alpine winter conditions to hot northern summer environments. It is suited to covered outdoor entries rather than fully exposed locations with direct rain exposure. The 2N IP Solo without camera in black is available through Security Wholesalers for Australian projects.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat5e or Cat6 UTP or FTP is recommended for the network and PoE connection. Use shielded cable (FTP/STP) in environments with high electrical interference, such as near lift motors or industrial equipment.
- Maximum Cable Run: Standard PoE cable runs should not exceed 100 m from the PoE switch to the intercom unit, in line with IEEE 802.3 specifications for 10/100BASE-TX over twisted pair.
- PoE Considerations: The 2N IP Solo draws power as a Class 0 802.3af device (up to 12.95 W). Confirm that the PoE switch port supplying this unit is 802.3af compliant and not restricted to a lower wattage output. Do not use passive PoE injectors as these may not meet the voltage and power delivery requirements.
- Wiring Tips: The door release relay output uses NC/NO contacts rated at 30 V / 1 A AC/DC. Run a separate two-core cable from the intercom’s switch output terminals to the electric strike or magnetic lock. Keep this low-voltage door release cable separate from mains wiring and comply with applicable Australian wiring standards. Confirm lock power supply polarity and lock type (fail-safe or fail-secure) before connecting.
