Key Capabilities
7-Inch Capacitive Touchscreen
The 1024×600 px tempered glass display provides a crisp, responsive interface for answering door calls, viewing live video from the door station, and controlling access. The capacitive panel registers clean taps without requiring firm pressure, making it practical for all users including elderly residents.
Two-Way Audio with Induction Loop
With an integrated microphone and 2 W speaker, the Indoor View supports clear two-way voice communication with visitors at the door. The induction loop output at 600 mV RMS makes this unit accessible to users with hearing aids, which is particularly relevant in aged care and assisted living installations.
Smart Home Device Control
Beyond intercom use, the Indoor View allows control of integrated smart home devices directly from the touchscreen, including lighting, air conditioning, and elevator systems. This positions it as a central in-unit control point in smart apartment and commercial building deployments.
PoE Powered with DC Fallback
The unit accepts both PoE 802.3af via the RJ-45 port and a 12 V / 1 A DC supply, giving installers flexibility when structured cabling is already in place or when a local power source is more practical. Reverse polarity protection is included as standard.
SIP-Based Video Communication
Supporting H.264 and MJPEG video codecs alongside G.711, G.722, G.729, and L16 audio codecs, the Indoor View integrates with standard SIP infrastructure. This allows deployment in existing VoIP environments and enterprise telephony systems without requiring a proprietary platform.

Why Choose the 2N Indoor View
The 2N Indoor View stands apart from basic audio-only answering units by providing a fully visual, touchscreen-driven experience in a compact wall-mount format. The 7-inch 1024×600 display lets occupants see the visitor clearly before granting access, while the integrated 2 W speaker and microphone allow hands-free communication without additional hardware. The induction loop output is a feature rarely seen on indoor intercom stations at this form factor, addressing accessibility compliance requirements in aged care and public-facing building projects. Smart home integration means the unit can serve double duty as a room control interface, reducing the need for separate wall panels. With a 5-year manufacturer warranty and PoE 802.3af support, the Indoor View is a long-term investment suitable for managed building environments. The 02088-001 white version is available through Security Wholesalers for installers and integrators working on residential and commercial intercom deployments across Australia.
Buyer Tip – Compatibility: The 2N Indoor View is an indoor answering station only – it does not operate as a standalone intercom. It requires a compatible 2N IP door station (such as a 2N IP Verso, 2N IP Force, or 2N IP Solo unit) to form a complete system. Before purchasing the Indoor View, confirm that the door station on your project is running compatible 2N firmware and that your network supports SIP signalling between the two devices. For multi-tenant deployments, check whether your 2N door station licence covers the number of indoor units you plan to register.
Buyer Tip – Placement and Mounting: At 193 x 157 x 50 mm and 555 g, the Indoor View is designed for flush or surface wall mounting at a comfortable viewing height for standing adults, typically 150 to 160 cm centre height. Because it uses PoE, a single Cat5e or higher cable carries both power and data to the unit, simplifying the wall cavity penetration. Plan your cable route before the wall is finished, as the unit’s depth of 50 mm requires adequate clearance behind the mounting surface for the cable termination.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Apartment Buildings
Each apartment unit gets its own Indoor View station for video call answering and remote door release. The wall-mount form factor suits standard apartment entryway walls, and PoE delivery keeps the cable count to a single Cat5e run per unit.
Aged Care and Disability Accommodation
The induction loop output at 600 mV RMS provides direct audio coupling to hearing aids, supporting accessibility requirements in aged care facilities. The large capacitive touchscreen reduces the need for precise button pressing, accommodating residents with limited dexterity.
Smart Office and Commercial Tenancies
In commercial fitouts with integrated building management, the Indoor View’s smart device control functionality allows staff to manage lighting, climate, and lift access from the same touchscreen used for visitor entry, reducing the number of wall panels required at each workstation or reception area.
Enterprise SIP and VoIP Deployments
Supporting G.711, G.722, G.729, and L16 audio codecs alongside H.264 video, the Indoor View integrates cleanly with existing SIP telephony infrastructure. This suits large enterprise or government buildings where the intercom system must coexist with a managed VoIP phone environment.
Student Accommodation and Co-Living
In high-density student accommodation, the Do Not Disturb mode and device lock features allow residents to manage their availability and restrict access to settings. The 7-inch display provides a clear visual of visitors at shared entry points, supporting safe visitor management in busy communal living environments.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a white indoor answering station with a 7-inch touchscreen, PoE power delivery, two-way audio, hearing loop output, and smart home device control for a 2N SIP-based intercom installation in a residential, commercial, or aged care building.
- Choose the black variant (02087-001) if: Your interior design or fitout specification calls for a black finish to match dark switchplates, dark-toned joinery, or a modern industrial aesthetic, as the black version shares the same technical specification as this white unit.
- Choose a different product if: You need a standalone intercom with its own camera and outdoor door station capability – the Indoor View is an indoor answering unit only and must be paired with a compatible 2N IP door station to function as a complete entry system.
- Choose a different product if: Your installation requires an IP rating for use in damp or outdoor-exposed areas – the Indoor View is rated for indoor use only with an operating humidity ceiling of 90% non-condensing and no published ingress protection rating.
FAQs
- Does the 2N Indoor View work as a standalone intercom unit?
No. The Indoor View is an indoor answering station designed to work as part of a 2N SIP-based intercom system. It must be paired with a compatible 2N IP door station, which provides the camera, keypad, and outdoor housing. The Indoor View handles the indoor video display, two-way audio, and door release functions only.
- Can the Indoor View be powered without a PoE switch?
Yes. The unit supports both PoE 802.3af via its RJ-45 port and a 12 V / 1 A DC power supply. If your installation location does not have a PoE-capable switch nearby, a local 12 V DC adapter can power the unit independently. Reverse polarity protection is built in for added wiring safety.
- What type of cable is recommended for the Indoor View?
2N recommends Cat5e or higher structured cabling for network and PoE connection to the Indoor View. A single Cat5e cable carries both data and power when using PoE 802.3af, simplifying the wall installation to a single cable penetration per unit.
- Does the Indoor View support hearing aid users?
Yes. The unit includes an induction loop output at 600 mV RMS, which provides a magnetic audio field that couples directly to compatible hearing aids set to the T-coil (telecoil) position. This feature supports accessibility compliance requirements in aged care, disability accommodation, and public-facing commercial buildings.
- What smart home devices can be controlled from the Indoor View touchscreen?
The Indoor View supports control of integrated smart home systems including lighting, air conditioning, and elevator access directly from its 7-inch touchscreen interface. The specific devices controllable depend on the building management or smart home platform connected to the 2N system. Confirm compatibility with your building automation integrator before specifying this feature.
- What is the display resolution and is the touchscreen responsive to light touch?
The display runs at 1024 x 600 px on a 7-inch tempered glass capacitive panel. Capacitive technology registers a light finger touch accurately without requiring firm pressure, making it noticeably more responsive than older resistive touchscreens commonly found on legacy intercom units. This is relevant in high-use residential or commercial installations where many users interact with the screen daily.
- Where can I purchase the 2N Indoor View in Australia?
The 2N Indoor View 02088-001 in white is part of the Security Wholesalers range, available to installers and integrators through their online store. For multi-unit orders or project-volume pricing, contact Security Wholesalers directly to discuss availability and lead times for your deployment.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat5e or higher is recommended for both network connectivity and PoE power delivery to the Indoor View. Use shielded (STP) cable in environments with significant electrical interference such as plant rooms or areas near high-voltage runs.
- PoE Cable Run: As an 802.3af PoE device, the Indoor View follows the standard 100-metre maximum cable run limit from the PoE switch or PoE injector to the unit. For runs approaching this limit, test for voltage drop before finalising the installation.
- Doorbell Input Wiring: The doorbell input uses a normally open (NO) switching contact rated up to 50 V / 5 mA DC. Use a low-voltage rated two-core cable for this connection and keep it separate from mains wiring to avoid interference.
- Wiring Tips: Pre-route Cat5e to each indoor unit location before wall finishing, ensuring the cable terminates cleanly behind the mounting surface. The unit depth is 50 mm, so allow sufficient back-box or cavity depth to accommodate the RJ-45 termination without sharp bends that could degrade PoE performance or signal quality over time.
