Key Capabilities
7-Inch Capacitive Touchscreen
The 1024x600px colour display provides a sharp, responsive interface for answering calls, controlling door locks, and managing smart home devices. The capacitive touch panel works reliably in indoor environments and suits high-traffic reception and apartment lobby installations.
Dual-Band Wi-Fi and PoE
Supports PoE 802.3af for clean single-cable installation and dual-band 802.11ac/n Wi-Fi as a simultaneous alternative or supplement. This flexibility allows installers to commission units in locations where running a fresh data cable to the wall panel is not practical.
Two-Way Audio with Induction Loop
The integrated 2W/8-ohm speaker and built-in microphone enable clear two-way communication with door station visitors. An induction loop output at 600mV RMS is included for hearing loop-compatible environments, supporting accessible building compliance in apartments and public facilities.
Smart Home Device Control
Beyond intercom calls, the touchscreen interface supports direct control of connected devices including air conditioning, lighting, and elevator systems. This positions the 2N Indoor View Black as a central in-wall control point rather than a simple call answering unit.
Remote Access via 2N Mobile Video
Calls and door control can be extended to a resident’s smartphone using the 2N Mobile Video app, allowing occupants to answer the door remotely. This is useful for apartments where residents may be in a different room or temporarily away from the monitor.
Best For
- Apartment Buildings: The flush-mount form factor and tempered glass black fascia integrate neatly into apartment entry corridors and unit doorways, keeping walls clean without surface-mounted boxes.
- Corporate and Office Receptions: The 7-inch touchscreen and remote door unlock capability allow reception staff to manage visitor entry without leaving their station, supported by the PoE single-cable installation.
- Smart Home and Building Automation Projects: Direct control of HVAC, lighting, and elevator systems from the touchscreen makes this unit a practical hub for integrators working on automated residential or mixed-use projects.
- Accessible Building Environments: The confirmed induction loop output supports hearing loop compliance, making this answering station suitable for disability access requirements in public and commercial buildings.
Why Choose the 2N Indoor View Black
Where a basic residential handset would only answer a call and release a door, the 2N Indoor View Black consolidates visitor communication, door control, smart home automation, and remote mobile access into a single flush-mounted 7-inch panel. The tempered glass black housing is built to a standard that matches premium interior fitouts, and the simultaneous support for PoE 802.3af and dual-band Wi-Fi gives installers a genuine choice of connection method rather than forcing a fixed approach. The confirmed induction loop output at 600mV RMS is a capability absent from most residential intercom answering stations, extending suitability to compliant accessible-design projects. Audio codec support for G.722 provides wideband voice quality well above the standard G.711 used in basic SIP systems. Available through Security Wholesalers, the 2N Indoor View Black is a considered specification for integrators who need more than a plain call station on the wall.
Buyer Decision Tips
Flush Mount Installation Requirement: This unit requires a dedicated installation box recessed into the wall before the monitor can be fitted. The unit dimensions are 157mm H x 193mm W x 50mm D and the depth of the wall cavity must accommodate this before purchase. If a surface-mount solution is needed for the same location, verify whether a surface-mount version or bracket accessory is available through your distributor before ordering.
System Compatibility: The 2N Indoor View is an answering station designed to operate within a 2N IP intercom ecosystem. It is not a standalone intercom and requires a compatible 2N IP door station on the entry side. Confirm the door station model and software version are compatible with this indoor unit before specifying it on a multi-site or retrofit project.

Ideal Use Cases
Multi-Residential Apartment Buildings
The flush-mount design and tempered glass black finish suit in-wall installation inside individual apartment units. Residents can answer calls, view the door station feed, and release entry locks from the 7-inch touchscreen without picking up a handset.
Corporate Office Entry Control
Wall-mounted in a reception area or at an internal access point, the 2N Indoor View Black gives staff a clear visual and audio channel to screen visitors and release doors remotely, supported by the PoE 802.3af single-cable connection.
Smart Building and Automation Installations
Direct touchscreen control of air conditioning, lighting, and elevator systems makes this unit practical for building integrators specifying a single wall panel to handle both intercom and smart home device management.
Accessible and Compliant Building Design
The confirmed induction loop output at 600mV RMS supports hearing loop compatibility, making the 2N Indoor View Black a suitable specification for projects with accessibility compliance requirements in public, aged care, or government buildings.
Wi-Fi Retrofit Projects
Where running Cat5e to a wall-mounted answering station is not feasible during a renovation or retrofit, the built-in 802.11ac dual-band Wi-Fi allows network connectivity without breaking into existing wall infrastructure.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are specifying a flush-mount answering station for a 2N IP intercom system in a modern apartment, corporate office, or smart building project where wall aesthetics, hearing loop compliance, and smart home device control are requirements.
- Choose a different model if: You need a surface-mount answering station without recessing into the wall, or if the installation does not involve a 2N IP door station on the entry side. A basic SIP handset or a surface-mount IP monitor may be more practical for straightforward or budget-sensitive intercom installations.
- Choose a different model if: The installation requires outdoor placement or exposure to dust and moisture. The 2N Indoor View Black carries no confirmed IP or IK rating and is designed strictly for protected indoor environments.
FAQs
- Does the 2N Indoor View Black work as a standalone intercom unit?
No. The 2N Indoor View Black is an answering station designed to function within a 2N IP intercom system. It requires a compatible 2N IP door station installed at the entry point to handle the camera, call initiation, and access control on the visitor side. It cannot operate independently as a complete intercom solution.
- What type of wall installation does this unit require?
The 2N Indoor View Black is a flush-mount unit. Installation requires a recessed wall box to house the unit before the monitor is fitted. The unit dimensions are approximately 157mm H x 193mm W x 50mm D, so the wall cavity depth must be confirmed before installation. A UTP cable is required to connect the unit to the network.
- Can this unit connect via Wi-Fi instead of a network cable?
Yes. The 2N Indoor View Black supports dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz, 802.11n and 802.11ac) with a built-in antenna. It can operate over Wi-Fi, PoE Ethernet, or both simultaneously. This makes it suitable for retrofits where running a new data cable is not feasible without significant wall disruption.
- Does this answering station support two-way audio?
Yes. The unit has both an integrated microphone and an integrated 2W/8-ohm speaker, enabling two-way voice communication with visitors at the connected door station. Audio codec support includes G.722 for wideband audio quality, as well as G.711a/u, G.729, and L16/16kHz.
- What is the induction loop output on this unit used for?
The 600mV RMS induction loop output allows the 2N Indoor View Black to be connected to a hearing induction loop system. This is relevant for building projects with accessibility compliance requirements, such as aged care facilities, government buildings, or public residential developments where hearing-impaired occupants need to use the intercom without difficulty.
- Can residents answer intercom calls on their smartphone instead of the wall panel?
Yes. Through the 2N Mobile Video app, calls and door release control can be forwarded to a resident’s smartphone. This means occupants do not need to be physically at the wall panel to answer a visitor, which is useful in larger apartments or for temporary absence from the room.
- Is the 2N Indoor View Black rated for outdoor or semi-outdoor installation?
No. The manufacturer confirms no IP or IK rating for this unit. It is an indoor-only answering station intended for installation inside a building in a protected, climate-controlled environment. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C with 10-90% non-condensing humidity.

Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat5e or higher UTP cable is recommended by the manufacturer for LAN connection via the RJ-45 10/100BaseT port.
- PoE Considerations: The 2N Indoor View Black is IEEE 802.3af certified. A PoE switch or injector supplying 802.3af power is sufficient to power the unit over the same Cat5e cable used for network connectivity, eliminating the need for a separate 12V DC adapter in most installations.
- Wi-Fi Option: If a cabled connection is not practical, the built-in dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz, 802.11ac/n) can be used as the primary or supplementary network connection. The unit supports simultaneous Ethernet and Wi-Fi operation.
- Wiring Tips: The flush-mount installation box must be fitted into the wall cavity before cabling is terminated. Run Cat5e from the nearest PoE switch to the installation box location and allow sufficient cable slack inside the box before connecting the unit. Confirm cable run lengths comply with standard 100m Ethernet limits from the switch.
