Product Overview
For entry points where a clean architectural finish matters and camera-based verification is not required, the 2N IP Solo Flush Mount without camera delivers a compact, single-button IP intercom built to integrate directly into SIP telephone networks and home automation platforms. Designed for flush installation into walls and door columns, this model sits nearly flush with the surface using a slim frame, giving residential foyers, office entries, and secure access points a refined look in a nickel finish. Featuring native SIP 2.0 support, full-duplex audio with acoustic echo cancellation, and a 2 W Class D amplifier driving a built-in speaker, it handles clear two-way voice communication at the door without requiring a separate audio controller. Equipped with PoE 802.3af, it draws power directly from the network cable, simplifying installation. It also includes 2N Gold Licenses and an IK08-rated, IP54-sealed housing that handles outdoor exposure and incidental impact at entry doors.
Key Capabilities
Native SIP 2.0 Integration
The 2N IP Solo registers directly on existing SIP phone systems and PBX platforms without additional middleware. Visitors trigger a call to any SIP endpoint, whether a desk phone, softphone, or mobile, allowing door release from anywhere on the network.
Full-Duplex Audio with AEC
Built-in microphone, a 2 W Class D amplifier, and a 2 W / 8 ohm speaker combine to deliver two-way voice communication at the door. Acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) ensures natural conversation clarity even at close range in reflective entryways.
Flush Mount Design
The slim flush frame (130 x 153 x 5 mm) sits nearly flat against the wall surface, requiring a minimum back box cutout of approximately 108 x 131 x 45 mm. This suits architecturally finished entries where a surface-mount box would look out of place.
PoE-Powered, Single-Cable Install
Accepts PoE 802.3af (Class 0, up to 12.95 W) or a local 12 V DC supply, so a single Cat-5e or better cable delivers both data and power to the door. This reduces conduit requirements and simplifies retrofit installations in existing buildings.
IP54 and IK08 Rated Housing
The IP54 rating handles dust and water splash at covered entry doors, while IK08 impact resistance protects against opportunistic vandalism. Combined with the built-in tamper switch, the unit alerts the system if the front panel is forcibly removed.
Best For
- SIP-Based Office Entry: Organisations running a SIP PBX or hosted VoIP system can register the IP Solo directly, routing visitor calls to reception or a designated extension without additional hardware.
- High-End Residential Foyers: The flush-mount nickel finish suits premium apartment entries and architecturally designed homes where a surface-mount intercom box would detract from the finished look.
- Home Automation Integration: Connects natively with home automation platforms via standard network protocols, allowing door unlock events to trigger lighting, logging, or access rules through the same network infrastructure.
- Single-Tenant Access Points: The single transparent button with white backlight is designed for single-call-destination applications, making it appropriate for a dedicated entry to one apartment, one office, or one secure area.
Why Choose the 2N IP Solo Flush Mount Without Camera
Where a camera is not required at the door, the 2N IP Solo without camera focuses all its capability on audio quality and network integration. The confirmed 2 W Class D amplifier with full-duplex AEC delivers noticeably cleaner conversation at the door compared to lower-spec intercoms using passive audio circuits. The inclusion of 2N Gold Licenses adds advanced functionality out of the box, covering features that would otherwise require a separate licence purchase on other 2N models. The flush mount format requires accurate back box preparation but results in a finish that surface-mount alternatives simply cannot match. With passive switch contacts rated to 30 V / 1 A AC/DC and active switch outputs up to 12 V DC, door release integration with standard electric strikes and magnetic locks is straightforward. Available at Security Wholesalers, the IP Solo without camera is a strong choice when the brief calls for clean architecture, SIP compatibility, and professional audio at the entry point.
Buyer Decision Tips
Flush Mount Preparation: The minimum cutout required in the wall or door column is approximately 108 mm wide x 131 mm high x 45 mm deep. Confirm this with your flush box before ordering. If the wall substrate does not allow a recess of at least 45 mm depth, a surface-mount version of the 2N IP Solo is likely the more practical choice for that installation.
No Camera on This Model: This unit has no built-in camera. Visitor identification is audio-only. If visual verification of visitors is required at the door, a 2N IP Solo with camera variant is the appropriate alternative. Choose this camera-free model only where video at the intercom point is deliberately not needed or is covered by a separate camera mounted nearby.

Ideal Use Cases
Apartment Building Entry
The single-button flush-mount design suits single-tenant or dedicated-entry apartment points where one call destination is required. SIP registration routes the door call directly to the resident’s phone or intercom handset inside the unit.
Corporate Office Reception
Offices running SIP PBX systems can register the IP Solo directly, sending visitor calls to a reception extension or ring group. The IK08 rating and tamper switch provide resilience at a staffed front door that sees regular traffic.
Smart Home or Home Automation Entry
The IP Solo interfaces with home automation systems over standard network protocols. Visitor arrival at the door can trigger lighting scenes, unlock events, or access logs through the same IP network, using the passive and active switch outputs for door release control.
Architecturally Finished Entries
The slim nickel flush frame produces a nearly flat wall finish that suits high-end residential and commercial fitouts where a protruding surface-mount intercom would be visually inconsistent with the surrounding materials and hardware.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your installation uses a SIP-based phone system or PBX, requires a flush-mount finish in nickel, does not need a built-in camera at the intercom point, and the wall or door column allows for a minimum recess depth of 45 mm for the back box.
- Choose a different model if: You need visual verification of visitors at the door, in which case a 2N IP Solo variant with an integrated camera is the appropriate choice. If the mounting surface cannot accommodate a flush back box, a surface-mount IP intercom will be more practical to install and service.
FAQs
- Does the 2N IP Solo without camera support two-way audio at the door?
Yes. This model includes a built-in microphone and a 2 W / 8 ohm speaker driven by a 2 W Class D amplifier. Full-duplex audio with acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) allows natural two-way conversation between the visitor at the door and whoever answers the SIP call, without the echo or clipping common in half-duplex systems.
- How does the flush mount installation work?
The unit uses a slim front frame (approximately 130 mm wide x 153 mm high x 5 mm deep) that sits flush against the wall. A back box or recess must be prepared in the wall first, with a minimum cutout of approximately 108 mm wide x 131 mm high x 45 mm deep. The required depth is the most critical dimension to confirm before installation begins, particularly in masonry or tiled surfaces.
- What door release hardware is compatible with the IP Solo?
The passive switch output supports NO/NC contacts rated up to 30 V / 1 A AC/DC, which covers most standard electric strikes and magnetic lock controllers. Active switch outputs provide up to 12 V DC. This covers the majority of common door hardware used in residential and light commercial access control.
- What SIP infrastructure does this intercom require?
The 2N IP Solo requires a SIP 2.0-compatible server or PBX on the same network, or a hosted SIP/VoIP provider. It registers as a standard SIP endpoint. No proprietary server or dedicated intercom management software is required for basic operation, though the 2N Gold Licences included with this unit unlock advanced features within the 2N management ecosystem.
- Is the IP Solo rated for outdoor use at an exposed entry door?
It carries an IP54 rating, which protects against dust ingress and water splash from any direction. This is suitable for covered entry doors and porticos. It is not rated for direct rain exposure without overhead protection. The IK08 impact rating and built-in tamper switch add resilience against physical interference at the door.
- What are the 2N Gold Licences that come included, and do I need to activate them?
2N Gold Licences extend the feature set of 2N IP intercoms beyond the standard (Basic) level, enabling capabilities such as enhanced automation, additional integrations, and expanded access control rules. They are pre-included with this unit rather than sold separately, which represents meaningful value. Activation is handled through the 2N device management interface. Contact Security Wholesalers if you need guidance on licence activation or integration with your existing system.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat-5e or higher (Cat-6 recommended for new installations) for the network and PoE connection. Use shielded cable (STP/FTP) in environments with electrical interference near the cable run.
- Maximum Cable Run: Up to 100 m for PoE over Cat-5e or Cat-6, in accordance with 802.3af standards. Beyond 100 m, a PoE extender or midspan injector with a local power source will be required.
- PoE Considerations: The IP Solo accepts PoE 802.3af Class 0 (up to 12.95 W). Confirm that the supplying PoE switch or injector provides at least Class 0 power budget per port. Passive PoE injectors are not compatible.
- Door Release Wiring: The passive switch (NO/NC, up to 30 V / 1 A AC/DC) connects directly to compatible electric strike or magnetic lock controllers using standard low-voltage cable. Run this cable through the same conduit or back box as the data cable where possible to keep the installation tidy and reduce exposed wiring at the door frame.
