Product Overview
For residential apartment entries, office reception points, and gated commercial premises where audio-only access is preferred, the 2N IP Solo Surface Mount IP Intercom delivers a compact, professional-grade door station in a nickel finish without a built-in camera. This surface-mount unit connects directly to SIP 2.0-compatible systems, enabling calls to smartphones, IP phones, or any registered SIP endpoint, making it a practical fit for new and retrofit IP intercom deployments. Featuring full-duplex two-way audio with acoustic echo cancellation, a 2 W built-in speaker, and a built-in microphone, conversations at the door are clear at both ends. Equipped with PoE 802.3af support, it draws power directly from a compatible switch or injector over a single Cat-5e cable. With an IP54 weather resistance rating and IK08 vandal resistance, the 02203-001 is well suited to surface-mounted entry points exposed to weather and high-traffic use. It integrates with home automation platforms via open API and supports up to 1,999 phone book positions and 20 user time profiles.
Key Capabilities
Full-Duplex Two-Way Audio
A built-in microphone and 2 W / 8 ohm speaker provide real-time full-duplex voice communication. Acoustic echo cancellation prevents feedback during calls, making conversations clear at both ends regardless of ambient noise near the entry point.
SIP 2.0 Integration
Native SIP 2.0 support enables direct connection to IP PBX systems, SIP servers, and cloud-based VoIP platforms. With 1,999 phone book positions and 20 user time profiles, the unit suits multi-tenant residential buildings and commercial sites with complex call routing requirements.
Single-Cable PoE Power
Powered by PoE 802.3af (Class 0, up to 12.95 W) over Cat-5e or higher, the intercom requires no separate power run to the door. This simplifies surface-mount installation at apartment entries, office lobbies, and shopfronts where conduit access is limited.
IP54 and IK08 Durability
An IP54 ingress protection rating guards against dust and water spray, while the IK08 impact rating handles knocks and tampering at publicly accessible entry points. A built-in tamper switch provides an alert if the unit is interfered with or removed from the wall.
Open API and Home Automation Compatibility
An open API allows integration with home automation platforms and building management systems. Combined with 802.1x network authentication support and configuration via web interface or dedicated PC application, the IP Solo fits into managed, multi-system environments.
Best For
- Residential apartment entry points: The 1,999 phone book positions and SIP 2.0 support make the IP Solo well matched to multi-tenant residential buildings where audio calls to individual units are required without a built-in camera.
- Office and commercial reception doors: Surface-mount installation with a nickel finish suits professional interior and exterior entry applications, while PoE power simplifies deployment in office fit-outs with structured cabling in place.
- SIP and VoIP-integrated access systems: Where an existing IP PBX or SIP server is already deployed, the 02203-001 connects directly without additional gateways or analog adapters, reducing system complexity.
- Entry points requiring tamper detection: The built-in tamper switch triggers an alert if the unit is displaced from the mounting surface, adding a layer of physical security beyond the IK08 impact resistance rating.
Why Choose the 2N IP Solo
The 2N IP Solo (02203-001) addresses a specific gap in IP intercom deployments where audio access at the door is the primary requirement and camera coverage is handled separately or is not needed. Unlike basic analog or proprietary door stations, this unit supports SIP 2.0 natively, enabling it to register directly with an IP PBX and route calls to any SIP-registered device including smartphones and desk phones. Full-duplex two-way audio with acoustic echo cancellation, G.711, G.729, G.722, and L16/16 kHz codec support, and a 78 dB sound pressure level at 1 m make it audibly clear in noisy entry environments. The IK08 impact rating and built-in tamper switch set it apart from lighter-duty alternatives at high-traffic entry points. Manufactured in the Czech Republic and TAA compliant, it also meets procurement requirements for certain government and institutional projects. The 2N IP Solo is available at Security Wholesalers for professional installers and integrators across Australia.
Buyer Decision Tips
No Camera on This Variant: The 02203-001 is the camera-less version of the 2N IP Solo. If visual verification of visitors at the entry point is required, consider a 2N IP intercom variant with an integrated camera. If your site uses a separate IP camera covering the entry approach, this audio-only model keeps costs down while maintaining full SIP intercom functionality.
SIP Server Requirement: The IP Solo connects via SIP 2.0, so your installation must include a compatible SIP server, IP PBX, or hosted VoIP platform for call routing. If you are starting from scratch without any SIP infrastructure, factor in the server or cloud VoIP service as part of the total system design before specifying this unit.

Ideal Use Cases
Multi-Tenant Residential Buildings
The 1,999 phone book positions and 20 user time profiles accommodate large apartment complexes where individual resident call routing is required. SIP 2.0 support allows calls to forward directly to resident smartphones or handsets.
Office and Corporate Reception Entries
The nickel surface-mount finish suits professional interior lobbies and exterior office entry doors. PoE power over Cat-5e integrates cleanly with structured cabling infrastructure already installed in commercial fit-outs.
Gated Property and Secondary Entry Points
Where a camera already covers a gated entry approach, the IP Solo provides the audio intercom function without duplicating video hardware. IP54 weather resistance and IK08 impact protection handle outdoor exposure at gates and side entries.
Home Automation Integrated Residences
Open API support enables the IP Solo to connect with home automation platforms, triggering events such as door unlock or lighting changes on visitor call. RTSP and 802.1x support allow integration into managed smart home networks.
Government and Institutional Facilities
TAA compliance and Czech Republic manufacturing make the 02203-001 suitable for government procurement projects with country-of-origin requirements. The tamper switch and IK08 rating add physical integrity at secure entry points.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a clean audio-only IP intercom with SIP 2.0 support, PoE single-cable installation, a large phone book for multi-tenant routing, and IK08 vandal resistance at a surface-mount entry point, with camera coverage handled by a separate IP camera at the same location.
- Choose a different model if: You need integrated video at the intercom station so the person answering can see the visitor before responding – in that case, select a 2N intercom variant with a built-in camera. If your site uses analog intercom wiring rather than structured Cat-5e, a SIP-based unit like this will require infrastructure changes before it can be deployed.
FAQs
- Does the 2N IP Solo 02203-001 include a camera?
No. This SKU is the camera-less variant of the 2N IP Solo. It provides full-duplex two-way audio intercom functionality via SIP 2.0 without any integrated video. If your entry point requires visual verification of visitors through the intercom unit itself, a different 2N intercom model with an integrated camera should be selected instead.
- What power options are available for the IP Solo?
The unit supports PoE 802.3af (Class 0, up to 12.95 W) over a Cat-5e or higher cable, allowing a single network cable to carry both data and power to the door station. Alternatively, a 12 V / 2 A DC power supply can be used if PoE infrastructure is not available at the mounting location.
- Can the IP Solo call directly to a smartphone?
Yes. Because the unit registers with a SIP 2.0-compatible server or IP PBX, incoming door calls can be routed to any SIP-registered endpoint including smartphone apps that support SIP. This allows residents or staff to answer the door intercom from their mobile devices without additional proprietary hardware.
- How is the 2N IP Solo configured and managed?
Configuration is performed through a standard web interface accessible via browser, or through a dedicated PC application. The unit supports DHCP for automatic IP assignment and 802.1x network authentication for managed enterprise network environments. No proprietary hardware controller is required for basic setup.
- Is the IP Solo suitable for outdoor surface-mount installation?
Yes. The IP54 rating protects against dust ingress and water spray from any direction, making it suitable for covered outdoor entry points such as apartment building porticos, office building facades, and covered gatehouses. The IK08 impact rating provides resistance to knocks at publicly accessible locations, and the built-in tamper switch alerts if the unit is removed from the wall.
- What audio codecs does the IP Solo support?
The unit supports G.711, G.729, G.722, and L16/16 kHz audio codecs. G.722 provides wideband audio for improved voice clarity, while G.729 enables low-bandwidth SIP operation where network capacity is constrained. The built-in speaker produces 78 dB at 1 kHz / 1 m, which is audible in moderately noisy outdoor entry environments.
- Where can I source the 2N IP Solo for a commercial installation project?
The 2N IP Solo (02203-001) is part of the Security Wholesalers range, available to professional installers and integrators across Australia. Security Wholesalers carries the broader 2N intercom product line, making it straightforward to specify complementary access control hardware alongside this unit for complete entry system projects.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat-5e or higher is recommended for both network data and PoE power delivery. Standard Cat-5e is sufficient for the PoE 802.3af Class 0 power budget of this unit.
- Maximum Cable Run: Standard PoE cable runs up to 100 m are supported from a PoE switch or injector to the intercom unit. Runs beyond 100 m will require a PoE extender to maintain reliable power and data delivery.
- PoE Considerations: The IP Solo draws up to 12.95 W under PoE 802.3af Class 0. Confirm your PoE switch or injector provides at least this per-port budget. Where 12 V DC power is preferred, a separate 12 V / 2 A supply is required and no PoE switch is needed.
- Wiring Tips: For surface-mount installations, route the Cat-5e cable through the wall cavity before fitting the surface-mount frame to achieve a clean finish. Avoid running the intercom cable in the same conduit as mains electrical wiring, as this can introduce interference on the audio circuit. Terminate with a standard RJ-45 connector rated for the cable category used.
