Product Overview
For building entry points where visual verification is handled separately, the 2N IP Solo delivers a surface-mount IP intercom focused entirely on clear, dependable voice communication. This audio-only variant carries no camera, making it the right fit for installations where a dedicated IP camera already covers the door or gate, or where privacy considerations limit camera use at an entry point. Equipped with a 2 W full-duplex speaker, a built-in microphone, and acoustic echo cancellation, it delivers natural, interruption-free conversation between visitor and occupant. SIP 2.0 (RFC-3261) compatibility means it integrates directly with existing SIP PBX systems, VoIP platforms, or supported desk phones and softphones. Powered via PoE 802.3af or 12 V DC, it suits both new cable runs and existing infrastructure. With IP54 weather resistance and an IK08 impact rating, the IP Solo is built to handle outdoor entry conditions across a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +60°C.
Key Capabilities
Full-Duplex Audio with AEC
The built-in microphone and 2 W class D speaker operate in full-duplex mode with acoustic echo cancellation, so both the visitor and the recipient can speak and be heard simultaneously without cut-outs or feedback, even in noisy outdoor entry environments.
SIP 2.0 Protocol Integration
SIP 2.0 (RFC-3261) support allows the IP Solo to register directly with a SIP PBX, hosted VoIP server, or compatible IP phone system. This means incoming calls from the door button can ring a desk phone, softphone, or mobile app without requiring a proprietary intercom controller.
IP54 and IK08 Outdoor Protection
Certified to IP54 for dust and splash resistance and IK08 for impact resistance, the surface-mount housing is built for exposed entry locations including apartment building entrances, commercial pedestrian gates, and outdoor reception access points that see regular foot traffic.
Flexible PoE or DC Power
The IP Solo accepts power via PoE 802.3af (Class 0, up to 12.95 W) or 12 V DC, giving installers the choice of a single-cable Ethernet run or integration into an existing low-voltage power supply, depending on what the site already supports.
Extreme Temperature Range
With an operating range of -40°C to +60°C, the IP Solo functions reliably across Australian climatic extremes, from cold-climate alpine entry points to rooftop plant room access doors exposed to full sun in warmer states, without any additional housing or thermal management.
Best For
- Apartments and Multi-Tenancy Buildings: The single-button SIP call design suits building entry points where residents answer via a SIP-registered phone or mobile app, with no need for a keypad or touchscreen.
- Commercial Pedestrian Gates and Secure Entry Doors: The IK08 impact rating and IP54 weather seal make this suitable for outdoor pedestrian access points that experience physical contact or vandal risk.
- Installations with Dedicated Camera Coverage: Where a separate IP camera already monitors the door or entry area, the audio-only IP Solo avoids duplication and keeps the door station profile minimal and uncluttered.
- SIP PBX and VoIP Environments: Businesses running an existing SIP PBX or hosted VoIP system can integrate this intercom directly without additional middleware, controllers, or proprietary apps.
Why Choose the 2N IP Solo (02202-001)
The 2N IP Solo in its audio-only black surface-mount configuration is a deliberately focused product. Where camera intercoms add cost and complexity, this model strips the station back to what a voice-call entry point actually needs: a clear speaker, a built-in microphone, full-duplex audio with AEC, and native SIP 2.0 signalling. The 78 dB sound pressure level at 1 m ensures the visitor can be heard clearly even in moderately noisy outdoor environments. Support for G.711, G.722, G.729, and L16/16kHz codecs gives system integrators codec flexibility to match the existing PBX or VoIP platform. The built-in tamper switch and IK08 impact rating add physical security at the door station itself. Available at Security Wholesalers, the IP Solo suits integrators who want a standards-based, open-protocol intercom that connects to their existing SIP infrastructure rather than a closed proprietary system.
Buyer Decision Tips
Audio-Only vs. Camera Variant: This SKU (02202-001) has no camera. If visual verification at the door is required and no separate IP camera already covers that position, consider whether the camera-equipped 2N IP Solo variant is the better fit before ordering. If a dedicated CCTV camera already covers the entry, this audio-only model avoids overlap and keeps the door station clean.
SIP Server Requirement: The IP Solo is a SIP endpoint, not a standalone intercom system. It requires a SIP server, PBX, or hosted VoIP account to route calls to a phone or softphone. Confirm the SIP infrastructure is in place before installation. The device supports 802.1x network authentication, which is relevant for managed network environments where network port security is enforced.

Ideal Use Cases
Apartment Building Entry
The single-button SIP call function lets residents receive entry calls via a registered softphone or mobile SIP app, making it straightforward to deploy at multi-tenancy building front doors without a dedicated intercom controller.
Commercial Office Reception Gates
Mounted at a pedestrian gate or staff entry point, the IP54 and IK08 ratings handle outdoor exposure and incidental physical contact. The SIP 2.0 signalling routes the call directly to a reception desk phone or VoIP handset.
Camera-Covered Entry Points
Where a dedicated IP camera already provides visual coverage of the door, the audio-only IP Solo avoids doubling up on camera hardware while still providing a clean, functional call point with full-duplex audio and AEC.
Cold-Climate or High-Temperature Locations
The confirmed -40°C to +60°C operating range means this intercom can be installed in exposed alpine building entries, rooftop plant room access doors, or sun-exposed industrial gate posts without housing modifications.
SIP PBX and Hosted VoIP Integration
Businesses with an existing SIP PBX or hosted telephony platform can integrate the IP Solo as a standard SIP extension, routing door calls to any registered endpoint on the system without additional intercom software or licences.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your site already has dedicated camera coverage at the entry point, you operate a SIP PBX or hosted VoIP platform, and you want a compact, vandal-resistant door station with clean full-duplex audio that connects to your existing phone infrastructure.
- Choose a different model if: You need visual verification at the door station itself and no separate camera covers that position – in that case, a camera-equipped IP intercom variant is the more complete solution. If you require keypad access or a touchscreen for PIN or card entry, this model does not include those functions.
FAQs
- Does the 2N IP Solo (02202-001) have a built-in camera?
No. This SKU is the audio-only variant of the IP Solo. It has no camera or video capability. It is suited to installations where a separate IP camera already covers the entry point, or where camera use at the door station is not required or permitted.
- What SIP infrastructure is needed to use this intercom?
The IP Solo requires a SIP 2.0 (RFC-3261) compatible server or PBX to route calls. This can be an on-premises IP PBX, a cloud-hosted SIP trunk, or a compatible VoIP platform. It registers as a standard SIP extension, so any phone or softphone registered to the same SIP server can receive calls from the door button.
- Can this intercom be powered over Ethernet?
Yes. The IP Solo accepts PoE 802.3af (Class 0, up to 12.95 W), which allows a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable to carry both data and power to the door station. Alternatively, it can be powered by a 12 V DC ±15% / 2 A supply if a separate power run is preferred or PoE is not available at the switch.
- How is the audio quality at an outdoor entry point?
The IP Solo includes a built-in 2 W class D speaker rated at 78 dB sound pressure level at 1 m, combined with a built-in microphone and acoustic echo cancellation. Full-duplex operation means both parties can speak simultaneously without clipping. The supported codecs include G.722 for wideband audio, which provides noticeably clearer voice quality compared to narrowband G.711 where the SIP server supports it.
- What does the IK08 rating mean for an outdoor entry installation?
IK08 indicates the housing can withstand an impact energy of 5 joules, which corresponds to a moderate deliberate strike. For a surface-mount door station at a pedestrian entry, this rating provides meaningful resistance against incidental kicks, knocks from bags or equipment, and opportunistic tampering. The built-in tamper switch also triggers an alert if the unit is forcibly opened or removed from its mount.
- Is this intercom compatible with ONVIF systems?
The IP Solo supports ONVIF v2.4 Profile S, which is primarily used for video streaming in CCTV systems. On this audio-only variant, ONVIF compatibility assists with device discovery and integration into management platforms that use ONVIF for device enumeration, rather than for video streaming. The IP Solo is available through Security Wholesalers for integrators working within ONVIF-managed network environments.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat5e or Cat6 UTP or STP for PoE-powered installations. Use shielded cable (STP/FTP) in environments with high electrical interference, such as near industrial equipment or motor drives.
- Maximum Cable Run: Up to 100 m from the PoE switch to the intercom for a standard PoE 802.3af run. For longer distances, a PoE extender or midspan injector with appropriate cable quality will be required.
- PoE Considerations: The IP Solo is a PoE Class 0 device (up to 12.95 W draw). Any 802.3af-compliant PoE switch port will power the unit. If using a 12 V DC supply instead, ensure the cable run voltage drop is within the ±15% tolerance at the intercom end.
- Wiring Tips: The surface-mount frame (107 x 130 x 28 mm) is designed for direct wall surface installation. Run the Ethernet cable through conduit where the cable is exposed outdoors between the wall entry and the intercom back box to protect against UV degradation and physical damage. The 802.1x network authentication support allows the port to be secured on managed switches that enforce port-level identity before granting network access.
