Product Overview
Designed as the indoor station component of a HiLook IP intercom system, the HA-IN-IP2 brings a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen interface to residential and small commercial entry setups. Featuring a 1024 x 600 resolution display, it gives users a clear, responsive panel for viewing visitors, speaking with callers at the door, and managing access from inside the building. Equipped with both wired RJ-45 (10/100 Mbps) and WiFi (2.4GHz, 802.11b/g/n) connectivity, it adapts to installations where running a dedicated data cable to the monitor position is not always practical. It also supports dual power input via PoE (IEEE 802.3af) or 12V DC, which reduces cabling complexity in retrofit and new-build scenarios alike. A TF card slot supports up to 128 GB of local storage for intercom snapshots and event recordings. With a slim 21 mm depth profile finished in white, the HA-IN-IP2 mounts neatly on interior walls in homes, boutique offices, and small apartment entries.
Key Capabilities
7-Inch Capacitive Touchscreen
The 1024 x 600 resolution display delivers a clear, responsive interface for identifying visitors and managing door access. The capacitive touch panel operates smoothly in everyday indoor conditions, making it suitable for all household members including older users.
Dual Power Input: PoE and 12V DC
Support for IEEE 802.3af PoE and 12V DC gives installers two power paths depending on what infrastructure is available. PoE simplifies cabling by combining power and data over a single Ethernet run, while 12V DC suits locations where a PoE switch is not accessible.
Wired and WiFi Connectivity
The RJ-45 10/100 Mbps port covers installations where a structured cabling run reaches the monitor location. WiFi 2.4GHz (802.11b/g/n) provides an alternative when the monitor is positioned in an area where running a cable to the wall plate is not practical.
TF Card Storage Up to 128 GB
The built-in TF (microSD) card slot supports up to 128 GB for local recording of intercom snapshots and call events. This provides a straightforward on-device record of entry activity without requiring cloud storage or an external recorder.
Slim Wall-Mount Profile
At approximately 175 mm x 113.5 mm x 21 mm, the HA-IN-IP2 sits flush against interior walls without protruding significantly. The white finish suits modern residential and light commercial interiors where appearance at the entry point matters.
Best For
- Residential Entry Monitoring: Single dwellings and townhouses where a wall-mounted indoor station with a clear touchscreen display is needed to communicate with visitors at the front door via two-way audio.
- Retrofit Installations with Limited Cabling: Properties where running a new data cable to the monitor location is not possible, as WiFi connectivity allows the unit to connect to the intercom network wirelessly.
- Small Apartment or Boutique Office Entries: Compact entry setups requiring a capable but unobtrusive indoor station with local snapshot storage via TF card, without the complexity of a full enterprise intercom system.
- PoE-Based Intercom Networks: Installations built around a PoE switch where simplifying power and data into a single cable run to each device is a priority for keeping the installation tidy and manageable.
Why Choose the HA-IN-IP2
The HA-IN-IP2 stands apart from basic intercom handset units by offering a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen with 1024 x 600 resolution, giving users a substantially larger and more responsive display for viewing and communicating with door callers. Unlike entry-level monitors limited to a single power source, the HA-IN-IP2 supports both IEEE 802.3af PoE and 12V DC, giving installers flexibility across different building types and existing infrastructure. The addition of WiFi 2.4GHz connectivity means it can be positioned without a direct cable run to the wall plate where that is not feasible. Local TF card storage of up to 128 GB provides on-device records of intercom events without dependence on an external recorder. Available through Security Wholesalers, the HA-IN-IP2 is a practical indoor station for integrators and property owners building or expanding a HiLook IP intercom system.
Buyer Decision Tips
Monitor-Only Purchase: The HA-IN-IP2 is the indoor station only and requires a compatible HiLook IP door station to function as a complete intercom system. If you need the monitor and door station together, check the HiLook HA-KIT-IP2 bundle before purchasing this unit separately. Confirm that your existing door station is compatible with the HiLook IP intercom ecosystem before ordering.
WiFi Signal Reliability: If connecting the HA-IN-IP2 via WiFi rather than wired RJ-45, position it within strong 2.4GHz signal range of your access point. Thick masonry walls, metal framing, and HVAC ducting can degrade signal quality. Where possible, a wired RJ-45 connection to a PoE switch provides a more stable and consistent link for intercom communication.

Ideal Use Cases
Single Residential Dwellings
Homeowners can wall-mount the HA-IN-IP2 inside their entry hall or kitchen to see and speak with visitors at the door. The 7-inch touchscreen provides a clear view, and the TF card records entry events locally without any external storage device.
Small Apartment Entries
In apartment buildings with a door station at the entry, the HA-IN-IP2 functions as the in-unit monitor. Its slim 21 mm profile fits neatly inside apartments where wall space is limited, and PoE simplifies power delivery from the building’s network switch.
Boutique Offices and Reception Areas
Small offices and professional suites can position the HA-IN-IP2 at a reception desk or staff room wall, allowing staff to screen visitors arriving at the front door before granting entry, using two-way audio for direct communication.
Retrofit Installations Using WiFi
Where a structured cabling run to the intended monitor location is not available, the HA-IN-IP2’s 2.4GHz WiFi connectivity allows it to connect to the intercom network wirelessly, avoiding the need for additional cable work through finished walls.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a standalone indoor monitor with a 7-inch touchscreen, dual power options (PoE or 12V DC), and WiFi connectivity as a flexible indoor station within a HiLook IP intercom setup.
- Choose a different model if: You need a complete ready-to-run intercom system rather than just the monitor. A bundled kit including both the indoor station and a compatible door station will be the more appropriate starting point for a new installation.
- Choose a different model if: Your installation requires a larger number of indoor stations for multi-tenant or multi-unit buildings with complex user management needs. The HA-IN-IP2 is best suited to straightforward single-unit or small-scale entry setups.
FAQs
- Does the HA-IN-IP2 include a door station?
No. The HA-IN-IP2 is the indoor monitor station only. It must be paired with a compatible HiLook IP door station to form a working intercom system. If you need both components, the HiLook HA-KIT-IP2 intercom kit includes the door station and monitor together.
- Can the HA-IN-IP2 be powered by PoE without a separate power adapter?
Yes. The monitor supports IEEE 802.3af PoE, so it can be powered directly from a compatible PoE switch or injector over the same Ethernet cable used for data. This removes the need for a separate 12V DC adapter when a PoE switch is already part of the installation.
- What is the maximum TF card size supported for local storage?
The HA-IN-IP2 supports TF (microSD) cards up to 128 GB. This storage is used for intercom snapshots and call event recordings captured locally on the monitor. Format the card in the device after installation to ensure compatibility.
- Can the monitor connect via WiFi instead of a wired Ethernet cable?
Yes. The HA-IN-IP2 supports 2.4GHz WiFi (802.11b/g/n) as an alternative to the wired RJ-45 connection. This is useful in retrofit installations where running a cable to the monitor wall position is not practical. For best stability, keep the monitor within strong signal range of the access point and away from sources of 2.4GHz interference.
- Where should the monitor be mounted on the wall?
A mounting height of 140 to 160 cm from finished floor level is generally recommended so the 7-inch screen is comfortable to view and operate for most users. Ensure the network cable or power supply is routed to the mounting position before fixing the unit to the wall.
- What are the physical dimensions of the HA-IN-IP2?
The monitor measures approximately 175 mm high by 113.5 mm wide by 21 mm deep, finished in white. The slim 21 mm profile allows it to sit flush against interior walls in hallways, kitchens, and reception areas without intruding into the space. Security Wholesalers stocks the HA-IN-IP2 as part of the HiLook intercom range.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable recommended for both the door station and the indoor monitor when connecting via wired RJ-45. Use CAT6 for new installations to provide headroom for future network upgrades.
- Maximum Cable Run: Standard Ethernet maximum of 100 m per cable segment applies. Keep cable runs from the PoE switch to the monitor and from the switch to the door station within this limit for reliable power and data delivery.
- PoE Considerations: The monitor requires a PoE switch or injector that meets IEEE 802.3af standard. Verify that the switch’s total PoE power budget covers all connected devices, including the door station and any other PoE equipment on the same switch.
- Wiring Tips: Run a dedicated Ethernet cable from the door station to the PoE switch, and a separate cable from the PoE switch to the indoor monitor. If remote access or mobile notifications are required, connect the PoE switch to the site modem or router via an additional Ethernet cable. Label all cables and ports at the switch end for straightforward future maintenance.
