Brand profile · IP intercoms · Door entry
2N is a European manufacturer based in Prague, Czech Republic, known worldwide for premium IP video intercoms, access units and indoor stations. The company has been focused on telecom and door communication for decades and is now part of the Axis family, which strengthens its position in the professional security market.
On Chicago North Shore we recommend 2N when a building wants a modern, app-enabled door entry system with clean design, reliable mobile calls and tight integration with access control and IP cameras.
2N offers many panel and indoor station models. Below are some popular families that frequently appear in professional projects:
A modular, premium IP intercom that can be built exactly for the building: card reader, Bluetooth, touch display, keypad and other modules in one system. A strong fit for high-end residential and mixed-use lobbies where both design and flexibility matter.
A flagship door station with a large touchscreen, powerful camera and sleek design. Used where the entry experience needs to impress visitors and residents while providing excellent video for security.
A highly rugged, vandal-resistant intercom for gates, loading docks and exposed outdoor locations. Ideal when you need reliable audio and video in tough environments with frequent abuse or harsh weather.
Compact, good-looking IP intercoms for smaller entrances, side doors and single-tenant applications. They deliver modern IP features without a huge footprint on the wall.
Standalone IP access readers that handle cards, fobs and mobile credentials. Often used at secondary doors, garages and staff entrances, and can be combined with 2N intercoms for a complete access control solution.
In-unit touchscreens for residents who prefer a dedicated monitor in addition to mobile apps. Useful in premium condos, assisted living and senior housing where a simple, always-available interface is important.
In our equipment catalog we highlight specific 2N models like 2N IP Verso 2.0, 2N IP Style, 2N IP Force 2.0, 2N IP One, 2N IP Solo, 2N Access Unit 2.0 / M and 2N Indoor View that fit real Chicago North Shore projects.
For most projects 2N provides the door entry and resident-facing experience, while other systems handle cameras, access control and networking. A typical design might include:
The result is a modern, app-enabled intercom system that boards and residents actually like to use, while still meeting the security and maintenance expectations of property managers and building engineers.
