The 2N IP Force 2.0 is an IP-based video intercom system specifically developed for demanding operating conditions. It serves as a door station with integrated video surveillance and enables secure, reliable communication between visitors and reception staff. The device is designed for use in areas with high requirements for security, access control, and visitor identification, such as industrial facilities, logistics centers, or public institutions.

Applications

The IP Force 2.0 is designed for use in environments exposed to extreme mechanical and climatic stresses. It is particularly suitable for outdoor areas as well as indoor spaces with a high risk of contamination, where dust, moisture, or mechanical vibrations may occur. The robust construction ensures a long service life even under difficult conditions. The integrated camera with dome provides additional protection against damage, for example from vandalism.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The device features two call buttons, enabling clear assignment of access permissions or different entrances. Communication takes place via an integrated microphone and a loudspeaker with high sound output, ensuring clear voice transmission even in noisy environments. An adaptive volume control automatically adjusts the output to ambient noise levels. Noise suppression minimizes background noise and ensures clear voice transmission. Additionally, the device performs automatic audio loop tests to verify the functionality of the communication components.

Technology Explained Simply

The IP Force 2.0 is based on the ARTPEC-8 system-on-chip, responsible for processing video and audio signals as well as controlling device functions. This module offers enhanced security features, including secure boot, signed firmware, and a secure key storage. These measures protect the device against unauthorized access and manipulation. Collaboration with Axis enables full control over the device, allowing security vulnerabilities to be quickly identified and resolved. The video intercom is suitable for integration into existing video surveillance systems from other manufacturers, increasing compatibility in heterogeneous infrastructures.

The IP Force 2.0 is designed for use in networks with PoE (Power over Ethernet), enabling both power supply and data transmission via a single network cable. This simplifies installation and reduces the number of required cables. The devices are designed for use in IP-based security systems with central control and monitoring.

Compatibility and Accessories

The IP Force 2.0 can be combined with various accessory components to extend its functionality. These include, for example, IP relay modules such as the AXIS A9188 or the AXIS A9910 I/O Relay Expansion Module, which can be used to control doors, lights, or alarm systems. Other compatible components include IP Wiegand isolators, magnetic door contacts, exit buttons, and power supply variants for different socket standards (EU, UK, US). Integration into software platforms such as My2N, IP Intercom, Ccure, or Symmetry is possible via appropriate plugins and licenses. The use of PhyLink adapters or PoLRE switches enables connection to NVT Phybridge systems.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is carried out on a wall or other fixed surface. Wiring is done via an Ethernet cable, which enables both data transmission and power supply through PoE. Mounting requires no additional tools or special mounting accessories beyond those already integrated into the device. Connecting to an existing network requires configuration of the IP address and network settings, with the devices being controlled via a web interface or a central management platform.

Operational Advantages

The IP Force 2.0 offers high reliability and ease of maintenance. Automatic audio tests and robust construction reduce the need for regular maintenance. Integration into existing security systems enables central control and monitoring, increasing operational efficiency. Clear communication even in noisy environments ensures effective interaction between visitors and reception staff. Strong cybersecurity protects the device against unauthorized access and enhances the overall security of the system.
