2N Intercom Review

Advantages

  • Does not require master stations
  • Owned by Axis, so offers good integration with other Axis products
  • Can retrofit with legacy systems such as RFID card readers and fingerprint scanners
  • Built-in night vision camera
  • Free onsite configuration support
  • Easy to install and start using
  • Centralized multi-device management through a web interface

Disadvantages

  • Assembly required: the biggest grievance with a 2N entry system is the lack of “plug and play” installation. 2N intercoms are modularized and must be ordered and assembled separately. 
  • Low-quality audio: the voice and video quality of IP intercom can be affected by electromagnetic or RF interference 
  • The spread of germs and disease such as COVID-19 should be carefully considered when integrating a touchscreen or fingerprint system

2N Intercom vs. Swiftlane Video Intercom
