Smart home integration and scalable IP access for apartments
Apartment buildings present unique challenges for access control. With dozens—or even hundreds—of residents sharing entrances, common areas, and amenities, the system must balance three key priorities: strong security, everyday convenience, and simple central management. That’s why planners, developers, and property managers are turning to intelligent, scalable access control systems for apartments from 2N. From elegant front-door intercoms to in-unit control, cloud-based administration and mobile access, to smart electronic locks, 2N makes it easy to create buildings that are safe, efficient, and ready for the future.Secure, seamless entry for residents and visitors
Access control in multi-occupancy buildings is about more than just securing a front door—it’s about making life easier for residents, visitors, and property managers alike. With multiple users, shared spaces, and the need for central oversight, access control systems for apartments must be both smart and scalable.
For multi-tenant entrances, two excellent options stand out: the 2N IP Style and the 2N IP Verso 2.0. Both provide a professional first impression while delivering advanced functionality behind the scenes such as so convenient mobile access.
The 2N IP Style is ideal for high-end or high-traffic buildings thanks to features that combine premium design with powerful performance:
- Striking 10” touchscreen with lightning-fast responsiveness
- Customisable interface to match the building’s look and user needs
- Wide-angle full HD camera for crystal-clear visitor identification
- Axis ARTPEC processor for smooth performance and high-quality audio

Additionally, it is designed to work seamlessly as part of a wider access control system for apartments, allowing residents to connect their entry device with other systems such as video management, building automation, property management, security.
The 2N IP Verso 2.0 offers modularity, allowing it to be tailored to the specific needs of each project. Its durable design makes it perfect for both indoor and outdoor installation, while high-quality audio, HD video, and a wide range of authentication options ensure secure and reliable access. From integrated keypads to fingerprint modules, the Verso 2.0 adapts to meet building’s specific requirements. This modularity also makes it a strong choice for projects that need flexible, open-platform apartment access control systems, with support for standard protocols (SIP, RTSP, HTTPS, ONVIF, etc.) and vendor-specific integrations.
Convenient control from every apartment
Inside each unit, the right indoor station can make all the difference to the resident experience. For premium developments or smaller-scale projects where top-tier functionality is a must, the 2N Indoor View is a leading choice.
It features:
- Large 7” touchscreen that elevates everyday use
- Crystal-clear video display for high-quality communication
- Intuitive interface designed for all users
- Seamless integration within access control systems for apartments

A modern, smart-control hub that gives residents greater comfort and more control over their environment.
For mid-range projects or more compact spaces, the 2N Indoor Compact offers a balance of performance and design. It delivers the same core features, such as video communication and remote door control, in a smaller, streamlined format. Even in smaller spaces, the unit supports integration with wider apartment access control systems via HTTP commands, allowing planners to avoid compromising on functionality.
For large-scale developments seeking a cost-effective IP video solution, the 2N Clip is the ideal fit. It provides high-quality video communication, reliable performance, and easy installation—making it perfect for residential projects where scale and value matter, but quality can’t be compromised.
Plus, because not every project is a blank slate, the 2N Clip 2wire-IP utilizes existing analog or digital wiring and provides all the features you know from the IP world.. This makes it ideal for retrofit projects, where keeping installation quick, clean, and budget-friendly is just as important as delivering a modern resident experience.
Alternatively, for residents who prefer flexibility the My2N app can work as an answering unit that lets them answer calls, unlock doors from anywhere, and even use their phone to open doors instead of a key or card.
Beyond basic control, the My2N App adds everyday convenience for residents. They can let in couriers while still at work, grant access to guests without leaving the sofa, or replace keys and fobs with the phone already in their pocket. For mobile-first tenants, this kind of flexibility makes all the difference, especially in projects where access control systems for apartments are designed around convenience.
Redefining security inside every apartment
To further enhance security at the apartment level, the new 2N Fortis range of electronic locks offers a smart alternative to traditional mechanical solutions for the EMEA market. Designed with modern living in mind, these locks support access via RFID cards and from Q1 2026 also using mobile credentials, and are ideal for both new developments and retrofits.
What sets 2N Fortis apart is its seamless integration within comprehensive access control systems for apartments. The locks are designed with evolving compliance standards in mind and seamlessly work with 2N intercoms. That means property managers can oversee permissions, monitor audit trails, and manage doors alongside the rest of their access system—all from a single interface of 2N Access Commander. Therefore, because there are no keys to lose or replace, residents enjoy greater convenience while managers benefit from lower risk and reduced costs.
Securing shared spaces and simplifying management
Beyond individual units, shared spaces such as bike rooms, gyms, mailrooms, or rooftop terraces also require reliable and convenient access control. The 2N Access Unit 2.0 is an ideal solution for these areas. It supports multiple authentication methods, including RFID cards, PIN codes, QR codes and mobile credentials, making it easy to grant access to authorised residents while keeping unauthorised users out.Installed at key entry points, it helps building managers secure every corner of the property without overcomplicating the resident experience. Not only that, it also integrates seamlessly with access control systems for apartments, allowing planners to link shared spaces into the same ecosystem as resident units.
Shared spaces also tend to be the main access point for visitors—from couriers dropping off parcels to maintenance staff or guests. With 2N, managers can issue temporary access credentials, making it simple to keep track of who enters and when. This not only improves security but also reduces the day-to-day disruptions that unmanaged visitor traffic can cause.
Building managers, meanwhile, get complete control through the My2N Management Platform. Whether they’re managing one building or several, they can set up access rights, update user details, and monitor usage remotely, all from a single, cloud-based interface.
For planners, this solution is ideal for apartment blocks, build-to-rent developments, student housing, or any project that needs to be easy to manage, offer mobile access, and deliver a great experience for residents.
From elegant front-door intercoms to in-unit stations, electronic locks, and cloud-based management, 2N delivers a complete access control system for apartments—scalable, secure, and seamlessly connected. Residents enjoy secure, mobile-first convenience, property managers benefit from simple oversight across every door and shared space, and planners can future-proof projects with scalable, standards-ready solutions.
