How to choose the right gate video intercoms for easy, secure access

Designed for driver comfort

Nobody wants to struggle to reach an intercom from the driver’s seat, so installing your gate video intercom on a gooseneck stand is a game-changer. When wall-mounting isn’t possible, this strong, sturdy metal support offers a simple, elegant solution. Designed specifically for vehicle entry points, the 2N Gooseneck Stand ensures the gate video intercom is positioned at the perfect height for quick and comfortable communication. Not only that, but its intuitive gooseneck design makes collisions with vehicles less likely – a simple yet elegant solution to a persistent problem!  

Its robust construction and durable surface finish make it ideal for outdoor environments, while hidden internal cabling preserves a clean and tamper-resistant look. Compatible with a range of 2N intercoms—including the 2N IP Force (no accessory needed), and 2N IP Verso 2.0 (with a gooseneck mounting hood)—it’s the smart, flexible choice, whatever your needs.  

Additionally, if your facility handles personal vehicles and larger trucks, a double-height gooseneck stand ensures that every driver can easily access the intercom. 

Gate video intercoms built to withstand every environment 

Outdoor video intercoms face some of the harshest environments imaginable. Rain, wind, snow, dust, and even vandalism are common. That’s why robustness matters. The 2N IP Force intercom stands out in this regard—it’s designed to thrive in demanding conditions. The 2N IP Force’s IP69K and IK10 rating offers maximum resistance to water, dust, and even the occasional collision with a vehicle. That level of durability means your gate access control system will remain operational no matter what the world throws at it. 

Multiple access options, including mobile access control

Flexibility is key. Today’s gate intercoms should support more than just traditional audio calls—and with the 2N IP Verso 2.0’s full HD camera offering crystal-clear images, wide dynamic range, and excellent low-light performance, they do. Drivers expect multiple ways to gain entry—from RFID cards to PIN codes, Bluetooth, or even mobile access control. 

 Luckily, the 2N IP Verso 2.0 is a modular intercom that makes it all possible. 

The My2N app supports mobile access control, allowing authorized users to unlock gates simply by pressing the virtual button on their mobile phone. It’s secure, fast, and easy! 

Which gate video intercom should you choose?

If you want maximum robustness, a decent yet basic camera, loud audio, and you only need PIN or RFID access, go for the 2N IP Force. 

Looking for good design, a more advanced (full HD) camera, and multiple access options (including mobile access)? Choose the 2N IP Verso 2.0. 

Smart integrations

Why stop at audio and video when you can have automated vehicle recognition? Modern security demands more innovative solutions, and that’s where license plate recognition (LPR) comes in. 

LPR cameras can automatically grant access to authorized vehicles when integrated with any IP intercom. This is perfect for delivery fleets, staff, or VIP guests. It also means fewer interruptions for reception or security teams and no need for drivers to do anything. 

What do you need for a successful installation?

2N IP Force – Apart from the intercom itself, you need a gooseneck stand (01351-001) or a double gooseneck stand (01550-001) if you are looking for vehicle access for trucks as well. 

2N IP Verso 2.0 - To install the 2N IP Verso 2.0 on a gooseneck, you need to order a gooseneck mounting hood along with a gooseneck stand (01351-001) or a double gooseneck stand (01550-001). The gooseneck mounting hood is suitable only for the 2-module 2N IP Verso 2.0 with a surface mount frame. 

More than just a buzzer

The ideal gate video intercom isn’t just tough—it’s innovative, accessible, and adaptable. From weather resistance and mobile credentials to license plate-based entry and height-adjusted mounting, it should be built for real-world use.
