Meet the 2N IP Force 2.0: advanced video intercom with unmatched durability

The next generation of our most durable, best-selling video intercom is here.

A rugged black outdoor intercom with a keypad, camera, and display, featuring "2N IP Force 2.0" text.

Proven durability, enhanced capabilities

Thanks to its next-level durability, the original 2N IP Force is already a favourite for high-risk sites such as parking garages, industrial sites, and more. It has performed reliably and served our customers well - but the time has come for innovation!

Whilst you can expect the same high-level robustness from the 2N IP Force 2.0, we’ve listened to user feedback, adapted to modern demands, and enhanced the capabilities of the 2N IP Force 2.0.

What’s new?

5MPx camera with QHD resolution

The market asked—and we delivered. The 2N IP Force 2.0 is an advanced video intercom equipped with a 5MPx camera.

  • It captures ultra-clear QHD video (2560 x 1920), delivering high-quality images for the reliable visitor verification that is so essential in high-security environments.
  • The Wide Dynamic Range will prevent glare on very bright days
  • Then, at night, it will automatically switch to crystal-clear night vision
  • It also features a wide-angle lens, enhanced with adaptive face zooming. The intercom camera will detect a face in the frame and automatically zoom in, enabling the call receiver to clearly identify their visitor, every time.

Advanced noise cancellation for loud environments

Another key upgrade from the last generation is advanced noise cancellation (now a standard feature in ARTPEC-enabled 2N intercoms) – which means loud, high-traffic, or industrial spaces are no problem for this video intercom!

Plus, a high-volume 10W speaker and automatic audio loop tests ensure crisp, effective, and reliable communication.

QR code access

Need quick, easy-to-assign access for deliveries or guests?

The 2N IP Force 2.0 reads QR codes! You can assign them in advance via 2N Access Commander, the My2N Management Platform, or even the My2N App, our mobile app for access, answering intercom calls, and more.

End-users who hold apartment admin roles can also use the My2N App to assign guests QR codes. Learn more about that here.

Powered by the Axis ARTPEC-8 processor

At the heart of the 2N IP Force 2.0 is an Axis ARTPEC-8 processor, which enables top-tier video intercom performance. Features include enhanced audio and strong cybersecurity, such as secure boot, signed firmware, and secure key storage.

With Axis Zipstream support, the video intercom also ensures efficient image and video processing without compromising bandwidth.

The body: stronger

Rated IP69 and IK10, the 2N IP Force 2.0 withstands everything the first generation could, from extreme weather to repeated impact.

But – the chassis is now even more durable! While the strong aluminium construction is the same, we removed the plastic side panels to ensure fewer weak points. This makes it the ideal choice for those seeking a vandal-resistant intercom in high-crime areas.

Camera dome: more shatter resistance

Are you planning to install the 2N IP Force 2.0 in a parking garage or other high-traffic area? These areas are prone to dust, dirt, and accidental impact from vehicles or people.

Thankfully, a new highly shatter-resistant protective dome (made from the same durable material as Axis mini cameras) will avoid this issue, keeping the camera safe while maintaining image clarity.

Extra features include:

Multiple product variants are available: 1-, 2-, or 4-button versions, RFID-ready, and keypad models.

The 2N IP Force 2.0 supports Wiegand and OSDP interfaces, as well as Seos® compatible encrypted cards. 
OSDP support: For encrypted communication with third-party systems.

Expandable via V-Bus: Easily add a module for access, e.g. a Bluetooth 2N IP Verso 2.0 module.

Radio Equipment Directive – fully compliant from production

The 2N IP Force 2.0 has been designed to comply with the RED from launch. Learn more about the RED and how we’re approaching it in our recent blog post.

Where was the 2N IP Force 2.0 designed to be used?

The best places to install the 2N IP Force 2.0 are areas with a high impact risk and anywhere that needs clear visitor verification.

Ideal applications include:

  • Parking entrances and logistics centers, where the video intercom must withstand physical impacts, harsh weather, and heavy use
  • Secure facilities, student housing, and educational institutions, which benefit from dependable visual identification and integration with existing security systems
  • Gated communities and private roads, offering residents safe, convenient access via QR codes and clear communication with visitors
  • Busy or high-crime areas, where you need a rugged vandal-resistant intercom to deter tampering and boost site security
