Say Goodbye to the 2N® IP Vario, the World’s First IP Intercom

Find out our reasons for discontinuing it and discover great alternatives in other IP intercoms in our portfolio.

The first IP intercom in the world – the 2N® IP Vario – had a great run. It sold in huge numbers, kick-started a global boom of IP intercom technology, and helped make 2N what we are today.ip intercom

However, more and more, we’re seeing an increased demand for IP intercoms such as the 2N® IP Verso 2.0 – which simply offers more options and a huge range of advanced features.

So, it’s time to say goodbye and make way for new technology!

For projects that require just one button and classic features, the 2N® IP Solo is a great choice.

For more demanding projects, go for the 2N® IP Verso 2.0. It has a modular design (choose from a range of modules and build it according to your needs) plus some really great advanced features such as mobile access powered by WaveKey plus PIN, RFID & QR code access for flexibility in projects where mobile can’t be the only option. It also features a Full HD camera which is a feature that’s becoming more and more in demand nowadays in both residential and commercial environments.
