As we edge closer to the ISDN switch off, it is now more important than ever to maximise the opportunities available to you. Access Control offers huge potential for your business to expand its offering. Gone are the days when people need to be present to answer the door. With 2N you can create a solution that works for your partners, enabling access from anywhere, anytime with an all-IP solution.
Grow Your Opportunities with 2N
Expanding access control – Access control doesn’t stop at the front door. More and more partners are working on solutions which can restrict access to specific areas within a business such as server rooms and areas where high value goods are stored. There’s a lot of features that can be added and easily managed through one easy to use, centralised system.
Accessing additional features/enriching the experience – Think outside the box. 2N’s devices can be used to maintain employee working hours through an intuitive clocking in/out system or even to create a smart building solution with reporting.
Managed services – All of this, of course can bring additional revenue to your business by increasing you offering and tying in a more integrated, future-proof solution which can be remotely managed.
Did you know 2N Intercoms are certified to call with Microsoft Teams? With the purchase of a third-party license*, we can help you to create a solution which works just how your customers need it to. What’s more, with a range of Teams certified devices available, we can provide the complete solution in a one stop shop package.
In an effort to make your life easier, 2N has simplified their licensing options for their intercoms and access control units. As of 1st August 2022 the licensing of 2N Intercoms and Access Units will be as follows:
All features from the former Enhanced Security and Enhanced Audio license plus NFC and HTTP API are included in the price of the intercom
Gold License (9137909) – To simplify the ordering process 2N have reduced the number of licenses available and replaced it with their Gold License. This will give you access to features including enhanced video and integration. To help with the migration, the price of the Gold License has now been reduced by 30%.
The 2N Access Unit is now supplied with the whole feature set, meaning there’s no need for any additional licenses
The following licenses will remain unchanged:
OnGuard (9137917)
CCure (9137918)
Informacast (9137910)
My2N (9137957 and 9137958)
The following licenses are now discontinued:
IP Intercoms
Access Unit
Enhanced Audio (9137905)
Enhanced Video (9137906)

Enhanced Security (9137908)
NFC (9137915)
Lift Module (9160401)
NFC (916012)
Lift Module (9160404)
What do these Changes mean to You & Your Customers?
Traditionally, we know 2N’s licensing options have been a tricky area to navigate and determine for the end user. We hope these changes will help to make your quotation and ordering process simpler. 2N greatly value the development, security and efficiency of their products and want you to benefit from all secuirty features by default.
If you’d like to discuss any of these changes with a member of our team or to find out how they may affect any ongoing projects you may be working on call 01484 840048.

Liberate your customers from unnecessary costs with 2N’s WaveKey mobile access control. This simple to deploy method could prove invaluable to your partners with the ability to remotely distribute mobile credentials in just a few clicks.
What’s more, it’s also a more secure option for office environments – people are less likely to share their mobile devices with others to gain access to secure areas, not to mention the unique range of secure algorithms which are able to identify whether a device is being used to gain access or if it’s at rest, or simply passing by.
The 2N Wavekey is quicker and easier to set up than fobs and can be done remotely through the 2N Access Commander*. Once created, simply pair the users’ mobile devices and any 2N Bluetooth Intercom module. With support for 4 different access modes:
Card mode
Tap in app mode
Touch mode
Motion mode
We’ve broken down the key features & benefits of this ground-breaking solution for you.
What is it?
Rigorously tested, 2N WaveKey is a unique technology that pairs users personal mobiles to the access control system of a building via a unique pairing PIN and the 2N Mobile Key app. Users can then walk to any access controlled door that they have permission to, which is set by the admin with 2N Access Commander, and enter into the door with one of 4 access modes.
1.
Card Mode
Working on both Android and iOS devices, users can present their phone to the Bluetooth reader to gain access. Just like they would with a traditional card with no need to open the phone. The Card mode is best used in installations with a high flow of people passing by such as busy office locations and turnstiles.
2.
Tap in the App Mode
Users are able to open doors by tapping a virtual button in the 2N mobile Key app. With users having to open their phone to access the app, this mode is considered to be more secure. Two-factor authentication can be added to include an additional level of security. Ideal for entrances to office buildings and secured areas as well as garages & parking barriers. Anywhere you want to keep secure.
3.
Touch Mode
Users are able to simply touch the Bluetooth reader with their hand or elbow, if they are carrying something, without the need to take their phone out of their pocket or purse. If they have authorisation to enter, the door will open. This mode is best for apartment and office buildings but less suitable if there will be lots of people constantly moving or congregating nearby the door.
4.
Motion Mode
A fully contactless way to open door. Requiring a camera based intercom which will trigger the authentication process when it detects movement. Camera behaviour setup will be required to make use of this mode – When, how and what you want it to react to. Making passage through doors smooth and effortless. While the convenience of this mode is fantastic, it is not advisable to deploy this mode in busy areas as there is a risk of the door being opened unintentionally by a third party.
Who can set permissions?
The 2N Access Commander Admin can set up accounts so that receptionists, security guards or administrators can generate the unique pairing PIN for staff and guests, as well as set the appropriate permissions for the users. All of which can be done in under 30 seconds.
How does WaveKey work?
Making use of the users’ mobile phone Bluetooth functionality, 2N WaveKey allows users to link to a buildings access control. Once the connected device is in range of a listening 2N intercom that has a Bluetooth module, users can make use of 4 different modes to enter a door, with varying levels of convenience of use and the associated level of security. Users are free to choose the best mode for each door as well as multiple modes for the same door for users to choose their preferred method. Users can rest assured that the smart algorithms used for the 2N WaveKey identify when the pair device that is being used for access is at rest, moving to, past or away from the area they are wanting to access to ensure full security of their restricted areas.
There’s been a lot of talk about upgrading phone systems in preparation of the ISDN switch off, but what about your customers’ access control systems? With many door entry solutions utilising analogue lines, there’s a huge opportunity out there to upgrade these devices.
Compatible with some of the world’s leading platforms including Broadsoft, Cisco Webex, 3CX, Asterisk and Skype for Business. 2N devices can be integrated with existing systems, helping to create a seamless solution.
What’s more, we have a range of services available to help simplify your 2N fulfilments. Whether you’re looking for assistance in designing an access control solution, white labelled installation or simply finding our more about where to start get in touch with our team today.

With a highly advanced HD camera that can handle multiple full HD streams, the 2N IP Style offers a completely protected intercom with an impressive IP65 rating, keeping out heavy rain and dust, as well as an IK08 rating, securing it from vandalism and destruction.
1. Whether you prefer surface or flush mounted devices, the 2N IP Style is simple and easy to install. Simply attach the mounting bracket to the desired location or make a hole in the wall and install the 2N IP Style flush mounting bracket (sold separately).
2. Secure the bracket. For the flush mounted option make sure it is level with the wall by using the supplied levelling key to make fitting the 2N IP style that bit easier.
3. Attach the mounting brackets to the sides of the bottom mount handle and secure in place.
4. Remove the connector cover on the back of the intercom and thread the desired cables through the bushing. Fit the required end pieces to the cabling.
5. Slot the IP Style onto the mounting bracket as far as it will go. Connect all the cables to the IP Style and reattach the connector cover.
6. Finally, push your newly fitted IP Style back up to the mounting bracket and pull down slightly fitting it into place. Make sure to lock your IP style into place with the screws located under the camera ledge.
