2N (Comparison Reference)
2N is a Czech-engineered premium IP intercom brand. We don't currently install 2N — we specialise in Akuvox — but committees often compare the two. This page covers what 2N does well, where Akuvox matches or beats it, and how to decide.

We install Akuvox — and only Akuvox.
After evaluating the major apartment intercom brands at scale, we standardised on Akuvox. Single-brand specialism = deeper certifications, faster installs, better post-install support.
Why 2N is the premium choice for Brisbane high-rise apartments
2N is the Czech-engineered premium tier of apartment intercoms. Used in Burj Khalifa-class developments globally, built to a 7–10 year hardware standard rather than the 5–7 year reality of mid-tier brands. The price premium over Akuvox is 30–50% for similar capability tiers — justified when build quality, durability, and enterprise integration matter more than upfront cost.
The 2N product range we install across Brisbane
2N IP Verso 2 — flagship modular intercom
The IP Verso 2 is 2N's flagship apartment door station. Modular design lets you start with camera + buttons + speaker, then add fingerprint reader, RFID card reader, keypad, info display, or touch-keypad over time. Used in Sanctuary Cove villas, Hamilton riverfront premium developments, Surfers Paradise super-towers, and Brisbane CBD luxury complexes.
2N IP Style — touchscreen premium
10" capacitive touchscreen door station with customisable UI. Used when the front-door experience itself is part of the building's design language — boutique luxury hotels, premium short-stay buildings, and high-end Hope Island marina-front developments.
2N IP Force — exterior security-grade
IK10 vandal-resistant rating, IP69K waterproofing, designed for harsh-environment installs. Used in beachfront Gold Coast buildings facing salt-air exposure, and ground-floor commercial/residential mixed-use podiums where higher physical-attack resistance matters.
2N IP Solo — apartment-tier value
2N's entry-level apartment intercom — single-button door station with the same 2N reliability and 2N Mobile Video app, but at a price competitive with mid-tier Akuvox. Good fit for body corporates that want the 2N brand reliability story without the IP Verso 2 premium.
2N Mobile Video app
In our installation experience, the most reliable smartphone intercom app in the Australian market. Push notifications arrive faster, video calls connect more consistently, and the app has never required a firmware fix to address a critical reliability issue in the time we have been installing the brand.
When 2N is the right answer
- Premium development where developer or strata committee values brand-recognition spec
- Building has 100+ units where the per-unit premium is absorbed across many residents
- IP-native architecture required from day one (no 2-wire legacy compromise)
- Enterprise IT requirements (centralised SIP trunking, single sign-on, integration with property management software)
- Hotel, mixed-use, or commercial property where intercom integrates with PBX phone systems
- 7–10 year hardware lifespan justified to reduce mid-life replacement cycles
