2N IP Verso intercom review, very powerful and quality communication and access ecosystem

HomeHouseGreenSmartWhen you find the 2N symbol on the intercom of a condominium, of a group of offices, of a prestigious residence, you are not facing a simple communication and door opening system but a real ecosystem that can manage both the basic functions of the intercom that a complex system that can involve every aspect of automation, security, intercom management of several offices or access control with an infinite series of options.

Some time ago we showed you in a video the composition of a basic system that can be used for controlled access to a single user with camera, Bluetooth and RFID module on one side and internal video responder.

Apparently it was an evolved smart intercom as we have tried several in recent years but it was enough to connect to the web server that is contained in the small unit to discover the power of the 2N solution which allows on the one hand a very simple basic configuration and another an infinite capacity for expansion and interaction with all smart and IP technologies on the market.

We remind you that to activate all the functions it is necessary to purchase user licenses.

Recensione Citofono 2N IP VersoThe image of the camera is fully adjustable as well as the motion detection threshold and the affected area Audio and video quality

Before being “smart”, the video door entry unit must do its main job and offer good quality of audio and video recordings on the access point and good viewing and listening in the internal unit: in the case of 2N IP Verso we are also at levels of excellence if the standard camera inserted in the base module has a standard resolution, it is possible to comfortably manage every parameter from brightness to sensitivity with setup for internal and external, saturation, etc. with the possibility of managing automatic activation when a subject passes through predetermined areas. The audio is also of excellent quality and certainly not “intercom” and the internal unit allows excellent reception of incoming calls.

Too complex? Remote help

If the configuration is simple and does not require any advanced knowledge of the network infrastructure when you want to manage the installation in a more complex environment, 2N provides a free cloud service that allows you to remotely configure 2N IP and LTE intercoms and units. access via the My2N portal: just connect the intercom and internal units as we did to a router and it will be possible

Remote configuration of 2N products through the service 2N Remote Configuration is completely secure thanks to VPN communications with double encryption: you register intercom or access units on the portal www.my2n.com and also the ag joining of devices for pre-configuration is simple via the service: you only need to know the serial number and the My2N security code.

The Apps for iPhone and Android: communication and access

Management via the web is certainly a testimony to the power of the system and the interface can also be accessed from smartphones and tablets, but it would be useless if it was not possible to manage the connection to the intercom with an App for the general public. 2N offers 2 distinct applications.

2N Mobile video

It is the app that you would expect from a smart intercom and which allows you to access direct communication with whoever rings your intercom, to preview what is displayed by the camera or cameras that your system is equipped with or to the call list. of those who “played” on 2N IP Verso. Obviously it is excellent for interacting with couriers, visitors and strangers to whom you can access directly from your smartphone.

2N Mobile Key

It is the other app that offers a significant plus and that can be used by the owner of the property or by authorized persons and allows access to the access technologies that you have installed on your intercom: in our case Bluetooth. 2N Mobile Key is now at version 3 and allows you to manage the sensitivity of the recognition system, feedback with vibration and obviously an access that can be limited in time.

The app is compatible with Android smartphones version 6.0 and later and with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch with iOS version 12 later.

The technology used is called 2N Wavekey and is the fastest on the market and allows door opening with a mobile phone in 0.3 seconds and thanks to the analysis of the RSSi signal avoids the accidental opening of the doors.

Wavekey technology: just smartphone to log in. How does the pairing work with the smartphone? It is necessary to download the App on the smartphone, enter a code at the first pairing with the BT reader on the 2N IP Verso The code is generated using the configuration web interface of the 2N device. The administrator will have to provide this code to the user, for example, by sending it to him via email. It is also possible to generate temporary codes to be provided, for example, to couriers, visitors or tenants for short periods.

What are the operating modes? Here is the description directly from the 2N website. The available modes are 4 called “Touch”, “Tap in APP”, “Motion” and “Card” and can also be activated all at the same time for each single user.

  • Mode Touch : the user must touch the Bluetooth reader of the 2N intercom IP Verso leaving the phone in your pocket or purse.
  • Mode Tap in APP : the user must press a virtual button in the APP on his smartphone. To increase security, in addition to pressing the button, if programmed, a security code must be entered. This mode is convenient for accessing areas with bars or gates, the user can open the access while safely in the car while keeping the window closed.
  • Mode Motion : the user can access simply by making a movement in front of the camera of the 2N device while holding the phone in his pocket or bag, in this case it is A product with a camera is required.
  • Mode Card : the user must approach the phone to the access control BT reader as if it were an RFID card (mode available only for Android, not for iOS).
  • The cost to be faced for the owner of the intercom is that relating to the Enanced Video license with code 9137906 for using the Motion mode.

    It goes without saying that with our smartphone and the web interface configuration we saw above, we were able to make guests, maintenance workers and visitors interact with the commanded opening (in our case the main access gate to the isolated house) with simple sharing. of a code and all equipped with a simple phone with Bluetooth and the 2N Mobile Key application: it was enough to give them the download link of the app to enable them to access the property in many cases only temporarily.

    Conclusions

    The 2N IP Verso system with two modules that we have been able to test in recent months has proved to be very powerful and above all easily expandable both thanks to the design with which it was conceived (which allows the reuse of the basic modules in more capable systems with the addition of screens touch, multiple access points) and the power and “granularity” of the software solution with which it is possible to organize every aspect of access and connection.

    There are several quality intercom systems on the market at a lower price but none have this level of expandability and control and interaction capabilities. Access management with smartphones in its various modes and compatibility with external ONVIF cameras are the first notable pluses for which 2N IP can make the difference even if its enormous potential is not exploited. Given the ease of use and the universality of Bluetooth access and the savings that can be obtained by purchasing the module without RFID, we would like to recommend this option practically even to those with a basic configuration.

    Pro

    Excellent design, level finishes, very powerful control software, the possibility of infinite interactions with different standards. Excellent video audio quality. Remote control of all parameters by the installer or advanced user.

    Against

    The interface is so powerful that for complex systems it requires specific preparation and non-occasional installation. Remote support allows remote configuration.

    Retail price The configuration we tested has a retail price of around 1,600 euros + VAT: a purchase that must be considered and above all exploited for its enormous potential and its reliability.

    Below the prices including VAT of the single units as proposed by the E-Price website but 2N IP Verso can be found at many electro-supply points of sale and online shops.
