2N Access Unit Basic Access Control Reader

The 2N Access Unit Basic is a compact, IP-based access control reader that integrates an RFID card reader and a door controller into a single device. Designed for both indoor and outdoor environments, this unit provides a secure and efficient way to manage building entry. Its sleek design and straightforward functionality make it a versatile solution for modern security infrastructures, allowing for seamless integration with other 2N IP intercom systems.

Advantages

This device significantly reduces installation costs by combining the reader, door controller, and IP converter into one unit. It offers flexible access methods, including traditional RFID cards, key fobs, and NFC-enabled smartphones. The system is designed for straightforward setup via a web interface, making it accessible even for those without extensive technical training. Furthermore, the unit supports expansion modules for more complex requirements and provides real-time alerts to administrators if an invalid card is presented, ensuring a high level of security and oversight.

Suitable for

• Securing office building entrances
• Managing access in residential complexes
• Restricting entry to sensitive areas within a facility
• Outdoor and indoor security installations

This unit may not be suitable for environments requiring biometric authentication, such as fingerprint or facial recognition, as it relies primarily on RFID and NFC technology. Additionally, it may not be the optimal choice for extremely large-scale enterprise systems that require proprietary, non-IP based legacy hardware integration without the use of additional converters.

Key specifications

• Technology: IP-based access control
• Authentication methods: RFID card, key fob, and NFC-enabled smartphone
• Installation environment: Indoor and outdoor
• Connectivity: LAN network
• Management: Web-based interface
• Weight: 500 g

To use the 2N Access Unit, connect the device to your local area network (LAN). Once connected, access the device settings through a standard web browser to configure user permissions and authentication methods. The unit can be mounted on walls or door frames, and if additional security is required, you may connect a door-open sensor or a security relay to prevent tampering. For advanced setups, you can attach compatible expansion modules to the main unit to extend its functionality.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing access cards or key fobs are compatible with the reader's RFID frequency.
• Ensure your network infrastructure supports IP-based devices.
• Determine if you require additional modules, such as a keypad or Wiegand interface, for your specific installation needs.
• Check the mounting surface to ensure it is suitable for the unit's dimensions and outdoor exposure requirements.

For optimal security, it is recommended to pair the unit with a security relay to prevent unauthorized tampering with the door lock mechanism.
