Akuvox 2-Wire IP Video Intercoms provide an advanced solution for upgrading older, traditional analogue intercom installations to modern IP video functionality using existing 2-wire cabling infrastructure. This system eliminates the need for messy, high-cost network rewiring while providing full high-definition video, crystal-clear audio, smartphone cloud control, and robust property access management.
System Architecture & Key Components
Rather than utilizing traditional Ethernet cables, the system uses digital adapters and network switches to broadcast standard IP network signals over two metal threads.
- Akuvox NS-2 2-Wire Network Switch: The heart of multi-device installations. It acts as a specialized network distributor that power-links up to 6 internal/external 2-wire intercom units, converting data to a network signal across distances up to 300 meters.
- Akuvox NX-2 & NC-2 Adapters: Converters designed to inject 48VDC PoE transmission capabilities into the 2-wire path, facilitating simple device communication setups.
- Wiring Flexibility: Installers can wire devices utilizing standard star topology (all individual components routed to a central NS-2 switch) or a sequential daisy-chain loop depending on legacy configurations.
