1. Product Overview 2N Helios IP door intercoms can smartly replace traditional doorbell push-button speakerphone panels and all wiring, bells and home intercom installations in buildings with structured cabling. The intercoms provide more advanced and wider services than standard home phones. The installation is very easy, all you need is connect the intercom to the other LAN elements using a UTP cable and set necessary parameters.
