2N Intercom and Gate Entry Design, Installation and Service

Regent5 is a 2N dealer and installer and a licensed C10 and C7 contractor (CSLB 1033103) serving Northern California homes and estates. We design, install, program, and service 2N video intercoms and gate entry systems, coordinating gate operators, access control, networking, surveillance, conduit and power, and integration with the home's automation platform under one license.

The Estate Showpiece: 2N IP Style

The 2N IP Style is the flagship of the line: a 10 inch touch display intercom built on the AXIS ARTPEC-7 processor, with a full HD camera on a 5 MP chip, WDR, and color image in low light. The camera automatically detects a face in frame and zooms in so residents see clearly who is at the gate. Rated IP65 against weather and IK08 against impact, it belongs at a primary entry where the first impression of the property is made. Visitors and residents authenticate by mobile phone, RFID, PIN, or QR code.

Built to Order for the Entry: 2N IP Verso 2.0

The 2N IP Verso 2.0 is a modular intercom configured from roughly twenty combinable modules: camera, keypad, RFID reader, touch display, induction loop, buttons, and more, in nickel or black. That modularity is why it is the standard choice for driveway gates and pedestrian entries, where each location needs a different mix of call buttons, credentials, and readers. Regent5 specifies the module set per entry point so the driveway pedestal, the pedestrian gate, and the service entrance each get exactly what they need and nothing they do not.

Rugged Where It Needs to Be: 2N IP Force 2.0

Service gates, delivery entrances, and exposed perimeter locations get the 2N IP Force 2.0, a vandal-resistant video intercom with a 5 MP camera, enhanced audio, and QR code access. It takes weather, dust, and rough handling without complaint, and it runs the same access methods and calling behavior as the rest of the system, so staff and deliveries use one consistent workflow at every entrance on the property.

Answer the Gate From Anywhere: My2N and Indoor Stations

The My2N cloud service routes gate calls to mobile phones, with free intercom-to-mobile calling for single-family homes, so the gate is answerable from the kitchen, the office, or another continent. Indoor answering stations put a dedicated screen where the household actually is, and they can reach the door station over the internet or, in older homes, over existing two-wire cabling. WaveKey Bluetooth credentials open the gate from a phone in the pocket. In 2N's own testing across 15,000 openings with 100 different phones, the door opened in under one second 98 percent of the time.

Access Control Beyond the Intercom

Not every door needs a camera and a call button. 2N Access Unit readers bring the same PIN, RFID, and mobile credentials to pool gates, garden doors, garages, wine rooms, and outbuildings, so one credential set works across the entire property instead of a different key for every lock. Regent5 designs the credential plan alongside the intercom layout: who can open what, on which schedule, and what gets logged.

Integrated With the Rest of the Property

A gate intercom is only as good as what it connects to. Regent5 integrates 2N stations with existing gate operators for remote release, brings the intercom camera into the property's surveillance view, and surfaces gate calls on the automation platforms we install, including two-way intercom and door release on Control4 touchscreens and apps. The stations run on PoE over a single network cable, and because Regent5 holds both C10 electrical and C7 low-voltage licenses, the conduit, power, trenching, and networking to a distant gate are part of the same scope as the intercom itself.

Where We Work

Regent5 installs and services 2N intercom and gate entry systems across San Francisco, the Peninsula, the North Bay, South Bay, and East Bay, Wine Country, and the Carmel and Monterey area. In San Francisco, our work concentrates in Pacific Heights, Sea Cliff, Presidio Heights, Noe Valley, and Russian Hill. Gate entry projects begin with a site walk of the entries, the gate operators, and the cabling paths, and our San Carlos design center is where model selection and module configuration are worked through before anything is ordered.

Everything a 2N Entry System Handles

One system for every gate and door on the property: who gets in, how they ask, and what gets recorded. This is what a properly designed 2N deployment covers.

Video Calls to Your Phone

My2N routes gate calls to iOS and Android phones with two-way audio and live video, free for single-family homes, so the gate is answerable from anywhere.

Mobile, RFID, PIN and QR Access

Residents use WaveKey Bluetooth from a phone in the pocket, staff use RFID cards or fobs, and PIN codes cover everyone else. Every method works at every station.

Gate and Door Release

2N stations trigger gate operators, electric strikes, and maglocks, so the driveway gate, pedestrian gate, and front door all release from the same call or credential.

A Camera That Finds the Face

The IP Style detects a face in frame and zooms in automatically, with WDR and color in low light, so the person at the gate is recognizable at midnight, not a silhouette.

Deliveries and One-Off Credentials

QR code access issues single-use or time-limited credentials for couriers, vendors, and contractors, so a delivery gets in once without a code that lives forever.

Indoor Answering Stations

Dedicated indoor units put the gate on a screen in the kitchen or study, reachable over the network or existing two-wire cabling in older homes.

On the Automation System

Gate calls surface on the automation platforms Regent5 installs, including two-way intercom and remote release on Control4 touchscreens and the Control4 app.

Part of the Surveillance Picture

The intercom camera joins the property's surveillance view, so gate activity is seen and reviewed alongside the rest of the camera coverage rather than in a separate silo.

Taking Over a System We Didn't Install

Bought a property with 2N stations already at the gate? Regent5 takes over service regardless of who installed them, restores administrative access, and reconfigures credentials for the new household.

Weather, Dust and Vandals

IP65 and IK08 ratings on the IP Style and the vandal-resistant IP Force 2.0 mean the exposed stations at the street take rain, dust, and abuse and keep working.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a 2N intercom installer near me?

Regent5 designs, installs, programs, and services 2N intercom and gate entry systems for Northern California homes and estates, serving the Peninsula, San Francisco, Marin, Wine Country, South Bay, Tri-Valley, and the Monterey Peninsula from our San Carlos office.

Can 2N replace my old DoorKing or analog gate intercom?

In most cases, yes. A 2N IP station replaces the aging call box while the existing gate operator usually stays and is triggered by the new station's relay. Existing conduit is reused where it is serviceable, and Regent5's C10 and C7 licenses cover any new power, conduit, or trenching the upgrade needs.

Which 2N model is right for my gate?

The IP Style with its 10 inch touch display suits the primary entry of an estate. The modular IP Verso 2.0 is the standard for driveway and pedestrian gates, configured from the modules each location needs. The vandal-resistant IP Force 2.0 covers service gates and exposed locations. Regent5 works through model and module selection at our San Carlos design center before anything is ordered.

Does 2N work with Control4, Savant, or my automation system?

2N door stations integrate with the automation platforms Regent5 installs. On Control4, they appear with two-way intercom, live video, and remote gate and door release on the T4 touchscreen and the app. Integration scope for other platforms is confirmed per project during design.

What is WaveKey and how fast is mobile access?

WaveKey is 2N's Bluetooth mobile access technology: the phone stays in the pocket and the gate opens as the resident approaches. In 2N's own testing across 15,000 openings with 100 different phones, the door opened in under one second 98 percent of the time.

How are 2N stations wired and powered?

2N IP stations run on Power over Ethernet: one network cable carries data and power. For a distant driveway gate that means conduit, trenching, and sometimes local power work, which Regent5 performs under its own C10 electrical and C7 low-voltage licenses rather than splitting the job across contractors.

What if the gate intercom stops calling our phones?

Most call-delivery issues trace to the network or the cloud service configuration and are resolved remotely without a truck roll. If the fault is at the station, the gate operator, or the cabling, we schedule an on-site visit. Regent5 services existing 2N systems regardless of who installed them.

Can one 2N system cover multiple gates and buildings?

Yes. Multi-gate estates run several 2N stations on one system with a shared credential plan, so the main gate, pedestrian entry, service entrance, and outbuilding doors all answer to the same phones, indoor stations, and access rules. Guest houses and staff quarters get their own call routing.

We bought a house with a 2N intercom already installed. Can Regent5 take it over?

Yes. Regent5 takes over existing 2N systems regardless of who installed them: we restore administrative access, reconfigure the credentials and call routing for the new household, and fold the stations into a service relationship so the gate keeps working long after move-in.
