AXIS External IP Relay - 1 Output, 1 Input

Do you need an intercom to switch on lights or call a lift, but the switched devices are far away and laying cables all the way to the intercom isn't an option? Use an external IP relay, which is controlled using HTTP commands from a 2N IP intercom or access unit. The command is sent to the relay over the local IP network, enabling precise, remote control of distant loads without intrusive wiring. This compact, networked solution removes the guesswork from integrating building access and device control, delivering dependable operation where conventional cabling would be impractical. It’s the smart bridge between your IP intercom ecosystem and the devices you need to actuate, offering a streamlined way to automate actions across rooms, floors, or even separate buildings.

• Seamless HTTP-based control from your 2N IP intercom or access unit: issue precise commands over the local network to switch distant devices on or off, such as hallway lights, entrance indicators, or a lift call, without running cables from the intercom to the load. The relay interprets simple HTTP requests and executes the action instantly, delivering a responsive user experience for visitors and building staff alike. This enables you to create more intuitive, responsive environments where access control and user comfort are tightly aligned with real-time needs.
• One output and one input: the AXIS External IP Relay provides a single relay channel plus a dedicated input line for feedback or triggering events. This compact configuration is ideal for scenarios where you need a single, reliable control point close to the device being actuated while the intercom remains safely separated from the load. The setup minimizes complexity while maximizing reliability, making it a practical choice for applications such as activating lighting from a distant intercom or signaling when a door or elevator is requested.
• Plug-and-play integration with 2N IP intercoms and access units: designed to work in harmony with IP-based access control ecosystems, enabling automation workflows such as turning on lighting when a visitor is detected or signaling a lift call from a distant location. The relay accepts standard HTTP commands delivered over the LAN, simplifying setup and ongoing maintenance. With this compatibility, you can extend the reach of your IP intercom system and unlock new levels of automation without rewriting existing integration logic.
• Rugged, external form factor for flexible installation: mount the relay near the devices it controls, outside the main internals of the building, so electrical loads can be managed without routing power or signal cables through ceilings or walls. This placement reduces wiring complexity, minimizes disruption to existing installations, and makes future upgrades straightforward. An external relay helps you keep critical control points close to the actual load, improving response times and simplifying serviceability in challenging installation environments.
• Clear status and straightforward maintenance: once connected, you can monitor the relay state and verify successful command execution via the intercom or network interface, and make adjustments as needed. The external IP relay is designed for reliable, long-term operation in access-control environments, with simple configuration steps to keep your system running smoothly. This practical design emphasizes reliability, ease of troubleshooting, and the ability to adapt to changing site requirements over time.

How to install AXIS External IP Relay

• Plan your installation: choose a location near the device you want to control and ensure network access to the LAN where your 2N IP intercom or access unit resides.
• Connect to the network: wire the AXIS External IP Relay to your local Ethernet network using a standard LAN connection, following your organization’s network topology and security policies.
• Wire the controlled load: connect the device you want to control (such as a light, indicator, or signaling device) to the relay’s output terminals, and use the input line for any required feedback or triggering signals as per your installation needs.
• Power and status: provide power to the relay according to the installation guide and verify that the unit powers up correctly. Ensure any necessary grounding or safety practices are followed for external devices.
• Configure for HTTP control: from the 2N IP intercom or management interface, set up the HTTP command parameters to target the relay’s IP address, enabling the intercom to send commands that toggle the output as required.
• Test the setup: issue a test HTTP command from the intercom to activate the relay and observe the controlled device’s response. Confirm that the action occurs reliably and that there is no unwanted lag or misfire.
• Document and secure: record the relay’s network address and command syntax in your system documentation, and apply your organization’s standard security practices for IP-based control to protect against unauthorized access.

Frequently asked questions

• What is the AXIS External IP Relay - 1 Output, 1 Input used for?

The device provides a remote, network-based means to control a distant load via HTTP commands issued from a 2N IP intercom or access unit. It’s ideal for situations where you need to trigger lights, indicators, or a lift call without running cables to the intercom itself, enabling smarter, more flexible building automation.

• How many outputs and inputs does it have?

It has one relay output and one input, making it suitable for a single distant load with the option to use the input for feedback or triggering related automations.

• How do I integrate it with my 2N IP intercom?

Integration is achieved by addressing the relay over your IP network and sending standard HTTP commands from the 2N IP intercom or associated management unit. This creates a straightforward workflow for turning distant devices on or off in response to intercom events or user actions.

• What network requirements are there?

The relay connects via Ethernet to the local network and communicates using IP-based protocols. Ensure the relay and the 2N IP intercom or access unit are on the same LAN or routed network with appropriate security policies in place to allow HTTP traffic between devices.

• Is this relay suitable for outdoor or harsh environments?

The description highlights an external form factor designed for flexible installation near the controlled equipment. For outdoor or challenging environments, verify the product’s enclosure ratings and installation guidelines to ensure compatibility with your site’s climate and protection requirements.

• Can I monitor the relay status remotely?

Yes. The system is designed to work with HTTP-based control from the intercom, and status checks can be performed by issuing appropriate HTTP requests or by observing the response through your intercom’s management interface, enabling you to confirm that the command was executed as intended.
