Axis camera - How to add external Axis camera to 2N® Indoor Touch 2.0

You are able to add an external Axis camera into the 2N® Indoor Touch 2.0. There are two ways how you can switch between the streams from external and internal cameras. The first option is to add Axis camera directly to the  2N® Indoor Touch 2.0. The second option is to connect any IP camera to the intercom and use automation to be able to switch between the streams.
