Latin America. Axis Communications announces the launch of AXIS C3003-E, the first cornet-style open platform speaker. The device can be connected to a video surveillance or IP telephony system so that the user can make announcements from anywhere on the network.
With a projected sound that reaches 100 meters, AXIS C3003-E is ideal for open areas in public squares, bus and train stations, schoolyards or universities and stadiums, as well as parking lots, buildings and industrial parks. In all these premises, the bugle can be used for safety purposes by preventing accidents and crime, or to improve the management of the space.
Unlike many analog speakers, this one does not require a separate amplifier or an IP camera to connect to the network. An external power supply is also not necessary, thanks to Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology. With a single network cable, the speaker turns on and connects directly to a video management system and/or a Voice over IP (VoIP) telephony system, as it supports the SIP protocol. Simply by associating a phone number with the device, the user will be able to call that number and talk normally on the phone to have their voice amplified.
"The C3003-E bugle-style speaker is a true IoT (Internet of Things) device that offers many advantages for being connected to an IP network," says Sergio Fukushima, technical manager of Axis. "One of the differences, for example, is the Auto Test feature, which checks if the device is up and running and provides audio feedback to the system. This allows us to be sure that the message is being issued," says Fukushima.
AXIS C3003-E can even play a pre-recorded audio file manually or automatically in response to an unusual event. The user himself can upload the desired file. The device easily integrates with video management systems. It is compatible with software including Aimetis, Genetec, Milestone Systems and Nice Systems, as well as AXIS Camera Station software (version 4.20). Being a network product, each AXIS C3003-E can be individually addressed via a dedicated IP address.
