While Axis Communications is the front-runner in network video, a rapidly growing area of the business is network audio, used as both a standalone audio solution and to enhance network video cameras and analytics. The new audio solutions, presented at Integrated Systems Europe 2020 in Amsterdam, offer a world of new possibilities within public address, safety & security applications, and also to background music.
Axis network audio systems are complete high-quality solutions, ready to be used out of the box. Every individual speaker is an advanced audio system. Everything is built-in, including the amplifier, digital signal processing to ensure audio quality, and an integrated microphone for system health monitoring. Every speaker can be part of multiple zones and Axis solutions also include advanced scheduling of any audio content.
All Axis solutions are based on open standards for easy integration with other systems, anything from camera-triggered voice announcements in individual speakers to full SIP integration with the VoIP telephony system.
