Just add sound
Network audio solutions in education
Public address that’s in tune with you
Ambient noise, projection limitations, and electrical interference all impact analog audio performance. Digital solutions are different. Axis public address solutions deliver clear voice messages, bell signals, and background music, indoors and out, even in tough conditions. Our speakers are easy to integrate – for example, with third-party mass notification systems – and to scale. They’re also smart. Know speakers are working with continuous health monitoring and remote testing. Target messages with flexible audio zoning. And add audio analytics to turn your speakers into acoustic sensors that improve your awareness and response times, 24/7.

Focus areas
Multipurpose audio
You can use our flexible network audio solutions to improve campus security, safety, efficiency, or all three – and add new functionality whenever you choose. For example, configure your speakers to automatically broadcast pre-recorded messages in response to security events detected by analytics-equipped network cameras. Or take advantage of our open platform to integrate third-party technology such as mass notification software, audio analytics, and VoIP (supporting SIP). No matter how you use your public address system, zoning and content prioritization get the right audio to the right place at the right time, without disturbing others.
An end-to-end solution
Choosing network audio solutions means you’re opting for a solution that’s scalable, flexible, and much bigger than the sum of its parts. Choosing Axis means you’re paving the way to get the most out of that solution. With our broad portfolio of perfectly matched cameras, radar, access control, and more, it couldn’t be easier to build the solution you need. Pair audio with radar to automatically warn speeding vehicles to slow down. Pair it with cameras to send late-night loiterers on their way, or to automatically redirect visitors from a restricted parking lot to a public one. It’s all possible with the Axis portfolio – and it’s only the beginning.
