Audio for security

Our network audio solutions add value to your video-based security system by helping you act on what you see. With prerecorded or live voice messages, you can respond and intervene to stop unwanted activities.

From reactive to proactive security

Axis network audio solutions elevate a security system to the next level of protection and offer significant savings with improved asset protection, optimized resource allocation, and more. They can also increase safety and reinforce compliance on your premises. While the camera records and keeps evidence to prove a situation happened, audio solutions allow you to intervene with the scene in real-time to prevent unwanted activities. Informing bad actors that they’re being recorded is oftentimes enough to scare them off and can eliminate the need to send out guards to the site.

Act on what you see and protect your property with voice messages

Monitoring extensive, remote areas can be challenging. Whether they’re potential criminals or simply individuals who have lost their way, our video surveillance together with audio can quickly detect and identify unauthorized individuals and let you intervene directly with the scene.

Event triggered prerecorded message

There is no greater deterrence to suspicious behavior than a well-timed voice message. It’s easy to set up your system to trigger prerecorded messages in response to potential criminal activity. For instance, “we can see you and you’re trespassing”.

Manually triggered prerecorded message

The camera supported by analytics can detect what’s happening in the scene and send a notification to the administrator who can evaluate the situation and respond by manually trigger a prerecorded message to remotely address people and deter unwanted activity.

Live call out

The system can send a notification to a security guard who can then speak directly to a culprit. For instance, “to the person in the blue baseball cap with the can of spray-paint – be aware that you’re on camera.”

Let’s look at just a few examples of scenarios using live callouts and prerecorded messages. There are many more applications where audio, together with video surveillance can help protect your property.
