Hanwha Vision Audio System Amplifies Surveillance

October 23, 2023

Hanwha Vision’s IP audio system features several components including speakers in multiple form factors, an audio module for analog speaker control and an audio server. The system can operate as a stand-alone system, or it can be linked with a video surveillance system as an integrated solution to broadcast either real-time or pre-recorded messages to pre-emptively address suspicious or criminal activities. In addition to security-related messages, the system can also be configured to produce background music and informational announcements. Users can input text-to-speech messages that the system broadcasts as audio warnings and other notifications to reduce incidents of criminal behavior in public settings. In perimeter monitoring applications, the system can issue audio warnings if a potential infiltration is detected or if the system senses human activity that indicates a possible perimeter breaching. In retail settings, the IP audio system can help prevent theft using a “dwell time trigger” that can detect people in a retail space lingering for a suspiciously long period. The system can broadcast an audio warning instructing the person to seek assistance from a sales associate, making it clear to any potential shoplifter that their behavior is under surveillance. The IP audio system includes several speaker form factors designed to fit seamlessly into any environment. Its pendant speakers have a sleek appearance that can be hung from ceilings, while the wall/cabinet speakers and plenum-rated in-ceiling speaker can be tucked away to blend into any setting. The 124dB horn speaker can function in both indoor and outdoor areas.
