Purpose-built for intelligible outdoor paging

The IVNS100YA uses a horn format because horn loading improves projection efficiency and speech directionality compared with a small cabinet speaker. That matters for warning tones, evacuation prompts, bell replacement, staff call-outs and remote operator announcements where vocal intelligibility must remain usable over traffic, wind, machinery or playground noise. The specified 30W output gives meaningful headroom for these applications without moving into the complexity of a larger distributed PA amplifier architecture.

Its IP66 enclosure rating makes it suitable for exposed installation areas where dust ingress and strong water jets are real concerns. For Australian deployments, that typically includes building exteriors, covered entries, gates, forecourts, wash-down-adjacent spaces and perimeter poles. The built-in microphone extends utility beyond broadcast-only use by allowing audio monitoring or interactive workflows, depending on the wider SIP platform and system configuration in use.

SIP networking plus alarm I/O for event-driven response

SIP support places the speaker into the same design conversation as IP intercoms, VoIP endpoints and central paging servers. That opens practical deployment options: direct extension-based calling, group paging, scheduled announcements, multicast distribution and triggered playback sourced from a compatible SIP or network audio platform. On mixed security sites, this is often the cleanest path when an installer wants CCTV, access events and site-wide voice alerts to operate on common network infrastructure.

The inclusion of 1 alarm input and 1 relay output is especially useful in integrated systems. The alarm input can be tied to a dry contact from a detector, access controller, panic station or PLC-style trigger so the speaker can react to an external event. The relay output can be used to switch a strobe, door release logic, siren enable line or signal to another controller. That flexibility reduces the need for separate I/O hardware when a simple local automation path is all that is required.

Designed for security-led, network-first installations

Unlike analogue line speakers that need separate amplifiers, attenuation control and often long speaker cable runs, an IP horn speaker can be addressed on the network and managed alongside other edge devices. That simplifies distributed deployments across campuses, warehouses and multi-building sites where fibre uplinks, PoE switching and VLAN segmentation are already part of the security design. It also makes fault finding easier because power, link status and endpoint addressing remain visible at the network layer.

For integrators standardising on CCTV and intercom ecosystems, the IVNS100YA is a practical edge device for deterrence and communication. It can support live intervention from control rooms, timed message schedules, pre-recorded alerts tied to sensor events, and broad-area announcements over multicast. The result is a speaker that is more than a noise maker: it becomes an addressable security endpoint with audio, input and output functions in a single IP-rated housing.

How it works on site

A typical deployment path is straightforward, with the network handling transport and the speaker handling output, input and local event signalling.

SIP / intercom platform

Use with a compatible SIP server, IP intercom ecosystem or network audio controller for extension calling, group paging and schedule management.

Managed PoE switching

A managed switch helps with VLANs, multicast handling, remote reboot control and cleaner troubleshooting across distributed sites.

Sensors and contact devices

Door contacts, PIRs, panic buttons, access controllers or alarm outputs can drive the speaker's single alarm input for event-based playback.

CCTV and active deterrence

Pair with surveillance cameras and remote monitoring workflows to add live voice challenge, warning tones and automated perimeter messaging.
