Product Features
Technical Overview
This Valcom horn operates as an IP-enabled audible alarm device, engineered for high-efficiency audio projection. The 116 dB sound emission level ensures audibility in noisy or large spaces, making it suitable for emergency alerts, paging, and industrial signaling. The product functions primarily as an alarm, with one-way communication for broadcasting tones and alerts.
Network connectivity is managed through a separate indoor-mounted network interface, which handles PoE power delivery and data transmission. This setup allows the horn unit itself to be placed in demanding outdoor or exposed locations while keeping sensitive electronics protected. The system supports integration with Valcom, InformaCast, and Syn-Apps software platforms for centralized management.
