AXIS C1710 Network Display Speaker with Strobe, Text Display & Two-Way Audio

Product SKU: AXIS C1710

Product Overview

The AXIS C1710 Network Display Speaker is a wall-mounted indoor public address device that combines a powerful network speaker, configurable text display and attention-grabbing strobe in one versatile solution. It supports live and prerecorded messages, ad hoc and scheduled text, two-way audio, audio zoning, content prioritisation, remote health monitoring and integration with Axis audio management software. The display can show text messages, date and time, while the strobe can use custom colours and patterns for different alert types. Designed for schools, offices, hospitals, retail stores, warehouses, transport facilities and commercial buildings, the AXIS C1710 helps keep people informed, improve safety communication and support day-to-day operational announcements from a single network device.

Why Choose the AXIS C1710 Network Display Speaker

The AXIS C1710 is ideal for organisations that need more than a traditional speaker. By combining audio, visual strobe alerts and a text display, it helps messages reach more people in busy, noisy or visually distracted environments. Urgent messages can override scheduled content through content prioritisation, helping ensure emergency announcements, lockdown alerts, alarms or safety instructions are delivered clearly. The device can also be used for everyday communication such as bells, reminders, background music, scheduled messages and room notifications. With two-way audio, SIP phone support, remote health monitoring and open integration options, it provides a scalable communication platform for both critical and non-critical messaging.

Key Capabilities

Key Features

• Combined Speaker, Display and Strobe: The AXIS C1710 brings audio announcements, configurable text and strobe alerts together in one wall-mounted network device. This helps improve message reach, especially in locations where ambient noise, distance or distraction can make standard speaker-only announcements less effective.

• Powerful Network Speaker: The built-in speaker is designed to cut through ambient noise with clear speech and loud alarms when required. This makes it useful for schools, commercial buildings, warehouses, public areas and workplaces where announcements must be easy to understand.

• Configurable Text Display: The display can show scheduled or ad hoc text messages and can display the date and time when not in active use. Text size and styling can be customised, making the display useful for reminders, warnings, room information, event instructions and routine communication.

• Customisable Strobe Alerts: The strobe can be configured with different colours and patterns to match different alert types. This allows the same device to communicate emergency warnings, access events, attention messages, operational states or safety instructions visually as well as audibly.

• Two-Way Audio: Two-way audio allows authorised users to speak directly to the scene when needed. This can support reception workflows, classroom communication, help point-style use, incident response, staff instructions and real-time communication during operational or safety events.

• Live and Prerecorded Messages: The AXIS C1710 supports both live announcements and prerecorded audio, allowing organisations to standardise repeated messages while still enabling immediate spoken communication. This is useful for bells, public announcements, scheduled reminders, emergency procedures and everyday building communication.

• Content Prioritisation: Content prioritisation ensures urgent messages can override scheduled audio. This is important in public address systems where routine background music, bells or scheduled messages should not prevent emergency announcements, safety alerts or critical instructions from being delivered immediately.

• Audio Zoning and Central Management: Axis audio management software allows content, schedules, zones and priorities to be managed centrally. This helps organisations send the right message to the right area and makes the AXIS C1710 practical for larger sites with multiple speakers or communication zones.

• Built-In Motion Detector: The device can respond automatically to events using its built-in motion detector, supporting automation workflows where messages, text or strobe alerts need to be triggered by local activity. This adds flexibility for unattended areas, entrances and operational spaces.

• Open Platform Integration: The AXIS C1710 can be used in an Axis end-to-end solution, integrated with third-party systems such as mass notification platforms, or used as a standalone device in compatible video management environments. This provides flexibility for new installations and upgrades to existing systems.

Specifications Summary

Understanding Network Display Speaker Communication

The AXIS C1710 is designed to communicate in three ways at once: sound, text and strobe light. This makes it more versatile than a standard network speaker because messages can be heard, read and visually noticed. A routine scheduled message can appear on the display, a live announcement can be made through the speaker, and an urgent warning can trigger both a strobe and prioritised audio. This makes the device suitable for both everyday communication and urgent public address workflows.

Tip:
Use the AXIS C1710 where people need to receive messages clearly through multiple channels. Configure audio zones, text schedules, strobe colours, message priority and integration triggers carefully so everyday announcements and urgent notifications are easy to understand.
