Product SKU: C1410
Product Overview
For facilities needing intelligible announcements, live paging, and motion-triggered audio from a single compact device, the AXIS C1410 Mk II Network Mini Speaker delivers a self-contained solution designed for ceiling and wall mounting in indoor commercial spaces. Built around a 2.5-inch broadband dynamic cone driven by a 7 W Class-D amplifier, it produces up to 90 dB SPL across a 145-degree conical coverage pattern, making it suited to corridors, waiting rooms, retail aisles, school hallways, and office reception areas. Featuring a built-in microphone for two-way audio and remote health testing, a built-in PIR sensor with a detection range of up to 6 m, and AXIS Audio Manager Edge pre-installed for zone scheduling and message management, the C1410 Mk II operates entirely over a single Cat5e PoE cable with no separate amplifier or audio cabling required. It supports SIP, VoIP, and VAPIX integration for connection to video management systems, access control, and networked paging platforms.
Key Capabilities
Wide-Area Audio Coverage
The 2.5-inch broadband dynamic cone speaker, 7 W Class-D amplifier, and 145-degree conical dispersion pattern allow a single unit to cover medium-sized indoor areas, including corridors, reception zones, and retail aisles, with clear and intelligible voice reproduction up to 90 dB SPL.
Single-Cable PoE Installation
Powered via IEEE 802.3af/at PoE over a standard RJ-45 Cat5e connection, the C1410 Mk II eliminates the need for separate power adapters, amplifier racks, or analog audio cabling, significantly reducing installation time and infrastructure cost in IP network environments.
Two-Way Audio with Built-In Microphone
A confirmed built-in microphone and built-in speaker enable real-time two-way voice communication, allowing operators to respond live to situations. The microphone also supports remote health monitoring, verifying speaker functionality without a physical site visit.
Built-In PIR Motion Sensor
The integrated PIR sensor detects movement within a range of up to 6 m and can automatically trigger pre-recorded audio messages. This supports motion-activated greetings in retail, deterrence warnings at restricted entry points, or staff alerts in monitored zones without additional hardware.
AXIS Audio Manager Edge and Open Standards
With AXIS Audio Manager Edge pre-installed, the unit supports zone-based audio scheduling, live announcements, and event-driven playback. SIP, VoIP, and VAPIX compatibility allows direct integration with video management systems, IP intercoms, access control platforms, and networked paging systems.
Best For
- Retail Environments: The built-in PIR sensor and pre-recorded message playback suit customer-facing applications such as aisle greetings, promotional announcements, and deterrence messaging without requiring a dedicated PA system.
- Office and Corporate Facilities: AXIS Audio Manager Edge scheduling allows automated timed announcements and live paging across office floors, meeting area lobbies, and reception zones from a compact ceiling-mounted unit.
- Schools and Educational Sites: The 145-degree coverage angle and 90 dB SPL output make this suited to corridors, common areas, and classrooms where clear bell announcements or live intercom messages are required.
- IP-Based Security Integrations: VMS, SIP, and VAPIX support allow the C1410 Mk II to function as an event-driven audio response device within existing AXIS camera and access control infrastructure, triggering alerts based on camera detections or door access events.
Why Choose the AXIS C1410 Mk II
The AXIS C1410 Mk II stands apart from basic passive speakers and analogue paging systems by combining amplification, DSP, a PIR sensor, a microphone, and AXIS Audio Manager Edge into a single PoE-powered ceiling unit. There is no need for an external amplifier, separate DSP processor, or dedicated power run. The onboard Class-D amplifier and 100 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response deliver consistent voice clarity across the full 145-degree dispersion pattern, while the PIR sensor adds intelligence that passive speaker systems simply cannot provide. For sites already running AXIS cameras or AXIS access control, the VAPIX and SIP integration allows the speaker to respond directly to system events without third-party middleware. The 5-year manufacturer warranty and remote health testing via the built-in microphone reduce ongoing maintenance overhead on multi-device deployments. Available at Security Wholesalers, the C1410 Mk II suits commercial installers and integrators building unified IP audio and security systems.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: The C1410 Mk II covers small to medium indoor areas from a single unit. For larger open-plan spaces, long corridors, or multi-room deployments, plan for multiple units to maintain consistent SPL and even coverage. AXIS Audio Manager Edge supports zone grouping, so multiple speakers across a floor can be managed and scheduled from one interface without requiring separate controllers for each zone.

Ideal Use Cases
Retail Store Aisles and Entrances
The built-in PIR sensor with a 6 m detection range automatically triggers pre-recorded messages when customers enter an aisle or approach a product display, enabling hands-free promotional or directional audio without staff involvement.
Office Reception and Lobby Areas
Ceiling-mounted above a reception desk or lobby entrance, the 145-degree conical dispersion ensures clear coverage across the zone. Live paging via SIP or VoIP allows front-desk operators to communicate directly with visitors or staff in the space.
School Corridors and Common Areas
AXIS Audio Manager Edge scheduling supports timed bell announcements and zone-specific messages across multiple units. Each C1410 Mk II operates independently over PoE, removing the need for a centralised analogue PA amplifier or cabling infrastructure.
Waiting Rooms and Healthcare Facilities
The 90 dB SPL output and broadband frequency response from 100 Hz to 20 kHz deliver voice-intelligible audio in acoustically challenging spaces such as tiled waiting rooms, where clarity of announcement content is critical for patient or visitor communication.
IP Security System Integration
VAPIX compatibility allows the C1410 Mk II to respond to events triggered by AXIS cameras or access control devices, automatically playing deterrence messages or staff alerts when an alarm condition is detected, without operator intervention.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a self-contained indoor network speaker with PIR-triggered audio, two-way communication, PoE installation, and integration into an existing IP-based VMS, SIP paging, or AXIS security platform, all without a separate amplifier or DSP unit.
- Choose a different model if: Your installation requires outdoor-rated audio coverage. The C1410 Mk II carries an IP4X indoor rating only and is not suitable for mounting under exposed eaves, in car parks, or in any environment subject to moisture or direct water exposure. An outdoor-rated IP network speaker with a higher ingress protection rating would be required for those sites.
- Choose a different model if: Your site requires high-SPL coverage of a large open area such as a warehouse floor, gymnasium, or outdoor loading dock. A single C1410 Mk II is suited to small to medium indoor zones, and applications requiring sustained high-output coverage at distance would benefit from a higher-wattage or horn-type network speaker.
FAQs
- Does the AXIS C1410 Mk II need a separate amplifier or DSP processor?
No. The unit contains a 7 W Class-D amplifier and built-in DSP as confirmed hardware components. The DSP comes pre-configured, meaning the speaker can be powered up over PoE and deployed without any additional audio processing equipment or analog infrastructure.
- Where should the C1410 Mk II be physically mounted for best audio coverage?
Ceiling mounting is recommended to take advantage of the 145-degree conical dispersion pattern, which is optimised for downward projection into medium-sized indoor areas. High wall mounting is also supported. The unit should be positioned so the PIR sensor faces the direction of expected movement, away from air vents or strong light sources that could cause false triggers within the 6 m detection range.
- Can the PIR sensor trigger different audio messages for different situations?
Yes. The PIR sensor can be configured to trigger specific pre-recorded messages stored on the unit. Using AXIS Audio Manager Edge, installers can assign different audio files to different event conditions, supporting greetings, deterrence warnings, or restricted-area alerts depending on the deployment scenario.
- What PoE standard does the C1410 Mk II require?
The unit operates on IEEE 802.3af/at Type 1 Class 3 PoE, delivered over a standard RJ-45 connection. A compatible PoE switch or mid-span injector is required. Cat5e or better cabling is recommended to ensure stable network performance and full power delivery over longer cable runs.
- Can this speaker be used as part of a larger multi-zone paging system?
Yes. AXIS Audio Manager Edge supports zone-based grouping and scheduling, allowing multiple C1410 Mk II units to be organised into separate audio zones with independent schedules or simultaneous all-zone announcements. This removes the need for a central analogue matrix controller in IP-based deployments.
- Is two-way audio confirmed on this unit?
Yes. The product data confirms both a built-in speaker and a built-in microphone, enabling real-time two-way audio communication. The microphone also serves a secondary function as a remote health testing tool, allowing operators to verify that the speaker is producing output correctly without visiting the installation site.
- Is the AXIS C1410 Mk II suitable for outdoor installation?
No. The unit carries an IP4X environmental rating, which provides basic dust protection but no water or moisture resistance. It is confirmed for indoor use only and should not be installed in locations exposed to rain, condensation, or outdoor conditions. Through Security Wholesalers, outdoor-rated audio products are available for sites requiring exterior coverage.
