One Click, Every Speaker: Live IP Speaker Talk-Down on InVid NVRs

A camera records what happened. A speaker can stop it while it's happening.

Live talk-down is one of the simplest ways to turn a video system into active deterrence. Someone walks onto a closed lot, an operator sees it, and a voice comes through a speaker telling them they're on camera. Most people leave.

Both InVid NVR lines can broadcast your voice live to IP speakers. They work differently, so here's what each one does and how to set it up.

Vision Series AI NVR: Up to 5 Speakers, From Anywhere

Vision Series AI NVRs broadcast your voice to up to 5 IP speakers at the same time. You can cover the front entrance, parking lot, loading dock, side gate and rear yard with one announcement.

You don't have to be at the recorder to do it. Vision supports live broadcast from:

• The NVR's local monitor
• The web UI
• The app
• Vision CMS

How it works

1. Connect your IP speakers to the Vision NVR.
2. Open the broadcast option and select the speakers you want to reach.
3. Click the speaker icon and talk. Your voice goes out through every selected speaker live.

Paramont Series NVR: Talk Down Right From the Desk

Paramont Series NVRs broadcast live to up to 3 IP speakers from the NVR's local monitor. It's built for on-site monitoring: a guard desk, a front desk, or a back office where someone is watching the cameras.

Broadcast on Paramont runs from the local monitor only. It isn't available from the web UI or CMS.

How it works

1. Connect a microphone to the NVR.
2. On the local monitor, open the broadcast option and select up to 3 speakers.
3. Talk. Your voice goes out through every selected speaker live.

Vision vs. Paramont at a Glance

Where It Fits

Mix and match indoor, outdoor and IP strobe speakers to suit the site:

• After-hours lots and perimeters: warn trespassers before anything happens.
• Loading docks and gates: direct drivers and visitors without walking out.
• Lobbies and entrances: make announcements or redirect visitors from the desk.
• Multi-building sites: reach several areas with one broadcast.

The IP strobe speaker adds a visual alert on top of the voice, which helps in loud areas or after dark.
