Hanwha Vision, a pioneer in security and surveillance solutions, introduces the Audio Beacon, SPS-A100M, an advanced AI-powered audio surveillance solution that ensures users can be alerted and respond rapidly to critical situations.
Equipped with a powerful 90dB speaker, five integrated microphones, and intelligent sound classification, the Audio Beacon is engineered to enhance situational awareness and real-time communication.
Immediate awareness
The LED ring provides a visible and reassuring confirmation that an alert has been triggered
From schools, offices and hospitals to restricted areas where cameras may not be an option, the Audio Beacon enables immediate awareness through high-volume alerts and full-duplex two-way audio, supporting rapid decision-making and direct communication with on-site individuals.
As well as functioning as a deterrent, the LED ring provides a visible and reassuring confirmation that an alert has been triggered, signalling that the situation has been detected and that assistance is on the way.
The Audio Beacon incorporates powerful AI-based sound classification to elevate real-time situational awareness. It can detect specific predefined sounds - such as screams or breaking glass - using deep-learning AI.
Direction-finding algorithms
The LED ring provides a visible and reassuring confirmation that an alert has been triggered
In addition, direction-finding algorithms support users to detect the direction of events. These capabilities enhance situational awareness in complex environments, helping to quickly identify and respond to critical events.
A clear, high-output speaker and noise-reducing microphone system enables effective communication even in loud environments. Whether used to broadcast warnings, speak directly to intruders, or respond during emergencies, the SPS-A100M adds an intelligent, interactive layer to security infrastructure.
Furthermore, the LED ring enhances visibility of alerts in any lighting condition, to provide staff and on-site individuals with a clear visual signal in real time. The feature has customisable colours and patterns to signal different types of events.
Full integration
The Audio Beacon supports full integration with key VMS platforms like Genetec, Milestone, and Wisenet WAVE, and communicates across smart building systems using the MQTT protocol. It supports Boolean event logic and delivers alerts via FTP, email, HTTP/S, and more.
With FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification, secure boot, encrypted firmware, and a tamper-detection switch, the device ensures maximum data protection and reliability.
