In the smart city discussion, network video cameras and other IoT sensors often take center stage. In combination with network cameras, network audio can add a great deal of value in the quest to improve the quality of life for city residents and visitors. First-class network audio systems that deliver voice messages should play a central role in the ecosystem of a smart city. Using sound and audio analytics effectively, cities can greatly improve urban security, public safety, and even city operations – not to mention playing background music for ambiance. All of which are improvements that greatly contribute to the ultimate goal of the smart city: making cities more livable.

• Audio for safety - Deliver critical information or signals right where and when it's needed.
• Audio for security - Deter crime proactively with live or pre-recorded messages.
• Audio for operational efficiency – Provide information, like guidelines and regulations, that improves the way people experience life.

Network audio is so flexible that you can adapt it to new purposes as they arise. And it’s scalable so you can easily add devices to your system and create new audio zones in your city.
