This 5-year core licence is required for each AXIS network audio device and enables full use of AXIS Audio Manager Pro. Each licence grants centralised control of the connected audio device, allowing it to participate in system-wide scheduling, live paging, and background music playback. Devices can be grouped into zones for targeted audio distribution, and the licence scales easily as additional devices are added, making it ideal for installations of any size.
AXIS Audio Manager Pro provides powerful tools for managing large network audio systems. The software supports up to 5000 devices allowing scheduling of announcements and music, live paging, and visual monitoring of device status. Up to 500 zones can be customised to deliver audio to specific areas, and content can be programmed for automated playback, giving operators full control over complex audio networks. The software integrates seamlessly with AXIS video management platforms such as AXIS Camera Station Pro for unified management of audio and video.
The software can be installed on suitable dedicated hardware or on virtual machines, providing flexible deployment options for both small and large installations. This ensures that AXIS Audio Manager Pro can integrate smoothly into existing IT infrastructures while maintaining reliable performance and scalability. Please refer to the datasheet for minimum system requirements.
