Overview
This document covers how to add an IP speaker to the Sunview CMS and how to utilize its broadcasting and event-linking capabilities.
Procedure
Add the Speaker to the CMSIn the CMS Menu, go to the Device card to add the speaker.
You can discover the speaker automatically using Auto Search or add it manually. To add it manually, click + Add Device and input the network details. Ensure you select Network Speaker under Device Type and Onvif under Protocol.
Once connected successfully, the device status will display as Online in the device list.
Access and Control the Speaker
To use the speaker, go to the Live View card.
Locate the speaker under your device list. Right-click on the device to access two primary control options: Broadcast and Two-way Audio.
Broadcast – Speaker Group Management and Scheduled Broadcasts
Step 2: Upload Audio Files
Switch to the Audio Files tab and click Upload to import audio files (such as MP3 formats) to the CMS server.
Step 3: Create a Broadcast Schedule
Navigate to the schedule configuration window to define planned automatic broadcasting intervals.
Manual Real-Time Broadcasting:
To broadcast instantly, go to Real Time Broadcast. Select a pre-recorded audio file to play manually, or stream directly from your PC microphone.
Two-way AudioSelect Two-way Audio from the right-click context menu to establish active, real-time voice communication to talk and listen through the speaker.
Event Linkage Configuration
You can create automated event linkage strategies (for example, triggering the speaker to play an audio alert automatically when a surveillance camera detects an intrusion).
To configure this, open the Event Linkage card.
Step 1: Add a Strategy
Click the plus (+) button in the Event Linkage interface to create a new linkage strategy.
Step 2: Configure the Trigger Condition
Select the Trigger Condition tab. Set the Trigger Type to Alarm event and select Intrusion as the Trigger Event. Select the target camera under the Alarm Device list.
Step 3: Configure the Linkage Event
Select the Linkage Event tab. Enable the Voice Broadcasting checkbox, select your IP speaker from the dropdown list, and choose the audio file to be broadcasted (use Local import to upload a file from your computer to the server).
Step 4: Set the Active Schedule
Select the Schedule tab and highlight the active grid hours during which this automation rule should run (e.g., 24/7 coverage). Click Save to apply and activate the strategy.
Troubleshooting
- Device not showing as Online: Verify you selected Network speaker as the Device Type and Onvif as the Protocol, and confirm the IP/ID/Domain name, port, and administrator Username/Password were entered correctly during manual add.
- Broadcast/Two-way Audio not available: Ensure you are using the Live View card and that you right-click the speaker device from the device list to access Broadcast and Two-way Audio.
- Event-linked voice not triggering: In Event Linkage, confirm the strategy’s Trigger Condition is set to Alarm event with Intrusion, that the correct camera is selected in the Alarm Device list, and that the linkage event has Voice Broadcasting enabled with the correct speaker and audio file selected. Also verify the active schedule grid hours are highlighted and saved.
