Reach even more people with a versatile tool for effective public address. This dual-sided indoor device, perfect for wall or ceiling mounting in corridors, combines two powerful speakers, two displays for text, and a configurable strobe bar.
Public address with a bigger reach
To ensure clear messaging even in busy corridors, AXIS C1720 Network Display Speaker offers three ways to communicate in one device. The strobe grabs attention, and the powerful speakers cut through ambient noise with clear speech and, when needed, loud alarms. The easy-to read text display automatically adjusts to surrounding light levels. This speaker enables both live and prerecorded messages, as well as ad hoc and scheduled strobes and text. Content prioritization guarantees urgent messages override scheduled audio, while remote health monitoring and testing give you peace of mind that your speakers are working.

One solution, many possibilities
This flexible display speaker is ideal for both critical and non-critical messages, helping you keep people safe and informed, protect your property, and improve efficiency and ambiance. The same solution can broadcast bell signals, alarms, and background music. When not in use, the display shows the date and time. You can also configure the display speaker to respond automatically to events using the built-in motion detector. For even more possibilities, integrate cameras or other Axis devices, or leverage the open platform to integrate third-party solutions – for example, mass notification systems.

Made with you in mind
Mix and match speaker, strobe, and display functions and manage them the way you want. Make announcements from your communication hub or on the go, using a SIP-enabled phone. Need two-way communication? Open a line for two-way audio and speak to the scene. Instantly change content, schedules, zones, and prioritization using Axis audio management software. The size and styling of display text is up to you, and you can customize the strobe color and pattern for different alerts. Getting started is easy. Speakers are preconfigured for great sound, and safety features make installation a snap, whether you choose AXIS TC1604 Wall Mount or AXIS TC1605 Ceiling Mount accessories
AXIS C1720 Network Display Speaker can be used in an Axis end-to-end solution, integrated with third-party solutions such as mass notification systems, or as a stand-alone device managed in third-party video management software (VMS). This page describes the full functionality when used with Axis audio management software. See the table on the AXIS C17 series page for an overview of different configurations and functionality.

Software Bill of Materials
A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is a nested inventory list of all components included in the software. It has become an increasingly important and common part of software development lifecycle and processes.
Axis works actively with the principles of openness and building trust through transparency, the SBOM is a valued addition to these principles. It provides information to be able to understand if a device has a certain known cybersecurity vulnerability. For more information about AXIS SBOM, please visit the AXIS OS portal.
