Description
Combine InformaCast IP paging and a 5-character digital clock display in a single surface-mount wall unit with the Valcom VIP-411A-DS-IC, a PoE-powered IP speaker with 103dB output and red LED clock digits for hallway and common area installations requiring both audio and time display.
The Telecom Spot Expert Review
The VIP-411A-DS-IC is designed for hallways, corridors, and common areas where a clock display and a paging speaker are both needed but separate devices would require two mounting locations and two cable runs. The 2.5-inch 5-character clock with red LED digits provides high-contrast time visibility in ambient-lit institutional corridors at moderate viewing distances. InformaCast certification ensures this unit participates natively in Cisco InformaCast bell schedules, emergency alerts, and notification routing without additional configuration. The 103dB output from the IP speaker element delivers clear paging audio alongside the clock function. A single Ethernet cable provides PoE power, network time sync, and audio — no separate clock wiring, no AC outlet. Line output supports additional Valcom amplified speakers in the same area, extending coverage without additional network drops.
