Description
Add InformaCast-triggered relay control and contact input monitoring to your IP network with the VIP-848AR-IC, an 8-port input and relay module that lets InformaCast trigger doors, alarms, lights, and external devices across single or multiple sites.
The Telecom Spot Expert Review
The VIP-848AR-IC brings InformaCast into the physical control layer — eight relays and eight contact closure inputs, all network-accessible and InformaCast-compatible. Trigger door strikes during lockdown, activate strobes and horns, or monitor sensor inputs that feed back into the InformaCast notification workflow. Use 1- to 11-digit dial plans when pairing with a Valcom console to trigger specific relays with a page code, eliminating custom programming on each job. PoE powered, no local power supply needed.
