Description
Deliver visual telephone ring and paging alerts in any space where audio-only notification is not enough using the Valcom VIP-VAF, a network-controlled multi-color IP flasher that receives commands over PoE and triggers color-coded visual signals for different alert types.
The Telecom Spot Expert Review
Audio paging reaches people who can hear it, but misses staff who are in noisy areas, wearing hearing protection, or have hearing loss. The VIP-VAF closes that gap by adding a visible flash signal that travels independently of the audio path — the same PoE network connection that carries paging commands triggers the visual output. Multi-color output matters because different colors can map to different alert types: a green flash for a normal telephone ring, a red flash for an emergency page, an amber flash for a specific zone call. This color coding lets facilities design visual notification systems where the meaning of the alert is clear at a glance without needing to hear the accompanying audio. The unit receives IP commands over the network, so visual alerting can be integrated into the same notification platform that drives the audio speakers.
