ONVIF AUDIO
VMS audio over ONVIF
Selected IP audio models document VMS compatibility via ONVIF. Plan the operator’s audio action and test it with the chosen video management platform.

TECHNOLOGY & INTEGRATIONIP audio, SIP paging
IP audio, SIP paging
and system integration.
Plan communication around your operating workflow. Match the paging method, network and integration interface to the documented capabilities of each device.
01 / SIP COMMUNICATIONLive paging.
Live paging.
Connected call handling.
A compatible SIP platform handles sessions between operators and selected endpoints. Plan group paging and concurrent capacity against the actual controller and devices.
- Calling
- Register supported devices with the selected SIP platform.
- Paging
- Define announcement groups and operator permissions.
- Audio
- Confirm codecs and the configured media route across the network.
THE SYSTEM AT A GLANCEEvery connection. One site network.
SIP / IP AUDIOEthernet / LAN connectionsExample equipment
SIP controls calls; audio routing follows the system configuration. Confirm device power and network settings during design.
02 / MULTICAST AUDIOOne audio stream.
One audio stream.
Defined listening groups.
Compatible receivers listen to an audio stream on a prepared IP network. Plan switching, group membership, routing and audio format together.
- Receivers
- Select models with documented multicast reception.
- Network
- Review multicast groups, switching and routing with your network team.
- Playback
- Align the sender’s audio format with the selected receivers.

Multicast requires compatible receivers and a configured network. Confirm device power and network settings during design.
03 / VMS & API INTEGRATION
Connect audio, video and project workflows.
Choose the interface against the actual model documentation and the operation you need. These three paths have different connection requirements.
HTTP API
HTTP API integration
Documented HTTP API functions on supported devices allow project-specific alarm workflows. Request the model’s interface details and agree the event handling before implementation.
- Project application
- HTTP API
- Documented alarm function
CAMERA OUTPUT
Camera-connected PA audio
CCTV active speakers receive audio from a compatible camera output, with operation through its NVR or VMS. This route uses the camera’s audio interface and the speaker’s own power arrangement.
- Camera / NVR / VMS
- RCA audio output
- CCTV active speaker
Define the integration before deployment.
Review compatibility evidenceShare your VMS platform, selected models, firmware and the action you want to trigger. SipTok can help define the integration and configuration scope.
04 / INTERFACES & INSTALLATION
Check the complete connection.
Match signalling, audio, network policy and power across the complete communication path before finalizing equipment.
System design & configuration supportSIP network speakers
Supported SIP models connect to a compatible communication platform. Check the specific model’s registration, codec, network and calling requirements.
CCTV active speakers
These speakers connect to compatible camera audio outputs. This is a different communication path from SIP registration over Ethernet.
PoE installation
Check the endpoint power requirement and the switch’s per-port and total budget. Amplifier output power is not the same as device input power.
VMS and API verification
Record the selected model, firmware, platform and required operation. Review its documented interface, then test the intended workflow before deployment.
