Network Multi-Info Speaker, with 1 x Color LCD

ZYCOO IPS-M1-D1W Network Multi-Info Speaker

Intro paragraph

The ZYCOO IPS-M1-D1W is a SIP wall speaker with a colour LCD and an RGB strobe built in. It plays announcements, shows the message on screen and flashes a strobe, so an alert reaches people who cannot hear it or who are too far away to notice it. It has a dual-microphone design for two-way intercom and registers with the ZYCOO IP Audio Center or any third-party IP-PBX. If you only need audio and a strobe, see the IPS-M1-BW, which is the same speaker without the screen.

Sound, screen and strobe in one unit

Audio, display and strobe can be linked to the same event. A trigger can play a tone or message, show text on the LCD and start a strobe profile together, using preset alert scenarios.

• Colour LCD: a 16-bit RGB back-lit display at 1920 x 480 pixels and 600 nits, with custom text, scrolling text, background colours and ten brightness levels.
• Strobe: red, green or blue at low, medium or high brightness, with configurable patterns for different alerts.
• Caller name and number: shown on screen during SIP calls.
• Standby screen: shows the clock, and a countdown timer can be displayed.
• Event scheduler: run timed messages and events.
• 8GB internal storage: holds audio files on the device for scheduled playback.

Alert triggers

Predefined alerts can be started by a BLE wearable button, a switch input or a SIP call. The dry contact output can operate linked devices such as door locks or beacons. Wearable smart buttons such as the IPS-K-BT1 work over Bluetooth 5.0 with BLE.

Network and power

The IPS-M1-D1W connects over Ethernet or dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax, 2.4GHz and 5GHz), which suits spaces where running a cable is difficult. It is powered by PoE+ or an external 24V/2A DC supply, and a single PoE+ cable carries both power and network.

PoE+ gives the same output as DC power.

Mounting

The unit mounts to a wall either vertically or at an angle. Vertical mounting gives a clean, space-saving fit in classrooms, offices and waiting areas. In higher positions, angling the unit directs sound toward the listening area and makes the screen and emergency text easier to read from below.

Paging, intercom and integration

• Two-way intercom: the built-in microphone supports two-way communication from the speaker.
• Zone paging and multicast: multicast scales across large sites, and P2P allows direct audio between endpoints without a server.
• Three SIP account lines: register the speaker to more than one account or system.
• Standard SIP: works with the ZYCOO IP Audio Center and third-party IP-PBX platforms.
• ONVIF compatible: connects to video surveillance platforms for event-linked alerts and security workflows.
• Flexible API and MQTT: integrate with automation tools, third-party platforms and custom applications.
• Dry contact output and two switch inputs: trigger external equipment such as door locks or beacons, or start an alert from a button or sensor.
• VC-Z01 compatible: works with the ZYCOO VC-Z01 Network Volume Controller for local volume adjustment.

Installation and build

The housing is aluminium with a textured white epoxy finish, designed for wall mounting. Configuration and monitoring are done through a web interface, so messages, strobe profiles and settings can be changed remotely. The operating range is -20°C to 50°C. The warranty is 24 months.

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

What does a multi-info speaker do that a normal network speaker does not?
It adds a colour LCD and a strobe to the speaker. Announcements and alerts can be heard, read and seen at the same time.

What is the difference between the IPS-M1-D1W and the IPS-M1-BW?
The D1W has a colour LCD for text, a clock, countdowns and caller information, plus the strobe. The BW has audio and strobe only, with no screen. Both share the same audio, networking and integration features.

Can it connect over Wi-Fi?
Yes. It supports Ethernet or dual-band Wi-Fi. A single PoE+ cable can carry power and network, or you can use an external 24V DC supply.

Does it work with wearable panic buttons?
It supports wearable BLE smart buttons. A button press can trigger coordinated audio and visual alerts.

Does it need a separate amplifier?
No. It has a built-in Class-D amplifier and works as a standalone network speaker.

Can people talk back through the speaker?
Yes. The built-in microphone supports two-way intercom.

Does it work with third-party phone systems?
Yes. It uses standard SIP and works with the ZYCOO IP Audio Center and other third-party IP-PBX systems.

What does the screen show when nothing is happening?
The idle screen can show the current time and date.

Can it be mounted at an angle?
Yes. It mounts vertically or at an angle on a wall. Angling it in a high position directs sound and makes the screen easier to read from below.

What warranty does it have?
24 months.
