It’s not easy to ensure that everyone hears the messages. The paging sound level shouldn’t be too loud or quiet; it must be just right. Selecting and installing IP paging speakers in buildings and outdoors is a science.
In schools, the paging announcements keep the staff and students aware of the schedule. In manufacturing and warehouses, announcements can notify the employees of shift changes. Sometimes, the paging announcements can be critical, such as a fire requiring a quick exit or an intruder causing a lockdown. You can also see our video describing how to select the right paging speakers.
Here’s a comprehensive guide to selecting and installing paging speakers for optimal sound coverage:

Door readers are devices at the door that determine your permission to enter. The first electronic readers were developed in the 1960s. They had a keypad allowing users to enter their credentials. This PIN (Personal Identification Number) permits entry if you enter the correct number. Over the years, many types of door readers have been developed that are safer, simpler to install, and easier to use.
This article reviews some of the most popular door readers and provides each type’s advantages and disadvantages:
