Hikvision 3W PoE Network Ceiling Speaker | DS-QAZ1203G1-BE
The Hikvision DS-QAZ1203G1-BE is a 3 W network (IP) ceiling speaker that connects directly to your network and is powered over PoE. It delivers up to 97 dB SPL with a 300 Hz to 15 kHz frequency response, stores audio files on its built-in 4 GB eMMC and can drive a maximum of 3 secondary speakers to extend coverage.
Color: White

Key Features:
IP broadcasting with three modes: The speaker plays regular (scheduled), live and emergency broadcasts sent over the IP network. Many speakers can be managed together from a remote platform over a local or public network, or a single unit can be set up through its own web interface.
Built-in storage and text-to-speech: A built-in 4 GB eMMC keeps up to 1 GB of audio files on the speaker itself, in MP3 or WAV format. Text-to-speech (TTS) lets you broadcast typed text with a male or female voice.
Alarm inputs with audio linkage: Two alarm inputs, an arming schedule and audio linkage let a connected sensor or contact trigger a stored message automatically.
Add secondary speakers to cover more area: A fixed-resistance 8 Ω output (Phoenix terminal) drives a maximum of 3 secondary speakers rated 3 W / 8 Ω, so you can extend sound coverage without running another network cable.
One cable for power and data: Power comes over PoE (IEEE 802.3at) from the same Ethernet cable that carries the audio, or from a 12 VDC / 1.5 A supply.
Stable and secure system: Industrial-grade dual-core chips and NOR Flash + eMMC dual storage keep a backup copy of the system. Secure startup, login locking, password-complexity prompts and security audit logs help protect the device on the network.
Who it's for / Works with: It can feed a maximum of 3 secondary speakers rated 3 W / 8 Ω, such as the Hikvision DS-QAZ0203G1-S ceiling secondary speaker, whose datasheet carries the same wiring note.
Good to know: Needs a PoE+ (802.3at) switch or injector, or a separate 12 VDC / 1.5 A power supply; a power adapter is not listed in the packing list. The fixed-resistance output supports a maximum of 3 secondary speakers only. Mounting needs a 160 mm ceiling hole.
