I get transients and bums on the back of my commercial property no matter how many fences, "No Trespassing/You are under Surveillance" signs, lights, and cameras I install. Had one last Saturday night checking my back entrance door:

I have BI sending a "You are trespassing" audio clip when the AI detects people back here after hours. The problem is my 4k-x's on this pole are mounted too high for people to hear the speakers reliably. So after some thinking I decided a needer a louder speaker that I could trigger from BI. I went ahead and purchased an Axis C1310-E Mk II network horn. I purchased it on eBay from someone who had never installed it so I was able to get it for a decent discount. These speakers are $600+ brand new.
I need to rent a lift to install it and I plan on doing that tomorrow so no pictures yet. But playing around with it, the damn thing is bullet proof and built like a shit brickhouse which one expects from an Axis engineered product. It's all metal so no plastic parts to fail. It has a microphone built into it as well so I can easily do 2-way talk through it if I wish. It powers via POE and it easily triggers from BI via a simple web link that the speaker creates in the management interface. I can even upload custom audio that I record for it to play if desired. Or I can have it's built in AI read text I type into it and it can announce it back in a regular human voice. Oh, and its friggin loud!! I made the mistake of playing some of its built-in files with the speaker next to me... Yeah, don't do that. Even pointing away from me it nearly knocked me out of my chair and deafened me in the left ear.
At any rate, I'll post some pictures tomorrow after I get it up on the building.
