AXIS C3003-E vs. analog loudspeakers
AXIS C3003-E (Digital) Analog loudspeaker
• Built-in amplifier, no additional equipment required • Many require connection to an external amplifier
• One network cable for communication and power
through PoE

network camera and a cable from camera to a switch
• Works as a standalone unit and can be placed
anywhere; enables flexible, cost-effective system
design
• Speaker must connect to and be placed close to a
network camera since analog cables are sensitive to
disturbances
• Auto Speaker Test provides feedback to system • No ability to know if speaker is working or not
• Can be connected to cloud services • Not available
