Enhancing Hospital Safety with Intelligent IP Intercom & PA Systems
January 28 , 2026
In modern healthcare environments, secure and reliable communication is not just convenient — it is critical. Hospitals face many challenges every day: coordinating fast-moving medical teams, responding to patient emergencies, preventing unauthorized access, and maintaining calm during crisis situations. Traditional, isolated communication devices cannot meet these challenges efficiently. That’s where IP intercoms and network audio systems become powerful tools, providing real-time two-way communication, situational alerts, and integrated security responses across healthcare facilities.
At TONMIND, we take these ideas further by offering a comprehensive suite of IP-based audio, intercom, and PA solutions that integrate around open standards like SIP and ONVIF, ensuring interoperability with VoIP telephony, video surveillance (VMS), and centralized management platforms.
Successful emergency response and hospital safety depend on clear, instant communication. IP intercom systems:
Connect staff instantly — enabling medical teams to communicate across wards, departments, and emergency zones with crisp, two-way audio.
Control access to critical areas — pharmacy doors, labs, and surgical prep rooms can be managed with integrated intercom access and audio/video confirmation.
Trigger alerts in real time — automatically notify response teams to patient falls or urgent calls without delay.
Bridge patient and caregiver communication — especially in quarantine or critical care units where minimizing physical contact is essential.
These features don’t just improve efficiency — they save time, and in healthcare, every second counts.
Below are some TONMIND IP audio & intercom technologies that help architects, planners, and hospital IT teams build safer healthcare facilities.
A flexible intercom and paging controller built for high-traffic environments:
● Supports 8 SIP lines and multiple paging modes (point-to-point, multicast, zoned paging) — ideal for busy nurse stations and reception desks.
● Built-in Android system with 8 GB flash storage for system flexibility.
● Real-time monitoring, speed dials, and FTP/USB media support for announcements and on-the-fly messaging.
This unit helps centralize communication and announcements throughout hospital wings, ensuring key messages reach the right people at the right time.
TONMIND offers a range of network audio endpoints suited for both indoor corridors and outdoor zones:
● SIP-S01 Ceiling Speaker: PoE powered, 15 W HD audio with onboard MIC for two-way intercom use.
● SIP-S11 Wall Speaker: IP55 water-resistant with SIP & ONVIF support — ideal for hallways and facility entrances.
● SIP-S21T Horn Speaker: 30 W high-output, IP67 waterproof for outdoor perimeter security alerts.
All speakers support high-fidelity 48 kHz OPUS audio codec, pre-recorded announcements, and schedule playback to coordinate alerts or paging across the hospital.
For critical access points requiring visual verification, TONMIND’s D26V SIP Video Intercom brings voice and image together:
● Full SIP + ONVIF compatibility for seamless integration with VoIP phones and security systems.
● Built-in 2 MP camera, PoE support, and robust audio features including AEC and noise reduction.
This product enhances door-entry control and nurse call systems, reducing unauthorized access and improving situational awareness.
For system integrators and OEM solutions, TONMIND offers SIP-PCB boards that can be embedded in custom intercom and speaker endpoints:
● Supports two-way audio, pre-recorded content, GPIO alarms, and HTTP control.
● Compatible with VoIP and ONVIF systems — ideal for custom door stations and hybrid systems.
Using open standards like SIP and ONVIF ensures TONMIND devices work seamlessly with broader hospital communication infrastructure, from IP phones and access control to IP CCTV systems. This interoperability is crucial for building systems that are scalable, reliable, and future-ready.
Whether in emergency response, daily announcements, or access control, IP intercom and PA systems help hospitals move from reactive to proactive communication strategies, improving patient care while enhancing security and operational efficiency.
