The true IP communications system with endless possibilities

The ORIGINAL IP INTERCOM system

We have been designing & manufacturing them for over 40 years. Much more than an INTERCOM system now. BUILT tough for critical, security communication in the secure facilities market, yet flexible and scalable to suit any market requirement where communication is vital. Featuring audio and video intercom, public address and help point units, communication with an individual or the masses is effortless. With the scope to achieve systems with an unlimited number of endpoints, and with virtually unlimited configuration options the possibilities are endless.

True IP technology backbone means Plug & Play

Learn how to build your system with these steps

Start with an IP network

Begin any Jacques IP communications system with an Ethernet network configured for Quality of Service. All Jacques intercom & public address endppoints connect via CAT 5 or CAT 6 to a PoE switch. Simply plug & play.

1. Add controllers & software

Add a system controller & software suitable to the intended size of the system and the functionality required. Controllers are available in hardware or virtual options. Controller redundancy can be achieved to ensure ultimate up-time of the system for critical communication.

6. Add public address functionality

Add public address functionality to create a flexible and zoned system. IP PA system offers unmatched scalability and configuration options. With dynamic grouping of PA zones and unlimited groups and zones within a group, you can tailor your site-specific PA system to ensure complete audio coverage across all buildings, areas, and precincts. Take control with the digital signal processor, allowing you to effortlessly broadcast background music to selected PA zones while simultaneously making PA announcement calls to other individual or chosen zones. Discover a new level of versatility and efficiency with Jacques IP PA system. Additionally, any intercom endpoint can be addresses individually or as part of a PA zone/group.

Advanced system features

Unrivelled features demanded by corrections

Endpoint monitoring

Master stations can listen in on any intercom endpoint without notifying the device, ideal for intelligence and welfare monitoring.

Isolate nuisance callers

To manage repeat or nuisance calls, the system offers call isolation functionality. Calls from problematic endpoints can be automatically silenced or redirected based on configurable rules. Manual or timed de-isolation options restore normal
operation.

Threshold monitoring

Audio threshold activation: When ambient noise at an intercom exceeds a set level, a call or alarm is triggered—helping detect disturbances or safety risks in high-risk areas

Configurable event triggers

Trigger events based on intercom actions, such as CCTV
switching, lighting control, door or gate release, pre-recorded
announcements, time-based call diversion, and scheduled
alarms or bells.

Advanced analytics, recording & reporting

Cutting-edge diagnostic and health monitoring features that provide real-time, 24/7 reporting on over 320 critical events, including configuration, call activity, device health, system health, and faults.
