Hanwha TCIS-3 Outdoor SIP Intercom
Overview
The Hanwha TCIS-3 is an IP66-rated outdoor SIP intercom designed for building entry, public address, and security checkpoint installations where weather resistance and clear audio are non-negotiable. This unit delivers HD voice quality with active noise cancellation and automatic gain control — meaning voices stay legible even in noisy loading docks, windy parking areas, or crowded lobbies without operator volume tweaking. Rated for -40°C to 60°C operation, the TCIS-3 mounts to walls or racks and draws power exclusively via PoE (802.3af), eliminating dedicated power runs. The die-cast aluminum frame and thermoplastic front plate achieve IP66 (dust and direct rain) and IK08 (impact resistance), making it suitable for semi-vandalism-prone environments.
Audio Specifications
Audio quality defines this device. Articulation loss of consonants (Alcons) measures under 5% at 70 dB — industry-standard intelligibility for speech recognition. Total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) stays below 2% at 70 dB SPL without noise reduction engaged. The 10W Class D amplifier produces 95 dB SPL in open duplex (simultaneous two-way) and 105 dB SPL in half duplex (alternating direction), enough for outdoor announcements without feedback. Voice activity detection and active noise cancellation suppress background rumble, and the MEMS microphone captures clear incoming audio even during simultaneous transmission.
Compatibility
The TCIS-3 integrates with SIP-based phone systems and VoIP infrastructures certified for Avaya, Cisco, and NEC platforms. It operates over standard Ethernet using PoE (802.3af), requiring only a single CAT5e/6 run to the installation point. The intercom functions as a standard SIP endpoint — configure it in your PBX as you would any IP phone. It does not require proprietary software or controllers beyond your existing SIP call server.
Installation Notes
Mount horizontally on exterior walls or vertically on rack frames using the included bracket. Verify PoE power availability at the switch before installation — the TCIS-3 draws under 13W, well within 802.3af budget. Ensure the wall surface or rack has a 1m minimum clearance around the speaker grille to avoid audio reflection. No additional audio cabling needed; all signal and power routes through the single Ethernet connection.
