Ubiquiti UP-AI-HORN-SPEAKER-B All-weather PoE 120 dB horn

Ubiquiti UP-AI-HORN-SPEAKER-B PoE Horn Speaker

Overview

The Ubiquiti UP-AI-HORN-SPEAKER-B is a network-integrated horn speaker designed for outdoor security and facility management applications. This PoE-powered device delivers 120 dB output across IP-based infrastructure, enabling remote audio alerts, announcements, and integrated responses within UniFi Protect AI ecosystems. Engineered for all-weather operation, the unit weighs 2.5 lb and connects directly to network switches via standard PoE, eliminating dedicated power infrastructure at deployment points.

Key Features

The horn speaker operates as a managed network device, integrating seamlessly with IP-based security systems and automation platforms. Its 120 dB output rating ensures audible coverage across large outdoor areas, parking facilities, campuses, and industrial sites. PoE power delivery simplifies installation while reducing cable runs to individual audio endpoints. The unit's compact horn form factor and robust construction support extended outdoor exposure without dedicated weatherproofing enclosures.

Deployment Scenarios

This device suits multi-site deployments where coordinated audio alerts improve response protocols. Campus security systems benefit from network-triggered announcements during emergencies. Parking facilities and perimeter security installations use the UP-AI-HORN-SPEAKER-B to broadcast warnings or access notifications. Industrial environments leverage the speaker for shift changes, safety alerts, or integrated alarm responses synchronized with video surveillance triggers.

Network Integration

The speaker integrates into Ubiquiti's UniFi Protect AI platform, enabling rule-based audio responses triggered by detected events—unauthorized access, motion in restricted zones, or security violations. IP-based management allows centralized control across distributed locations from a single management console. Network integration permits scheduled announcements, on-demand broadcasts, and event-driven audio triggers without local controllers.

Installation Notes

Installation requires standard PoE-enabled network infrastructure (PoE injector or switch port). Mount securely to support structures using provided hardware, ensuring proper horn orientation for coverage areas. No additional power supplies or audio amplifiers are required. The unit supports standard network configuration via UniFi management software; basic network documentation should record IP assignment and VLAN placement if segmented.

Eden Phillips, Infrastructure Specialist

"The UP-AI-HORN-SPEAKER-B simplifies audio alerting across distributed sites. PoE power eliminates infrastructure overhead, and tight integration with UniFi Protect AI allows event-driven triggers—useful when you need immediate audio response to security events. For integrators managing multi-building campuses or industrial sites, this device reduces project scope and ongoing maintenance complexity compared to standalone audio systems."
