The SimCapture Paging App is currently in beta. This means it may include bugs, incomplete features, or unexpected behavior. The final version may differ.
Before You Begin
- Download the SimCapture Paging App installer (.msi) for Windows 10 or 11.
- Beta users: Contact SimCapture Support for help with initial setup and compatibility checks.
- Audio Module Compatibility:
- Axis P8221: App can page directly to this module.
- Axis D3110: Requires an additional IP speaker (recommended: Axis C1410 MK II) for paging.
This app is intended to replace the current Software Paging Station. Contact Support or your Impact Manager if you’d like to transition.
