Configuration for Video

The Grandstream phone can be configured to show video image from the following Video Door Stations:

• IP Video Door Station - 1401110100
• IP Video Door Station - 1401110200
• Turbine Compact IP Video - TCIV

The video is streamed in MJPEG format directly from the camera to the Grandstream phone. The Pulse Server is not involved in the video stream. The cameras must have a static IP address. The Grandstream phone supports up to 30 cameras.

The directory number of the Video Door Station must be defined in Grandstream phone, together with the URL of the camera in the Video Door Station. When a call is received, the phone will look up in this Camera List, and find the correct URL for the associated intercom.

• In Account > Call Settings , select Account 1
• Press the button Configure Door System to open the Camera List

Open the Camera List to define camera URL and directory numbers

• In the Camera List, enter the camera URL and the directory number of the Video Door station:

Enter the camera URL and the directory number of the Video Door station in the Grandstream phone

Which URL to use depends on the type/model of Video Door Station being used:

• Turbine Compact IP Video - TCIV: http://<IP address of the camera>:8090/mjpg/video.mjpg
  • Example: http://10.5.101.49:8090/mjpg/video.mjpg
• IP Video Door Station - 1401110100 (CP-CAM camera): http://<IP address of the camera>/mjpg/video.mjpg
  • Example: http://10.5.101.48/mjpg/video.mjpg
• IP Video Door Station - 1401110200 (Axis camera): http://<IP address of the camera>/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi
  • Example: http://10.5.101.39/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi

Door Opening feature (optional)

During conversation with the Turbine Video Station TCIV the integrated relay of the station can be operated by pressing a digit (default: digit 6) on the phone. As the phone by default is using DTMF signaling by RFC 2833, and this is supported by the Turbine range of stations, no further settings are required in the phone.

If the phone should operate the relay in other types of IP Substations (non-Turbine), the phone must be set to signal DTMF by SIP INFO.

• Click on Account 1 > Codec Settings, and check DTMF via "SIP INFO":
