Cameras

The station can show video image from all Vingtor-Stentofon Video Door Stations:

• IP Video Door Station - 1401110100
• IP Video Door Station - 1401110200
• TCIV-2
• TCIV-3
• TCIV-6

The video is streamed in MJPEG format directly from the camera to the stations LCD screen. The AlphaCom server is not involved in the video stream. The cameras must have a static IP address.

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

To access the camera allocation table, select Cameras from the main menu. Up to 80 cameras can be configured in this table.

Camera settings

Passcode

By using the menus on the LCD touchscreen, it is possible to view a camera image from idle, without any calls being active. The Passcode is an up to 10 digit long numeric code for restricting the access to the camera image. If Passcode is required or not, is a setting per camera in the Camera Allocation table.

Camera Types

There are two predefined Camera Types, Baudisch and Axis. In addition there are 3 empty fields in which one can define additional camera types and their URL.

• Camera type Baudisch is used for IP Video Intercom with CP-CAM, model 140 1110 100.
• Camera type Axis is used for IP Video Intercom with Axis camera, model 140 1110 200.
• When using Turbine with Video, TCIV-x, model 100 8115 0x0, you must define your own Camera Type:
  • For TCIV with firmware 4.2.3.7 and newer, enter the URL:

:8090/mjpg/video.mjpg

Port number 8090 is the default port used for video in the TCIV station, but it is configurable from the web page of the TCIV station.

The IP address of the camera is the same as the IP address of the TCIV station.

Defining the camera type TCIV
