[Video Calls]

With "hack" you mean that the phone was pulling each frame with two HTTP requests, going through the PBX? Apart from that we did fix a few things in the video area, that should actually improve the interoperability. We tested that essentially with the Grandstream video phones; but "in theory" this should also work with 2N.

 

Yes, with "hack" I mean the 2 HTTP requests.

 

I agree that you fixed things, thanks.

 

Can you please post a step-by-step or a clear explanation on how to show video on the 821 using the Vodia mini PBX?

Where do I set the URL?

 

Please be very detailed, as I'm not a super-expert - thanks.

It is easy to see that this was a dirty hack to get something working at all. The 870 now supports MJPEG, which is also a simple standard, but which does not put any load on the PBX. The phone can then fetch the images from the camera directly. This is definitively the way to go. You have to put the URL into the phone's settings, either directly on the phone or change the template for the phone on the PBX.

 

I have a 2N Video Intercom, and on 4.5 I was able to easily use that "dirty hack".

Now with 5.2.3 (Vodia mini PBX) of course it doesn't work.

I tried to enter the web settings of the phone (snom 821), but it looks like after auto-provisioning I can't access the web settings (hint: I installed several snomone pbxs, but I'm NOT a snom guru).

 

QUESTION: Where do I have to enter the URL of the "video" exactly?

Can you provide a step-by-step tutorial to make it work?
