Integration of Videx intercom with the Ilevia server

Introduction

Intercoms are communication devices designed for immediate two-party communication within specific areas. They typically consist of a master unit and multiple sub-units, and enable direct communication without the need for external networks. This guide explains how to integrate the Videx intercom (model 4534X, firmware V2.0.0) with the Ilevia server.

Intercom configuration

Step 1:

Connect to the web interface of the Videx intercom, then go to the Access control menu.

Step 2:

Click Add new to create a new user, add a Username, and finally click Save changes.

Step 3:

Go to the SIP Settings menu. Enter a User ID, an Auth Name, and a Password of your choice. Enter the Ilevia server IP address in the Domain and Server fields. Finally, click Save changes at the bottom of the screen.

Configuration in Ilevia Manager

Step 1:

Open the Ilevia Manager configuration software, open the SIP section in the component library, and add 2 SIP Client components.

Step 2:

Select one of the 2 SIP Client components and, in the menu on the right, enter the following in SIP address: <SIP-Address>@<Ilevia-server-IP-address>. Replace <SIP-Address> with the SIP address you set in the intercom web configuration and <Ilevia-server-IP-address> with the IP address of your X1 server. Finally, enter the password set in the intercom web configuration in SIP Password, and select in For users the user who will receive the calls.

Step 3:

Select the second SIP Client component and, in the menu on the right, enter the following in SIP address: <SIP-Address>@<Videx-intercom-IP-address>. Replace <SIP-Address> with the User ID you entered in Step 3 of the web configuration of the intercom and <Videx-intercom-IP-address> with the IP address of your Videx intercom. Finally, enter in SIP Password the password set in Step 3 of the web configuration.

Step 4:

Finally, upload the project to the server.

Additional settings

The Videx intercom allows you to add two commands that activate the onboard relays.

Step 5:

Add two Switch components to the Ilevia project and set Virtual as the gateway. Then select the SIP Client component that represents the intercom.

Step 6:

Connect the Switch components to the Relay parameter in the SIP Client component parameters.

Step 7:

Add a new IP camera component to the project, then enter the RTSP URL in the component parameters as follows.

rtsp://<User1>:<User1 password>@<Intercom IP address>/mpeg/media.amp

Replace <User1> with the name of a user موجود in the intercom web interface (e.g. admin), <User1 password> with that user’s actual password, and <Intercom IP address> with the intercom IP address on the local network.

Configuration in Ilevia Control

Step 8:

Open the Ilevia Control app and go to settings, select Video intercom and then go to Device. In this window, select your intercom by clicking it, then press OK.
