Videx video intercom

This guide explains how to integrate a Videx intercom with the ILEVIA server to receive calls in the ILEVIA Control app and control the intercom relays. It was written using model 4534X (firmware V2.0.0). For the overall logic, see Video intercom.

Intercom configuration

Step 1. Open the Videx intercom web page and go to Access control.

Step 2. Press Add new, enter a user name, and press Save changes.

Step 3. Open SIP Settings and enter User ID, Auth Name and Password as desired. In Domain and Server enter the ILEVIA server IP address, then press Save changes at the bottom of the page.

Configuration in ilevia Manager

Step 1. In the Components tab, open the SIP category in the Components Library and add two SIP Client components: one for the app (in the example Ilevia Control App) and one for the intercom (Entrance intercom).

Step 2. Select the SIP Client of the app and fill in:

• SIP address: <app SIP ID>@<ILEVIA server IP>;

• SIP password: the password set in the intercom web configuration;

• For users: the users that must receive the calls.

Step 3. Select the SIP Client of the intercom and fill in:

• Intercom model: Videx;

• SIP address: <User ID>@<Videx intercom IP>, using the User ID from step 3;

• SIP password: the password from step 3;

• IP Camera: the intercom camera (see below);

• Action 1 … 6 (optional): the scenarios to show as buttons during the call, for example gate opening.

Step 4. Upload the project to the server with Project > Upload to server.

All parameters are explained in SIP Client and SIP Group.

Intercom relays

With Intercom model Videx, the SIP Client also shows Relay 1, Relay 2, IP, Username and Password:

1. in IP, Username and Password enter the intercom address and the credentials for its web page;

2. add two Switch components to the project with Virtual gateway;

3. connect them to Relay 1 and Relay 2.

This lets you control the two intercom relays from the app, for example from the call actions.

Intercom camera (optional)

Add an IP Camera component (Surveillance / Security category) and enter the intercom RTSP address in Local URL and Remote URL:

rtsp://<user>:<password>@<intercom IP>/mpeg/media.amp

Replace <user> and <password> with a user from the intercom web page (e.g. admin) and <intercom IP> with its address on the local network. Then link the camera in the IP Camera field of the intercom SIP Client.

ILEVIA Control app configuration

Open the ILEVIA Control app, go to Settings, select Video intercom and then Device. Choose your intercom and press OK.

Test

Press the call button on the intercom. If the configuration is correct, when the app is open the call screen appears, where you can answer or reject it; when the app is closed, you receive a notification.
