Information on intercoms which are fully integrated with Wildix system: www.wildix.com/integrations.

User Guides on Integration with some Intercoms are available on Doorphone integrations.

Video streaming before answer

Supported devices: Collaboration/ Vision/ SuperVision/ WP600AXX/ Android mobile app.

Note, that iOS mobile app is not supported.


The functionality allows displaying an incoming video stream before answer on Collaboration/ Vision/ SuperVision/ WP600AXX/ Android mobile application.

To implement such behaviour, proceed with the following steps:

  • Go to WMS -> Dialplan -> Dialplan Rules
  • Select the Dialplan procedure used by the intercom and add a Custom application: 

Custom application -> SIPAddHeader(Camera:http://admin:admin@192.168.1.100/picture0.jpg)

where:

  • admin:admin – username and password, if needed (not all intercoms require authorization)
  • 192.168.1.100 – IP address of the intercom
  • /picture0.jpg – picture URL (only .*jpg format is supported at the moment)

More examples:

  • SIPAddHeader(Camera:http://www.testcam.local/camera/image.jpg)
  • SIPAddHeader(Camera:http://admin:admin1@10.100.4.44/snapshot/view0.jpg)
  • SIPAddHeader(Camera:http://admin:meinsm@10.100.4.113/record/current.jpg?sync=-99)
  • SIPAddHeader(Camera:https://admin:mypassword@10.100.4.111/api/camera/snapshot?width=1280&height=960&fps=15) (2N example)
  • SIPAddHeader(Camera:http://10.100.4.134/record/current.jpg) (Mobotix example)

Note: To check if a picture URL is correct, paste it in the address bar. For example: http://10.100.4.134/record/current.jpg


Note: This custom application can be used in two scenarios:

  • Call a doorphone and see the video stream 
  • See video stream from the doorphone before answer

In case you don’t know how to indicate the path correctly for your IP webcam / intercom, check this resource: LINK (mind that only HTTP connection and JPEG type are supported).


Note: Some intercoms may require additional configuration on their web interface. Check the online documentation for details: 2N Helios IP Integration, AphaTECH IP BOLD 65 Integration, Baudisch (Mod.33-1486) Integration, Mobotix T25 Integration.

Unlock button for door open function

Note: The functionality can be implemented only for Collaboration/ Vision/ SuperVision.

To be able to unlock doors from the call management window, you can add an unlock button.

  • Go to WMS -> Dialplan -> Dialplan Rules
  • Select the Dialplan procedure used by the intercom and add a new Custom application: 

Custom application -> SIPAddHeader(Unlock-Button:*1234#)

where:

  • *1234# is a DTMF code

How the button looks like:
