Camera Remote Control via ISDN

 

If your camera is connected to the public telephone network via ISDN, you can call your camera from any telephone . Using the telephone keys, you then can control your camera remotely. The telephone must support tone (Dial Tone Multi-Frequency) dialing, sometimes also called touchtone dialing.

Note: This feature is not available for Basic cameras.

Configuring ISDN Audio Call-In

In order for the camera to answer ISDN audio calls, you need to configure this access in the ISDN Audio Call-In dialog first.

Enter the telephone number (MSN) in this dialog to which the camera will answer. In addition, you can select a message that the camera plays when answering a call.

Description of Parameters

Normally, three MSNs (Multiple Subscriber Number) are assigned to every ISDN network termination. By its factory default settings, the camera will answer to every MSN that is called on the ISDN S0 bus.

The camera software can assist you in finding and entering the MSN. Call your camera and reload this dialog or re-open it by clicking on this link: ISDN Audio Call-In. The last MSN called is displayed and you can copy it to the text box.

Store the Configuration

Click on the Set button to activate your settings and to save them until the camera is rebooted.

Click on the Close button to close the dialog. While closing the dialog, the system checks the entire configuration for changes. If changes are detected, you will be asked if you would like to store the entire configuration permanently.


Camera Remote Control

Once you have successfully called the camera, it switches to the audio mode set in this dialog. When you have selected "Listen", for example, you now can listen to what the camera microphone is recording.

Using the keys of a telephone that supports tone dialing, you can send the commands of the main menu to the camera:

  1. Select a feature by pressing any telephone key from 0 to 9. The camera repeats the number and tells you which command you have chosen.
