9.9.3 Video Telephony Example: Intercom System
The video telephony features allow using the MOBOTIX cameras as reasonably
priced video intercom systems, for example.
• When pressing the door bell, which is connected to the camera's signal
input, the MOBOTIX camera will trigger an event.
• Upon this event, the MOBOTIX camera will establish a video intercom
connection (using a phone profile) via network or Internet to a softphone that
runs on a computer, PDA or mobile (cell) phone.
• After the recipient of the videophone call has identified the person, he/she
can use the softphone keys to activate the door opener, which is connected
to the signal output of the camera.
Advantages of Using MOBOTIX Cameras as Intercom System
• Very cost-efficient.
• Low installation requirements.
• Low maintenance cost.
• Ethernet/CAT5 cables can be used (existing two-wire systems require con-
verters).
• Open standard (Ethernet protocol).
• Easy to set up.
• Flexible: The call can be sent simultaneously to several recipients or by auto-
matically forwarding the call if no one answers: 1) computer at the reception-
ist's desk, 2) mobile phone of the receptionist, 3) PDA of the security staff ...
• Independent of the location: Using the Internet, the connection can be estab-
lished to a softphone anywhere in the world.
