As the first step search driver 2N IP Intercom in the right column in the Composer software and add to the project by double clicking on the driver. There are two of them, one is receiving RTP stream via H264 and second one via MJPEG. Both of this drivers can handle the video stream from 2N IP Intercom with camera. Change the hostname/IP address field according to your 2N IP Intercom configuration and set Authentication parameters (picture below). Every row needs to be confirmed by clicking on the Set button.
The Camera from 2N IP Intercomcan be connected only via unsecured connection , without authentication. For this option we must go to section Services / HTTP API and set Camera API: Connection type to Unsecure and authentication to None. This configuration of HTTP API we will need also for door opening (output activation). Set the same values as for the camera API to I/O API according to picture below.
Add 2N IP Intercom driver to the project same way as previously the camera driver. Insert Username/Password that will be used for connecting SIP account on the 2N IP Intercom. Allow the parameter Use Alternate Camera, small popup window will appear. Here you can choose particular camera from previous step to connecting camera the intercom module. Also allow at least one Custom button that will be use as the trigger for sending HTTP command to 2N IP Intercom. This button will be used for opening the door. Every value need to be confirm by a Set button. Now we have configured 2N DoorStation and Camera in the Composer project. After this settings is done upload this project to Controller (File / Refresh Navigators).The next step is to configure 2N IP Intercom. Open the configuration interface and go to section Services / Phone and configure the SIP account. Example of the setting is in the picture below.
- Phone number ID: 100
- Authentication ID: 100; password: 100 (based on Composer configuration)
- SIP proxy: IP address of the Control4 controller
- Allow SIP Registration with SIP proxy IP address
You need to add Door Lock driver for Door Opening in to your project.
Now we need to interconnect this Door Lock driver with some specific output of 2N IP Intercomin Connection section using Drag&Drop. Next step is to program specific button for Door opening. Go to the Programming section. Select particular intercom unit and then choose the option UI Button One Pressed. Now we need to select action according to previous event. In the right column select Door Lock driver and action Unlock the Door Lock. Last step to complete this task is to pull this action (in the right with the Green arrow) in to the middle section of programming screen. Now we need to define some action when the button is released. The procedure is same as in the previous step, except you will choose the action Lock the Door Lock. After this configuration you would be able to open the the door using button on the Control 4Used Symbols
