Camera

2N Indoor View helps you configure up to 16 external cameras for video call streaming.

Note|/-/media/Images/Manuals/css/note.png Note

The 2N answering units receive standard external IP cameras supporting the RTSP streams meeting the following limits:

  • codec H.264 or MJPEG,

  • 1280x720 px resolution,

  • maximum framerate of 30 FPS for H.264 or 15 FPS for MJPEG. Higher frame rates may result in undesired effects (less smooth playing).

  • High profile with 5000 kbps bitrate if codec H.264 is used.

Camera enabled – enable RTSP stream download from an external IP camera. Complete the valid RTSP stream address or the username and password to make the function work properly.

Camera Assignment

Click plus icon in 2N OS to open the device list and select the devices to which a camera is to be assigned. In the call with the device to which the camera is assigned, it is possible to show the selected camera preview on the answering unit and switch it to previews of other assigned and allowed cameras.

Click cross icon in 2N OS to cancel all assignments of the selected camera.
