Doorbell Triggers Display Of IP Camera On VMS?
I have an Avigilon camera hooked up to ACC. I also have an Cyberdata IP doorphone. Is there a way to make it that when someone rings the doorbell, the view on one of the clients will automatically switch to that camera?
Does the Cyberdata IP Doorphone have a trigger output? If so connect that to a trigger input on a camera/encoder and write a rule to display that camera.
It doesn't have anything besides Ethernet and door strike relay at the box.
Of course a DIY solution would be just to solder two leads directly to the button in parallel and wire them to a camera or encoders dry contact inputs...
Does ACC have a way of using a UDP datagram as a trigger? Maybe its a patented part of their Helpful Doorbell Switching Mechanism or HDSM?
Unless something has changed, the relay on Cyberdata phones can be set to be DTMF activated, on during calls, or momentary when the button is pushed. The latter two would let you connect it to the I/O of the Avigilon camera.
This looks correct. From the datasheet:
Thank you. But if I am using the relay to open the door (via DTMF) is it also able to be used to trigger the camera?
You will need to have standard licensing or better to write a rule using Input trigger and you will have to use encoder to get the trigger to the Avigilon. I did this samething with a viking doorbox/camera
