How to: 2N Video on Snom Screen

The 2N door intercoms have built in XML that allows you to stream the video feed from the camera directly onto the screen of a snom phone (760, 821, 870 models only).
This works by getting a static JPEG image and refreshing it frequently to make it appear as a video.

The URL you need to use is:

http://ip.addr.of.2n:80/enu/snom-video.xml

** Make sure to edit the URL so that it actually contains your 2N units IP address **

Now you need to browse to the web UI of your snom phone and add your 2N intercom to the directory. In the number field, enter the extension number of the 2N (the unit it presents as its Caller ID). Then in the Action URL field enter the URL shown above. Click the Add button to add the directory entry.

Now when you receive a call from your door intercom, the video stream will be shown on the display of your snom phone.

Please note, we recommend that you have the following firmware versions on each unit as a minimum:

Snom: 8.7.3.25
2N: 2.10

If you have any problems getting this to work, please email us at support@provu.co.uk.

Jingle Doorbells

Here in the sales office, we were very impressed by the technical office’s tree and thought we’d get into the festive spirit ourselves. By one-upping them!

Using a 2N Netspeaker we hooked up our doorbell so that whenever someone presses it, Jingle Bells plays! Along with a blue strobe light being activated.

This is, of course, far from the limit of what a NetSpeaker can do. If you want to know more about it, feel free to give our friendly (and very festive) sales team a call!

Merry Christmas from the ProVu sales team!

2n M2M – IoT (Internet of Trees)

Here in the ProVu technical office things are starting to get festive.

Our trusty old Christmas tree has gone up.

With so much in the news this year about the boom we are going to see in IoT & M2M, we thought we’d better smart-enable our Christmas tree to keep up with the times.

I’d been testing the 2n Smartcom Pro recently, so I used that:

This allows me to convert non-IP devices (and our old Christmas tree is definitely not an IP device) into IP-enabled devices I can access over my network.

To actually control the tree’s lights, I used a Zigbee power switch since the Smartcom Pro has a Zigbee interface (amongst others):

This set up allows me to use “AT” style commands over a telnet connection from any computer on our network to the Smartcom to turn the Christmas tree lights off and on. That works OK but is rather cumbersome so to finish this off I wrote a quick Python script which connects to the Smartcom and allows me to type in simple commands to control our tree.

Here is a short video of it in action:

What’s the point you might ask? Well there isn’t a great deal of point to this other than a bit of fun. However, one of the biggest causes of fires around Christmas time is tree lights being left on unattended (so I’m lead to believe) so ensuring these are automatically turned off when everyone has left the office is a good idea!

Cheers,
Paul.

2N NetSpeaker: Centrally Managed Audio Broadcasting System

2n speaker



The NetSpeaker from 2N is a cost effective IP audio solution and is ideal for food and retail chains with many locations. The system allows them to centrally store all their audio media, background music, Internet radio, adverts and safety notices plus do live announcements.They can then stream this content to any or all locations that can be set up in regional zones. The big incentive for these companies is that it massively reduces their costs for back ground music and radio etc as they only need to buy one stream as an input to the 2N system. They can also generate revenues by selling advertising to their suppliers which in some cases means the system will pay for it self within 12 months.

ProVu also stock the SIP Speaker from 2N, read more about it here
