E12W SIP Video Intercom and RFID
User Guide
Doorbell Configuration
1.1 Logging into the web-interface
Open a browser-window on your computer and enter the IP address of the
doorbell in your URL-bar. Hold down the button on the doorbell for a few
seconds, after which it will recite the IP address to you.
Now log into the doorbell’s web-interface using the default credentials.
| Username | admin |
|---|---|
| Password | admin |
After you’ve successfully logged in for the first time, you will be asked to
change the admin password.
We recommend doing this immediately.
1.2 Changing the default credentials
The doorbell has separate passwords for the different services that it uses,
as such it is required to change the default credentials for each of these
categories.
First, change the credentials for the ONVIF category, you may find this
setting under Surveillance and then ONVIF.
Do the same for the password of the RTSP-stream, found under Surveillance and
then RTSP.
Finally, change the password for the HTTP API of the doorbell under Security
and then HTTP API.
1.3 Configuring the intercom
In order to make sure the intercom function works correctly, we have to
configure its settings. Navigate to Intercom and then Basic.
Make sure Call Type is set to Group Call and then enter 0.0.0.0 into the top-
left most input field under Group Call Numbers (Local).
If you use an indoor intercom unit such as the Aquox C313X, please enter the
IP address of the intercom(s) instead. You should enter additional IP
addresses in the order as displayed in the example below.
Nx Witness Configuration
2.1 Adding the doorbell to the system
Open the Nx Witness Desktop Client and right-click on a server, then click on
Add Device…
Now either scan a subnet or enter the IP address of the doorbell, then enter
the login credentials, then add the device once you’ve found it.
2.2 Creating a new user for the doorbell
In the Nx Witness Desktop Client, go to System Administration (CTRL + ALT +
A), then go to the tab Users.
Click on New User… and create a local user for the doorbell.
Give it a custom role and then make sure it only has access to the doorbell
under Cameras & Resources.
Finally, make sure Digest Authentication is enabled for this user.
2.3 Enabling audio for the doorbell in Nx Witness
In the Nx Witness Desktop Client, right-click the doorbell in the overview and
go to Camera Settings… Here, make sure that Enable audio and Enable 2-way
audio are checked.
2.4 Creating an event rule for the push button on the doorbell
Right-click the doorbell in the overview and click on Camera Rules…, then
click on Add to add a new event rule. Here you’ll select Generic Event under
Event > When. Under Caption contains, you may enter anything you’d like to
filter on, though this will be important for future steps. In this example, we
will be filtering on the caption “akuvox” and sending a mobile notification to
a group of users.
Now go to the web-interface of the doorbell and go to Intercom > Basic.
Under Push Button Notification, check the box that reads HTTP under Action To
Execute.
In the field labelled HTTP URL you will need to enter the URL for the API
call.
The URL will need to be populated with specific information, as follows:
https://
For example
https://doorbell:password123@192.168.1.100:7001/api/createEvent?caption=akuvox
Once you’ve entered the URL, click on Submit to save the changes.
Now when you press the button on the doorbell, a mobile notification would be
sent to the selected group of users.
Using the doorbell in combination with the Akuvox C313X
If the steps under chapter 1.3 were correctly followed, and the doorbell is available in the same network, it should be picked up automatically and you can start using both immediately.
