[Asterisk-video] IP Camera to Asterisk Interface

[Brandon Stanley]

I think the largest challenge is converting the JPEG/MPEG stream from the camera into an H.263 or H.264 format...  and wouldn't the camera need a SIP stack in order to negotiate the connection?    Of course CallManager is my platform of choice seeing as Im a cisco partner...  but I figured something like this would lend itslef more to and adaption to asterisk,  and then setup a trunk between asterisk and callmanager to allow the 7985 video phoens and other SCCP compliant video conferencing endpoiunts to "Dial" a camera connection....
 
 
 
Really what I'd like to do is get the manufacturer to build a sip client directly into the firmware of the camera and just register it like a phone...  but I think my chances are better,  and I wouldnt be locked to a particular vendor,  if middleware could be written to proxy register the cameras...

Hi,

 

More intuitive will be to have the IP info on sip peer for the video feed.

Cisco Call Manager has something like...

Brandon,

Would you necessarily need to dial up the camera?

 

What about 'dialing' a web page that had the video feed rather than a camera ip address?

Has anyone heard of a means to interface an IP video camera.. for example Axis or Sony, using some type of middleware so that you could dial an extension from a video phone and pull up one way video from the camera to the video phone?     Even better would be to start with software like Zoneminder and add an extension to register views within the recording program which could be registered with Asterisk and demand dialed form a video phone?    Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated...
