2N® LiftIP with an external IP camera (Revotech) - direct call to 2N® Lift8 Communicator

This FAQ describes how to setup direct call between 2N® LiftIP and 2N® Lift8 Communicator with a feed from a Revotech IP camera.

1) Connection to 2N® LiftIP

Connect to your 2N® LiftIP unit using 2N® LiftIP Service Tool which you can download - here

• It is necessary to use the 2N® LiftIP Service Tool, as VoIP parameters can't be set via the voice menu (incoming call to 2N® LiftIP)

You can connect directly by choosing TCP and filling in the correct IP address, Port and Password
If you don't know the IP address, please use the FAQ - How to get IP address of lift communicator 2N® LiftIP.
If you need to set Static IP address or DHCP please use this FAQ - Static IP address - How to set up static IP address on 2N® LiftIP

Press Connect:

2) How to set the alarm call destination

Go to Configuration - Parameters - Alarm Call -> and set following parameters:

011 =* IP address and SIP port of the 2N® Lift8 Communicator - in our example we use "192.168.50.115:5070"
018 =* Count of automatic dialling cycles for ALARM (011-016) * - when the destination doesn't pickup, it calls again depending on the count of cycles you set

111 =* Alarm call memory confirmation mode  - defines how the call is confirmed after pick-up
  x1x = Alarm button (1-6)
  xx1 = Type of confirmation 

• 1 = with DTMF confirmation (1)
• 2 = with pick-up confirmation (for GSM/UMTS/VoIP only) - no confirmation, just pick-up the handset
• 3 = CPC Antenna
• 4 = CPC Kone
• 5 = P100
• 6 = DTMF auto detection (CPC Antenna/P100)
• 7 = CPC Antenna 2N ext
• 8 = CPC Kone 2N ext
• 9 = P100 2N ext

You can find all parameters in the Programming Function Survey

3) How to set the video stream from the Revotech camera

Go to Configuration - Parameters - RTSP Settings -> Set the following parameters:

1120 = RTSP address of the Revotech camera in the LAN - in this example: rtsp://192.168.50.207:8554/live0.264 is used.
1121 = user name for the web interface of the camera
1122 = password for the web interface of the camera

Don't forget to click Save to device:

Other possibilities of the Revotech stream address:

rtsp://<ip>:8554/cam0/h264

rtsp://<ip>:8554/ch0_0.264

rtsp://<ip>:8554/live1.264

4) Setting of the Revotech camera

Better to set lower parameters of the video stream under the section Video Stream in the web interface of the Revotech camera - example:

5) Setting of the 2N® Lift8 Communicator

1) Run the 2N® Lift8 Server - see in the manual, please: https://wiki.2n.cz/l8um/latest/en/6-lift8-server

2) Run the 2N® Lift8 ControlPanel - see in the manual, please: https://wiki.2n.cz/l8um/latest/en/7-control-panel

3) Enable direct SIP calls in the 2N® Lift8 ControlPanel (and save it below):

4) Run the 2N® Lift8 Communicator - see in the manual, please: https://wiki.2n.cz/l8um/latest/en/8-communicator

    and as the SIP port put the same one as for the alarm call number in the 2N® LiftIP Service Tool - in our case - 5070:

Now the 2N® Lift8 Communicator is ready to answer the alarm call from the 2N® LiftIP together with the stream of the IP camera.
