SIP Intercom recommendations

 

The Grandstream GVX3500 for my front entrance intercom has decided to retire by itself. No amount of fiddling will change its mind.

I'm looking for a replacement recommendation.?

I have a doorbell button that I'd like to keep, and a composite video camera that I'm happy to replace.

I'm looking for a modern alternative with the following:
* Camera support. The GVX allowed me to connect a composite camera which provided enough resolution, but an external IP camera would be fine. I don't want a built-in camera.
* Digital I/O's for the doorbell and contact closure to a DIN-AP3 to trigger events in the program.
* Full duplex SIP to integrate into my FreePBX.

I don't want any keypads, in fact I don't want any form of 'box' outside. The GVX sat in a service hatch in my front porch out of sight. Only thing a visitor sees at my front door is the doorbell button and the camera if they look up.

Thanks

Controlling displays in a Just Add Power System

 

Good Morning All,
I'm programming a J.A.P. system with VBS-HDIP-508POE endpoints with RS232 connected to a display.? The Crestron Module I downloaded from their website for use with their AMP configuration software, has a module for video matrix switching but nothing for controlling the displays from the endpoints.? The documentation says, "For Endpoint Control or Feature Control, create a generic telnet driver, set the IP address to the Receiver or Transmitter you want to control, and follow the directions for the desired control feature".? That tells me to use the TPC/IP client module with the endpoint's IP address and port number, and connect my control module for control of the display.? Is that all?? Are there any settings in the endpoint's GUI for control of the display?


Re: CRESTRON CONSTRUCT first impressions

 

Yea the icons are quite lacking. Who the hell needs Emoji icons? They really should include icons that miror the Crestron Transports/AV/etc. We use them throughout or projects and I have found many I need missing.?


Re: CRESTRON CONSTRUCT first impressions

 

I remember a big todo being made about how many icons were included for buttons. I went looking and noticed there was no projector icon, I did how ever find a poo storm icon. That seems accurate.?

Re: SIMPL + Programming

 

I have the same error and I found the problem.

The error is in Simpl+ :
line 193, this is not If(Analog_Enable) but If(String_Enable)

Thanks for this module!

I think you were writing this to me John as I believe I have spoken to drew in the past about my module for Prowl integration.?

I do now have a Bond Bridge Pro.? I don't use it in my own home but the folks at Bond were nice enough to send it to me so I could test my modules and the additional work I was doing to support the use of their Sidekick keypads in a Crestron system.?

Thanks

Jay

Re: Epson Projector Crestron Connected

 

I had the same issue.? Just changed control to PJLink and moved on.? In my case there were 3 projectors for a curved golf sim and wanted to have the projectors controlled by the Tee light button from D3.? I push an archive of the projector control simpl


Re: CP3 Ethernet Issues

 

Had a similar issue.? In my case, my client would reboot the network to resolve and we wouldn't have any switch logs to review.? Once I got to it before he was able to reboot, the switch log showed that a WATTBOX connection kept going up and down and was flooding the network with traffic.? Once the flood started the WATCHDOG would shut down the ethernet port on my CP3.

The obvious choice is an iPad in a launch port case. The TST is ridiculously over priced if you ask me, in the UK at least, at more that triple an iPad solution.

I think Construct has the ability to replace VTPro in some use cases, mainly commercial with many important resi essential features still to come.

We have a project with several TSW-1070's and a single TST-1080.? We wanted to stick to smartgraphics for the time being, but the fact that the TST-1080 can only do HTML throws a big wrench at the whole thing.??
Are there any alternatives for a wireless touchpanel that can still do Smart Graphics?

I don't see Brian in the Groups.io member directory, or a LinkedIn profile when Googling "Brian Trujillo +TruAV."
But his personal Facebook profile can be found in the Crestron Professionals Group member list, if you choose to reach out directly that way..

Re: Shelly button press

 

Yes, configuring the I/O URL Actions are generally required on all Shelly devices for feedback to work properly in the modules.

Thanks

Re: DSC Neo Integration issues

 

We have worked with many different panels over the years, and the general findings vary greatly on functionality, particularly on the sector the alarm panel has been created/intended from (ie bank sector, large commercial, residential etc).? Our general go to panel in more recent years is the Elk, as Jay has mentioned though no real keypad access from Crestron.? I personally don't see this as a hurdle, as you can do most functions without it, and basically if a password is required that will need to be entered before hand. The communication protocol is available and quite extensive.? Just requires more effort to make a seamless system for the homeowner.

I am just in the middle of a job where the security company has changed the panel from a Concept to a Elk.? However the client still wants it to work the way the Concept worked ie multiple arming functions etc.? Part of the head hitting the wall to how people are resistant to change, requires delicate conversations and? preferably discussions upfront as to expectations on how it will work, and could be easier etc...We have managed to get it to work in the way they want, however utilised all the areas in the panels, and many rules, and function keys to achieve this.

There are a couple of caveats with the Elk though (and would love any input on this):
- if you had an alarm or something else, alarm will not respond correctly from the Crestron connection, need to enter the pin and hit disarm a couple of times before operating correctly from the Crestron again.
- i have had instability on TCP connections over the years, and have insisted on rs232 because of it.? This obviously hinders remote programming, 3rd party Elk apps etc. More recent firmware on the Elk has seemed to fix this.
- When programming ELK, Crestron is kicked out (using TCP) therefore need to do an update when it reconnects to TCP (should be a normal programming practice anyway)
- Biggest Issue i am facing is with 3 & 4 Series processors.? I have modified the original Crestron Application Market module code a bit (added in Threadsafe etc).? However the modules crash internally somehow, not sure if it is a crash or just some data getting missed etc.? you can still control the panel, ie arm disarm, control outputs, however all feedback stops working (ie status etc).? This is only happening on larger systems that i can see, and obviously a large amount of data coming into the processor is overwhelming it.? For the time being on the systems this has become a problem, I have utilised a 2 series processor (cp2e etc) to deal with all the data received from the alarm panel then sending the processed data on to the 3/4 series processor.? Any bench testing this issue in the office doesn't show the issue, and working through this with a client is incredibly difficult, as it will just stop working at any time, and the client doesn't realise.
