Enabling Direct IP Call and H264 on the Fanvil i53W

Open the Fanvil web interface and log in.

Then go to Line > SIP > SIP Global Settings and disable Enable Strict UA Match (uncheck it), then press Apply.

Then, under Line > SIP > Video Codecs, select the H264 codec and confirm with Apply.

Under Line > Advanced Settings, Enable Preview should be enabled and Preview Mode set to Preview18x.

Enabling Early Media in ESENTA SIAS

Under SIP Telephony > Call Settings, enable Enable Early Media. Leave the hostname under Direct IP Calls set to auto and select UDP as the protocol.

Creating a Doorbell Button in ESENTA SIAS

In the ESENTA SIAS web interface, under Doorbell Nameplates, you can now create a doorbell nameplate with a call target in the form sip:[IP of Fanvil i53W]:

When the doorbell button is pressed on the ESENTA SIAS display, the i53W should now ring and show the video image.

Assigning a Video Key on the i53W

First, copy the H264 RTSP stream to the clipboard from the Camera > Streams subpage in the SIAS web interface:

If ESENTA SIAS and the Fanvil i53W are on different subnets, "Rtsp Client Work Mode" must be enabled on the Fanvil i53W.

To do so, open the System > Configurations page

  4. Press Apply to save the settings

Now, pressing the physical key button on the i53W will switch the corresponding relay, i.e. the door opener, via ESENTA SIAS.
