T24S System Manual: The Hemispheric IP Video Door Station MOBOTIX T24 – THE HEMISPHERIC IP VIDEO DOOR STATION Why Choose A Digital IP Video Door Station? Door stations with integrated video cameras have been on the market for years. In most cases, they are based on analog TV technology that is over 60 years old and, because of the system involved, can only provide relatively modest image and sound quality.

T24S System Manual: Connecting The Door Station And Modules Finishing The Installation Before placing the camera module in the frame, we recommend first connecting the camera directly to the switch/router to carry out the automatic initial configuration (see chapter 3, Operating the Door Station).
T24S System Manual: Connecting The Door Station And Modules Replacing The MicroSD Card The camera module is factory-fi tted with a ready-to-use 4 GB MicroSD card. However, the system also supports other MicroSD cards with up to 32 GB storage capacity. To remove, insert or replace a MicroSD card, separate fi rst the camera module from the door station.
If you are using IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet network components to supply power to MOBOTIX cameras, make sure, if possible, that these components do not have a fan. Since the power consumption of MOBOTIX cameras is very low compared to other products, the reliability of the entire system is increased, thus extending the life of these components.

Fundamental factors are whether: • you want to use one or several T24S units, • you want to integrate the T24S into an existing network or not, • the existing network has a DHCP server or not.
• Each Grandstream telephone displays its newly assigned IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.20) and SIP quick-dial number (e.g. MX_SIP *101) on the display. • *101 is the new SIP quick-dial number for the fi rst IP telephone, while the T24S has the *201 SIP quick-dial number.

When you start MxEasy for the first time on a computer, the MxEasy Assistant automati- cally begins to search for MOBOTIX cameras, and displays all cameras found in a list. The camera list will be updated automatically as soon as new MOBOTIX cameras are connected to, or removed from the network.
Page 49
Network confi guration for MxEasy Assistant will only be carried out if one of the selected cameras displays the status "Invalid network". This status always occurs if more than one T24S must be integrated in a network without a DHCP server, for example. If the control PC obtains its IP address automati- cally from a DHCP server (e.g.

T24S System Manual: Operating The Door Station 3.2.4 Module Configuration (Optional) The T24S camera module can be combined with a range of Siedle Vario modules, as described in Chapter 1. These modules can be used to trigger various actions, for example, unlocking the door or switching an external light.

(VoIP to telephone, TCP to PC) or for which a change in the status is triggered (a T24S connected external light is on/off , a T24S connected door is open/closed locked). The SIP quick-dial number of the con- cerned Grandstream telephone is also shown in the table.
3.3.1 DHCP Server Present On The Network If there is an existing DHCP server in the network, this is used by the T24S. The opera- tion of the T24S and its remote stations is carried out using the initial automatic default confi guration, similiar to a T24S in a separate network.
Step 1: Connect The T24S And Remote Stations To The LAN And To The Power Supply Connect the T24S, the IP videophone and a PC, if it has not already been done, with the router/switch in the network. Ensure that the T24S has a PoE power supply. If the switch or router does not feature PoE, use the MOBOTIX NPA-PoE Set to supply the T24S with power.

T24S. In this case, proceed directly to Step 4. When the MOBOTIX T24S and the Grandstream telephone are brought into service via a PC, the network parameters of the PC must be set in the IP address range 10.x.x.x, from 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.254 with the subnet mask 255.0.0.0.

GS 2 (*102) PC (optional) If you would like to connect more than one T24S unit to a number of remote stations (IP videophone, PC with MxEasy) in a separate network without connecting to an existing DSL router or similar device, set up and use of the IP video door station. This can be carried out without a PC so long as the videophones will only be used as remote stations and the T24S factory settings can be used with the Siedle modules.
SIP quick-dial number *201. In order to establish a connection to another T24S (*202, *203, *204 etc.), you must enter the SIP quick-dial number of the client T24S using the telephone keypad and press the send key (green phone) before picking up the receiver.
FRITZ!Box, for example, generally also serve as a DHCP server. 3.5.1 DHCP Server Present On The Network If a DHCP server exists in the network, the T24S units will utilize this network for opera- tion. An individual T24S unit and its modules are confi gured using the automatic initial default confi guration within its own network, similar to the confi guration of multiple T24S units in their own network.
Connect the T24S, the IP videophone and a PC, if not already done, with the router/switch in the network. Ensure that the T24S units have a PoE power supply. If the switch or router does not feature PoE, use MOBOTIX NPA-PoE Sets to supply the T24S units with power.

T24S System Manual: Operating The Door Station Step 5: Select The Master T24S After you have assigned a static IP address to each T24S (see Section 3.2.2), you must designate one T24S as the master T24S - meaning one T24S serves as the main entrance.

Step 7: Set Up Door Bell Behavior Using MxEasy – For Each Individual T24S To now add all other T24S door cameras to the system, select the menu item Camera > Add Cameras in the MxEasy menu bar at the top of the screen, select all remaining door cameras, and run through the remaining Assistant dialogs, including configuration of the bell behavior, as described under Section 3.2.2.
If you have integrated multiple T24S modules in the network, you can reach the master T24S (*201) by picking up the receiver. If you want to call a different T24S or IP telephone, you must first establish the connection. To do this, you must know the SIP quick-dial...

Electrical surges can be induced by other electrical appliances, improper wiring or also externally (for example, lightning strikes to phone or power lines). MOBOTIX cameras are protected against the effects of small electrical surges by numerous measures. These measures, however, cannot prevent the camera from being damaged when stronger electrical surges occur.
