Asterisk system for video door intercom

Asterisk
1

Hi All,
We are trying to implement asterisk server for our video based door entry system. The system will have door entry panel on the resident entrance and video monitor inside the apartment of the residents.

The problem we got is we get the video stream once the call is answered. Before answering the call there is no video, where as in basic door entry system we should be able to see a person before the call is answered. We have this feature in 3CX, but we could not able to enable it in asterisk.

Please your suggestions and solution will be very helpful for us as this is going to be a big project.

You sometimes have to explicitly call Progress() to enable early media.

Hi David,
Thanks for your quick response, we appreciate it. We are using AsteriskNow, can you tell us where this method Progress() can be found? I am new to asterisk and trying to learn it.
Thanks in advance.

If you are using FreePBX, you will need to ask on http://community.freepbx.org/ We do not provide support for hacking their dialplans.

Well it is a bit weird to answer your own query
But in order to fix this issue instead of asterisknow I used asterisk.

plus I used directrtpsetup=yes
directmedia=yes
videosupport=yes
transport=udp
and it solved my problem
