Telephony

Teams is getting more and more popular everyday. Microsoft includes it for free with their Office Suite and since a lot of organizations are heavily invested into using Microsoft products, people just start using it.

Unfortunatley, this is contributing to the centralization of the internet.

This post isn’t about that though.

This post is a written version of a video I made on making Asterisk a Teams Direct Routing SBC. You can check the video out by following this link.

Snom phones ☎️ can do a lot of things. One of those things is displaying a ‘video’ 📹 feed from an intercom or a surveillance camera. With video I mean a lot of pictures 📷📷📷 after eachother. For that to work, the pictures need to be a certain size.

I own a Snom D785 and a Unifi UVC-G3 camera and obviously I wanted both to work together. Unfortunatly the Snom expects a certain size of pictures. The Unifi only spits out 1080p snaphots through the default snapshot url http://$IP/snap.jpeg. Does that mean it can’t be done?

Here’s what I did about it.

Working at a VoIP provider comes with some great advantages. One of these is Mobile on PBX. This basically means I can route the calls from and to my mobile phone through my own PBX of choice. This works with a host at the provider we call a ‘mobreg’. This is the host that pretends to be a phone, and registers on my PBX.
