Hi folks,

Can some one recommend a good video phone for asterisk (SIP.IAX2). I need
better quality, duarability. and should support various video codec's
.(Codec auto negotiation support id prefferble)

thanks in advance,
Tharanga

I suspect that the choices are so limited right now that "good" or "bad"
is going to be very subjective. Grandstream GXP3000's appear to work from
what I've heard others say, as does X-Lite (eyebeam?) softphone, Ekega
(softphone) and ATL video phones...

Then theres Polycoms with an extra zero aded to the price...

Some people have reported good results with the BT Videophone 1000 units
too.. (avalable for <£60 a pair, but they need to have the early s/w
release on them)

I'm just about to order up a paid of Grandstreams for a project...

(Hm. Can I trunk video over IAX?)

That's even uglier than the Grandstream ;-)

And why does it remind me of the microsoft un-natural keyboard... ???

But if it works at a consumer price ...

Are the BT Videophones full featured SIP phones, or do they have to be
"cracked" to work with asterisk?

Do you have some more info about these phones?

Thank you, Artem

And he can use Vidoe with SIP?

As I know that SIP still does not support video.

Of course *SIP* supports video. :-)
It's *Asterisk* which mainly supports voice.
