Intercom Doorstation Fermax N-City – This is the driver which will communicate to the SIP Server

Fermax N-City H264 – This is the driver we will utilise if we want to view the doorstation camera

when not in intercom mode and to connect to the intercom driver for viewing in intercom mode.

5. Add any motorised devices you wish to control via the relays (door locks, doors, motorised gates, etc)

N-City doorstation and press Set.

8. Click on the Intercom driver on the left hand side

9. Check the box labelled ‘Use Alternative Camera’. Select the H264 camera we added in and press OK.

10. If you want you can add virtual buttons to the intercom screen. This is useful for opening door locks and

gates.

12. Enter in the IP Address and Port of the N-City. This is used to trigger the relays.

NOTE: The N-City will disconnect the video stream upon relay triggering. It is recommended that if you need

to trigger two relays to allow for entrance that you program both in the same button.

13. Click on Agents. Add in the communications agent if you haven’t already.

14. Create a new group. The name of the new group has to be numerical as the N-City can only dial numbers

15. Add in any touchscreens you want to call when the group is fired

16. If you have connected any devices to the N-City relays then bind them to the driver by clicking on

Connections and the Intercom driver.

17. If you want to program the virtual buttons click on programming and then Intercom. There will be events for

Button 1 & 2 Press and Release. This is useful for programming the relays we just added in.
