[cisco-voip] 7937, CUPC and VT advantage camera

[Ryan Ratliff]

Note that the daisy-chain requirement is for the CUVA software, not the camera.  CUPC in softphone mode can use the camera natively and since the phone application is on the PC there is no requirement for it to be connected to an IP phone (just like CUVA with CIPC).

You don't use CUVA with CUPC at all.  They are two completely different applications that can both happen to do video.

Hi Ryan,
Thanks fro your reply.

I need to have a video enabled at both ends so just to rely on CUPC softphone with Video, is there a way to stream local video to remote without daisy chain setup? Since VT Advantage camera requires daisy chain setup, is there a way to use other video camera product integrated with CUPC softphone to make this two-way video call work?

thank you,
Robin

Even if this does work it obviously wouldn't be TAC supported and I'd be surprised if a 7937 even has the option in CCMAdmin to enable video (required for CUVA).

I heard somewhere that VT Advantage camera MUST be installed on PC which is daisy chained to the ip phone. Is this correct?
