You may watch recordings stored on the IP VCR using an H.323 or SIP video endpoint. There are a number of ways to
connect to the IP VCR; refer to the sections below for details of the options available to you:
• Connecting directly using a phone number
• Connecting via the auto attendant
• Being called by the IP VCR
Note that in the current release, HD recordings cannot be played back by an endpoint.
Watching recordings is an interactive experience. Playback may be paused, rewound and so on. Refer to the section
below for an explanation of the playback controls available:
• Using playback controls from a video endpoint
Connecting directly using a phone number
Your system administrator may have configured the IP VCR to allow you to use your video endpoint to watch a recording
by dialing a particular phone number. Each recording will have a different number to call. Consult your system
administrator for details.
If the recording is protected, you will be required to enter a PIN before you can start playback (see Entering a PIN ).
Connecting via the auto attendant
The IP VCR features a sophisticated auto attendant menu system that allows you to see a list of which recordings are
available, and select the one you wish to watch with the aid of video previews for unprotected recordings. Refer to Using
an auto attendant for full details on how to navigate the menu.
If you choose to watch a protected recording, you will be prompted to enter a PIN before you can start playback (see
Entering a PIN ).
Depending on how your system administrator has configured the IP VCR, you may be able to connect to the auto
attendant by dialing a phone number, or by dialing the IP address of the IP VCR. Consult your system administrator for
which options are available to you.
Being called by the IP VCR
As an alternative to calling the IP VCR from your video endpoint, you may instead use the web interface to initiate a call
from the IP VCR to your endpoint. Refer to the section Calling out from the IP VCR for details.
Once connected, the playback experience is identical to if you had called the IP VCR using one of the methods described
above. Similarly, you may be asked to enter a PIN before playback of protected recordings will start.
