Thank you guys for all the help. Picking just one video-codec helped alot! I've read before about asterisk inability to negotiate/transcode the video-codecs, but it never occurred to me to remove all but one from configs.

How do I enable the video camera before making a SIP call in N810? The only thing which seems to work (at least most of the time) is just clicking the camera button real quick after clicking the Dial button. There's no button to enable the camera until you're making the call or are in the call that I can see.

Oh, didn't want to spawn an additional O/T thread, but any of you have used the standalone video-enabled SIP phones? There was one made by an Israeli (I think) company, it was around $200 for the ethernet version and $250 for the WiFi version and it looked real slick. Can't remember the name of the phone/company but if you've used one, you'll know what I'm talking about and I'd welcome some feedback.

thanks!
