Modero X camera stream not playing

We have an MXT-700 and MXT-701 right now, and I want to try making video calls between them.

I noticed that sending the command '?CAM' returns 'CAM-0,1' which according to the manual means that the camera is not supported and enabled. I don't think I was shipped with the wrong camera installed, but I may have to try other firmwares for this.

On the MXT-701, entering 'cam://local' on the camera settings streaming video URL results Can't play this video. Am I doing something wrong? Is there something that has to be done prior doing this? Is there a simple program somewhere to demonstrate this feature?

    Yan,
    Generally you need to start the stream between the two devices. See PDF pages 119-120 here in the panel programming guide:
    http://www.amx.com//assets/manuals/Modero.G4.Configuration.Programming.Guide.pdf
    Examples:
Flip to the videocom page w/ 2 video fill windows:
// Window 1:5 is 160x120
// Window 1:6 is 640x480
SEND_COMMAND 10001, 'PAGE-Videocom'
SEND_COMMAND 10002, 'PAGE-Videocom'
Enable the local camera preview:
SEND_COMMAND 10001, '^SDM-5,0,cam://local'
SEND_COMMAND 10002, '^SDM-5,0,cam://local'
Prepare for the remote feed:
SEND_COMMAND 10001, '^SDM-6,0,rtp://0.0.0.0:9000'
SEND_COMMAND 10002, '^SDM-6,0,rtp://0.0.0.0:9000'
Set up intercom between the 2 panels:
SEND_COMMAND 10001, '^ICS-10.0.0.2,8000,8002,2'
SEND_COMMAND 10002, '^ICS-10.0.0.1,8002,8000,2'
Actually start sending video traffic to each other:
SEND_COMMAND 10001, '^VCS-10.0.0.2:9000'
SEND_COMMAND 10002, '^VCS-10.0.0.1:9000'
Actually start sending audio traffic to each other:
SEND_COMMAND 10001, '^ICM-talk'
SEND_COMMAND 10002, '^ICM-talk'
Say goodbye, shutdown all inter-panel traffic:
SEND_COMMAND 10001, '^ICE'
SEND_COMMAND 10001, '^VCE'
SEND_COMMAND 10002, '^ICE'
SEND_COMMAND 10002, '^VCE'
Broadcast to many panels from Panel 10001:
SEND_COMMAND 10001, 'PAGE-Videocom'
Enable the local camera preview
SEND_COMMAND 10001, '^SDM-5,0,cam://local'
Optionally prepare the local panel to see the remote feed:
SEND_COMMAND 10001, '^SDM-6,0,rtp://239.250.255.251:9000'
Add in all the participating panels
SEND_COMMAND xxxxx, '^SDM-6,0,rtp://239.250.255.251:9000'
Set up broadcast intercom w/ ICS, ICM if desired:
// end call
SEND_COMMAND 10001, '^ICE'
SEND_COMMAND 10001, '^VCE'

    Thank you Chris, but I think I should be able to see the camera stream from the panel setup page of both the G4 and G5 panels. I tried sending the command ?CAM to the G4 panel and got this
    Line      1 (09:24:02):: Command To [10003:1:3]-[?CAM]
Line      2 (09:24:02):: String From [10003:1:3]-[CAM-0,1]

    which means that my camera is not supported, but enabled.

    One other thing, I noticed that videocom is not supported on the G5 panels yet. Will it be supported?
