You can call them by using a webcam or any other H.323-enabled video device. However, I did notice that when I called my VP-200 from my Ojo, the video quality on the VP-200 was quite bad while the video quality on the Ojo was good. This is probably because the VP-200 uses H.263 video codec (i.e, MPEG2) while Ojo uses H.264 (i.e., MPEG4). This means Ojo sends video data at half the rate as a VP200, which cannot decode MPEG4 data into MPEG2 data without compromising quality.
