4.4.1 SIP
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a signaling communications protocol, widely used for
controlling multimedia communication sessions such asvoice and video calls over Internet
Protocol (IP) networks.
This page allows user to configure SIP related parameters.
Milesight cameras can be configured as SIP endpoint to call out when alarm trigged; or allow
permitted number to call in to check the video if the video IP phone is used.
To use this function, the settings in SIP page must be configured properly.
SIP can be achieved in two ways to get the video, the one is to dial the IP address directly, the
other one is account registration mode, the details are as follows:
Method 1: IP Direct mode
Dial on the camera’s IP address directly through SIP phone, so you can see the video (note: SIP
phone and the camera should in the same network segment)
Method2: Account registration mode
(1) Before using the SIP, you need to register an account for the camera from the SIP server;
(2) Register another user account for the SIP device from the same SIP server;
(3) Call the camera User ID from the SIP device, you will get the video on the SIP device.

The UPnP protocol allows devices to connect seamlessly and to simplify theimplementation of
networks in the home and corporate environments.
With the function enabled, you don’t need to configure the port mapping for eachport, and the
camera is connected to the Wide Area Network via the router.

4.4.4 PPPoE
This camera supports the PPPoE auto dial-up function.The camera gets a public IP address by ADSL
dial-up after the camera is connected to a modem.You need to configure the PPPoE parameters of
the network camera.
Steps:
Page 47

1. Enter the PPPoE setting interface:
Configure > Advanced Settings > PPPoE
Figure 4-21
2. Check the Enable PPPoE checkbox to enable this feature.
3. Enter User name,Password and Confirm password for PPPoE access.
Note:
1) The obtained IP address is dynamically assigned via PPPoE,so the IP address always changes
after rebooting the camera.To solve the inconvenience of thedynamic IP, you need to get a domain
name from the DDNS provider (E.g.DynDns.com).Refers to 4.4.3.
2) The user name and password should be assigned by your ISP.
4.4.5 VLAN
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) from the logical rather than physical, the entire LAN split into
several different broadcast domains, data can only be exchanged within a VLAN.
A slightly large scale network if there are only a broadcast domain, so constantly send broadcast
packets within the network, it is easy to cause the broadcast storm network overall bandwidth
consumption, and to give the network to bring extra burden to the host.After the division of VLAN,
the data will only be broadcast in own VLAN, so you can control the broadcast storm, also can
enhance network security, simplified network management.
Routers provide the VLAN function based on port,the number of the router LAN can logically
divided into multiple VLANs.
