The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a signaling communications protocol, widely used for
controlling multimedia communication sessions such as voice 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)
