For details, refer to [this guide](https://knowledge.akuvox.com/docs/register-a-third-party-sip-account-on-hypanel?highlight=Register%20a%20third-party%20SIP%20account%20on%20HyPanel). # ## Add Contacts Here we use HyPanel Pro with firmware version 71.1.39.316 as the example. ## ### 1. Cloud Contacts When HyPanel is connected to the akubela cloud, contacts are automatically synced. These include: - Public door phones - Door phones and HyPanels in the same home - Family administrator and members ## ### 2. Local Contacts #### Automatic Search - After initialization, HyPanel device automatically scans for door phones on the same LAN. Tap the detected device and confirm to add it. ![descript](https://cdn.document360.io/f09a6106-e976-455e-b2d0-3d88b5385960/Images/Documentation/64.-add-contacts-to-akubela-system1-image-g8so8pb3.png) - If you skipped the auto-search, go to **Settings > Advance Settings > Discovery Settings > Device Detection** to manually search.
