Auto-answer Allow List setting
Auto-answer can only be applicable to the SIP or IP numbers that are already added in the auto-answer allow list of your indoor monitor. Therefore, you are required to configure or edit the numbers in the allow list on the web interface.
Go to Security > Allowlist interface.
SIP/IP numbers can be imported to or exported out of the indoor monitor in batch on web Security > Allowlist > Allowlist Import/Export interface.
SIP/IP number files to be imported or exported must be in either .xml or .csv format.
SIP/IP numbers must be set up in the phone book of the indoor monitor before they can be valid for the auto-answer function.
Live Stream Setting
The Receive Live Stream function enables the indoor monitor to view the one-way video stream from the calling party, regardless of whether the call is audio or video. Meanwhile, the video feed from the indoor monitor is not transmitted to the calling device, protecting the privacy.
To do the configuration on the web Phone > Call Feature >Audio Call Settings interface.
When the feature is enabled, once a caller requires a video call:
- Receive the incoming calls in video call mode so that both sides can see each while talking in the two-way video conversation.
- Receive the incoming calls in audio call so that you can see the caller in the one-way video conversation while the call can not see you.
- Only devices with camera module have this feature.
Intercom Call Configuration
If you want to see the image at the door station before answering the incoming call, you can enable the intercom preview function on web Phone > Call Feature > Intercom interface.
Parameter Set-up:
- Intercom Preview: enable the incoming call preview function.
PTime Configuration
Ptime gives the length of time in milliseconds represented by the media in a packet. The SDP in the INVITE request sent by the calling party carries the Ptime attribute, which indicates that the packing duration of the calling party's media is the value carried by Ptime. After receiving the request message, the server replies with the Ptime attribute in the SDP in 200 OK, indicating that the server-side support for the packaging time of the media is the value carried by Ptime. The caller negotiates according to the Ptime attribute carried in the SDP in the 200 OK, and finally sends the media package time, that is, the Ptime value.
To set it up, go to Account > Advanced >Call.
Parameter Set-up:
- PTime: you can disable the PTime feature. Or set up it from 10 to 60 seconds.
SIP Hacking Protection
Internet phone eavesdropping is a network attack that allows unauthorized parties to intercept and access the content of the communication sessions between intercom users. This can expose sensitive and confidential information to the attackers. SIP hacking protection is a technique that secures SIP calls from being compromised on the Internet.
Parameters Set-up:
- Prevent SIP Hacking: enable activating this feature during using sip call. This feature is only available for SIP calls, not IP calls.
Emergency Call Setting
The Emergency Call function is designed for urgent situations, particularly beneficial for the elderly and children. Users can display the SOS button on the indoor monitor’s screen. When the button is pressed, the device automatically calls the designated emergency contacts, ensuring quick help when needed.

Multicast Configuration
The Multicast function allows one-to-many broadcasting for different purposes. For example, it enables the indoor monitor to announce messages from the kitchen to other rooms or to broadcast notifications from the management office to multiple locations. In these scenarios, indoor monitors can listen to or send audio broadcasts.
