# Contacts Configuration

The local contact information is used to initiate SIP or IP calls to other intercom devices. You can group the contact information to facilitate group calls. Moreover, you can add the camera URL of the target device, allowing users to view its live stream during a call or a call preview.

## On the Device

You can add, edit, and delete contacts on the device's **Contacts> Local Contacts** screen directly.

### Add Local Contact

Tap the **Add** icon to add a contact.
