Akuvox - PBX VoIP - AK-S567 and Milesight which integrated with VoIP SIP cameras

Prerequisites

Before configuring the Milesight camera, ensure that the PBX service is already configured and running on the AK-S567.

Please refer to the PBX VoIP Function AK-S567 article to complete the PBX configuration on the AK-S567 monitor.

Step 1: Check an Available PBX Extension

The first step is to identify an available SIP extension on the AK-S567 PBX server.

1. Open the configuration page of the AK-S567 monitor.
2. Navigate to PBX.
3. Locate an extension that is not currently in use.
4. Note the following information:
   • SIP Extension Number (Username)
   • SIP Password
   • PBX Server IP Address
   • SIP Port Number

This information will be used to register the Milesight camera with the AK-S567 PBX server.

Step 2: Configure the Milesight SIP Camera

Once the PBX extension details have been obtained, configure the SIP settings on the Milesight camera.

1. Log in to the Milesight camera web interface.
2. Navigate to Settings → Network → Advanced → SIP.
3. Enter the SIP account information from the AK-S567 PBX:
   • Server Address: IP address of the AK-S567 monitor
   • Port: PBX SIP port configured on the AK-S567
   • Username: Available PBX extension number
   • Password: PBX extension password
4. Click Save to apply the configuration.

After saving the settings, verify that the camera successfully registers with the AK-S567 PBX server.

Step 3: Enable Audio (Optional)

To use two-way audio communication and listen to audio from the camera, audio must be enabled on the Milesight device.

1. Navigate to Settings → Media → Audio.
2. Enable the Audio option.
3. Select the desired audio mode and parameters according to your requirements.
4. Click Save to apply the settings.

Once audio has been enabled, users will be able to view live video and listen to audio from the camera through compatible SIP devices connected to the PBX.

Result

After the SIP registration is completed successfully, the Milesight camera becomes a SIP endpoint within the AK-S567 PBX system. The camera can (make and) receive SIP calls using its assigned extension, allowing audio communication between the camera and other registered PBX devices.
