The MOBOTIX IOT camera can establish an audio or audio/video sip connection with any SIP client.

This article describes the connection between the SIP client Linphone and a MOBOTIX Q25 that establishes the connection between the two devices based on a direct IP call (direct SIP call) in a local network without using SIP servers, SIP accounts or SIP registrars.

**SIP Client used:**  
[https://new.linphone.org/technical-corner/linphone?qt-technical\_corner=2#qt-technical\_corner](https://new.linphone.org/technical-corner/linphone?qt-technical_corner=2#qt-technical_corner)

In the case described, the macOS variant was used.

A MOBOTIX Q25 was used as the SIB remote station.

**The basic requirement for this setup is:**

- Camera has activated Sip Client  

- Camera has Micro and Loudspeaker activated

- Camera and PC are in the same subnet

- PC has Linphone installed

- IPv6 is deactivated in the Linphone settings.

In my case the **camera had the IP 192.168.1.149** and the **PC 192.168.1.18** with the subnet mask 255.255.255.0.

1. Install Linphone

1. Restart Linphone if necessary

2. Check if the address in the upper left corner contains the local PC address (the additional information like “jst” has been taken over from the Mac user).

The MOBOTIX camera logs each incoming call in the Sip Client Message , Call , Status  
“ip/admin/voipmessages?calls&back=voipconfig”
