The Cloud offers a new function to better use the audio capability of the **MOBOTIX IoT cameras**. Previously, it was only possible to tap into the audio channel of the camera to ensure that the room could be monitored.  
Now, in addition to the existing audio function, there is a new communication option based on the **SIP standard**. This is arranged as usual under the Cloud Settings under the tab “Audio” and can be found as “ **2-Way Audio Settings** ”.

**With this function, the user can talk to the person in front of the camera.**

SIP is supported **by any MOBOTXI IoT camera** that supports audio together with ONVIF support, which can be added to the MOBOTIX Cloud. This includes the **P6 camera** family (e.g. M16,Q26, C26 AU, M26 ,T26 etc.) as well as the **P7 camera** family (e.g. M73 and S74).

**Precondition:**

- Microphone and loudspeaker are activated in the camera
- Sip Client is activated
- Camera already added to the Cloud
- Cloud Camera Settings the 2-Way Audio Setting is set to “2-Way Audio” (SIP Username and Password do **not need** to be set!)

(Sip Registrar or Sip Server are **not necessary** in this case)

The communication can be **activated or deactivated** after successful configuration **with the new microphone symbol**.

The **loudspeaker symbol above is not intended for intercom** and operates the “simple” audio (listening in to the room). When using 2 way audio, it is advisable to deactivate this “audio function”.
