2. How to set IoT

(1) Device Setting

Step 1: After logging into the web, go to “IoT“→ “Settings“→ “Radios Settings“. Check the checkbox “Enable IoT” and IoT function will be enabled automatically without clicking the save button.

Please refer to the meaning of the options as follows：


Step 2: Configure Radios Settings.

Currently our IoT camera supports three IoT frequency bands of 915M (The corresponding channel plan is US915/AU915/KR920/AS923/AS923-2), 868M (The corresponding channel plan is IN865/EU868/RU864) and 470M (The corresponding channel plan is CN470). Before buying the camera, you need to contact our sales to choose the frequency band that is supported in your country.

For example, here I choose the IoT camera with the frequency bands of 915M or reference document regional parameters for LoRaWAN, and it will show that the current channel plan is US915 on the camera’s web. 

Note: Usually you can directly use the default settings without configuring Radio Settings. If you need to customize some radio settings, you can make further settings as shown below.

Please refer to the meaning of the options as follows：

[Lora Channel Settings]

Please refer to the meaning of the options as follows：

[FSK Channel Settings]

Please refer to the meaning of the options as follows：

Note:

The configurations here should be the same with those in End Device.


Step 3: Configure Profiles Settings.

Usually you can use the default settings without configuring Profiles Settings. If you need to customize some profiles settings, you can click the Profiles Settings button to make further settings and click Apply button, it will list the Device-profiles you created. 

Please refer to the meaning of the options as follows： 


Step 4: Add and manage End Devices.

The camera web interface when select OTAA as Join Type of Device Profile

The camera web interface when select ABP as Join Type of Device Profile


Please refer to the meaning of the options as follows：

Note:

① Device Name and Device EUI cannot be repeated.

② Device EUI, Application Key, Device Address, Network Session Key and Application Session Key should be consistent with the configuration of End Device.

③ Uplink Frame-counter and Downlink Frame-counter can be reset only in ABP mode.


Step 5: Sensor Settings. You can enter sensor configuration page by clicking . After the configuration is finished, you can click to save your configuration or click  to cancel your configuration.

 

Please refer to the meaning of the options as follows：

Note:

①The channel ID and Sign should be consistent with those in End Device.

②Decimal Point Forward is set according to the properties of the sensor. For example, you need to set this value to 1 to get the correct temperature when using the Milesight temperature sensor.


Step 6: You can clickto modify the configuration in Device Management.


Step 7: You can clickto delete the device you added.

Note:

①About how to add IOT sensor, here we share videos for you:

②The sensor models that support IOT are as follows:

  • AM107
  • AM104
  • AM307
  • AM319
  • EM300-TH
  • EM300-MCS
  • EM300-SLD
  • EM300-ZLD
  • EM500-Co2
  • EM500-SMTC

  •       EM500-SWL

(2) Alarm Setting


Step 1: Select the alarm rule that you want to set and you can configure four kinds of rules.

Step 2: Check the checkbox to enable Alarm Rules. 

Step 3: Click to select the sensor to alarm.

Step 4: Set threshold for the selected sensor. 

When the data reaches the critical value, the alarms will be triggered. Both upper and lower thresholds are configurable. You can also only configure upper or lower threshold.

3. How to Configure 5G Camera

Step 1: Insert the SIM card into the SIM card slot at the bottom of the camera, as shown below:

Here is video about how to insert the SIM card:

Note:

① It supports Nano SIM for SIM card slot.

② For 5G camera, the SD card slot is inside the camera, as shown below:

Step 2: After logging into the web, go to “Network“→ “Basic“→ “Cellular“, you can check the cellular status and set the cellular settings here, as shown below.

Note:

①If you use the 5G camera for the first time, it is necessary to connect the camera through the network port to access the webpage of the camera for basic configuration.

② If the SIM Card Status shows "No SIM Card," this is generally because the camera is unable to detect the SIM card. It is recommended to reinsert the SIM card until it displays "connected" or "invalid" to indicate successful insertion.


Step3: Fill in the information provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to Cellular Settings interface, then click Save to access the network successfully.

Please refer to the meaning of the options as follows：

Note:

①For some Internet Service Provider, users only need to insert the SIM card directly to 

access the 5G network without additional configuration.

②As long as the SIM card is inserted and cellular is enabled, it will consume the data of the SIM card. If there is live video streaming, it will consume more data.


Step4: After connecting to the network successfully, you can check the cellular status 

information on Cellular Status interface, as shown below.

Please refer to the meaning of the options as follows：

Step 5: Set the schedule, the 5G network will take effect according to the schedule you set.

Step 6: After configuring the cellular settings, you also need to complete other basic configurations of the camera if needed, such as events, recordings, etc.

Step 7: After completing the basic settings of the camera, you can access the camera using 5G network without connecting the network cable. 

Note:

· You can connect and configure the 5G camera to Milesight CMS via P2P. 

· You can use 5G network to connect the 5G camera to Milesight VMS Enterprise, Milesight 

CMS and M-sight Pro APP via P2P. 

4. Compatibility between 5G AIoT Camera and Milesight Back-end
