[SIPForum-discussion] Is SIP important to IoT?

[Rodrigo Pimenta Carvalho]

Hi Paul.


Thank you very much for your comments!


In my case, for example, I'm participating in a project for a company that built products in surveillance area.

Its new product will be a kind of intercom that runs a SIP Proxy. Such intercom, when connected to Internet, will be able to communicate with smart phones of the residents of the respective house. The intercom will communicate with surveillance cameras placed in such house too. The communication with such cameras will use IP, but not SIP. The SIP is being used only between the intercom and the phones. I think this is an example of project that we have things connected to Internet and giving more security for people. So, could it be called a IoT project? Maybe yes. What do you think?


Regards.

I have not heard any discussion of this.

AFAIK IoT is a buzzword without any commonly understood definition, so
it is hard to answer such a question in general.

My *impression* is that most discussion of IoT talks about little *light
weight* devices. So it may be that sip is too heavy for those.

OTOH, on the surface, IoT could encompass any sort of thing that usually
operates without human interaction. That could include bigger stuff that
might not find sip a burden. If so, then the question is: what would SIP
be good for in that context? It is mostly about establishing media
sessions between devices. How might that apply for IoT class things?

The first that comes to my mind is surveillance cameras, for instance
for connection with loggers, etc.

        Thanks,
        Paul
