Description
Mobile Remote Station For MOBOTIX IP Video Door Stations And IP Cameras
Owners of MOBOTIX IP Video Door Stations and MOBOTIX IP Cameras can now use this app on their iPad, iPad mini, iPad Pro, iPhone or iPod touch. The user interface of the App automatically adjusts to the screen size of the terminal device. The network connection is established via WiFi in a building or via 3G/4G while on the road - safely encrypted without the need for any other special devices.
Even if you don't have a MOBOTIX device yet (e.g., Door Station, camera), you can test the app using demo videos!
The app uses MOBOTIX's unique video system, which offers many advantages in addition to supplying a 180-degree image of the entire scene in front of the door (Hemispheric technology). What happened today while I was gone? Who rang the doorbell, and when? When and where did the video motion detection of my camera trigger? The app provides easy access to the event recordings of all connected cameras.
The app informs you automatically when someone rings the doorbell. You can open the door for the family, even though you're still stuck in traffic. Delivery men can use the intercom to ask you if they can leave their parcels with the neighbors. And if you're sitting in the backyard, just take your iPhone or iPad.
Much more Flexibility
Besides people ringing the doorbell, the app also informs you of other alarm signals (e.g., from the integrated video motion detection of a MOBOTIX camera).

Notes
Connections in wireless networks (WiFi, 3G/4G) will not have the same quality everywhere and may even fail completely. Therefore it is not guaranteed that all events such as ringing will be transmitted in time. A er connection failure the MOBOTIX App tries to re-establish the connection automatically. However, with newer versions of the iOS operating system, the activities of apps have generally been restricted in the so-called background mode so that a signal notification cannot be guaranteed even under ideal network conditions. Therefore, MOBOTIX AG recommends in general the use of a wired counter station such as the MxDisplay +. Please refer to the MOBOTIX website for more information about this app. Please note that for older MOBOTIX IP cameras (Q22/D22/M22/D12/M12) only live image display with limited intercom (one way audio, push to talk) is supported.

Ratings and Reviews
Total rubbish
If I could give this zero stars I would. We waited years for this and it looks like its been designed by a committee who have no idea about interfaces or usability. I don't know how Apple let this on the store because it doesn't look like an Apple app or follow normal conventions. Take a look at how you change brightness/contrast etc. Modals buttons.. Yuk. Half of them say 'not working yet'. I expected Mobotix to pull something special off considering how long they have been sandbagging and this is it? Oh dear Mobotix. I love your cameras and have quite a few but this 'app' is an embarrassment. There are cheap third party ones (even with MxPeg support) that are light years better than this 'thing'. You sandbagged over the T24, analytics and now this. Not a good sign. There was a time when your cameras were the market leader but the competition hasn't just caught up; they are leaving you for dust. Why not just beef up the CPU on your cameras and actually make decent frame rates? Anyone with a '24 knows you can't get what is claimed unless you drop the quality significantly. And the 3mp isn't any 'better' than 'mega'.... You need to get your act together because your loyal customers, like me, have other options these days and looking at switching.
Very Poor
Horrific user interface design with poor choice of icons, poor workflow design & buggy & unreliable software. Design team, please revisit the use-cases. Customer adds door station and how to simply configure notifications.
What the app does well is allow viewing of Mobotix cameras. I have 4. That all works fine (if a little awkwardly).
What the app does extremely poorly is (for example) integrate with a T25 Door Station. The T25 itself is a nightmare to set up (I'm a professional software developer with two degrees & 30 years experience). The T25 internal web browser config is highly unintuitive (why does my iPhone show up automatically as an event stream (why is there no "search for new devices" button?). How do I manually configure an event stream device? Do I need to? I can only see how to add an iPhone manually as an "IP Notify" device).
The T25 shows up in the app, but sometimes I get a notification that I've pressed the door bell and sometimes I don't (that happens in both MXEasy & the iPhone app).
I'm still trying to figure out why the iPhone only vibrates, and doesn't ring (yes I've checked the ringer volume and mute switch)...
Highly frustrating. More work required.
Awful
This is an awful application, badly designed with a total disregard for Apple UI guidelines.
It hangs every time at startup requiring deletion of the connection detail and then restarting.
Mobotix totally ignores support emails ( nothing new here ) and their forum is useless and not used by any Mobotix support staff. I can find no one interested in helping users with this app. Use QuickCam Pro rather than this rubbish.
Mobotix, you need to start listening to and supporting your customers ... your technical lead has gone and so will your customers unless you pay them some courtesy and attention.
