5 NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS

There needs to be a wireless network connection between the video sources and the mobile device in order

to use the App as a remote station for your video sources (MOBOTIX camera or Door Station). This connection is

usually provided through a local wireless network but can additionally be accessed from anywhere in the world

via the Internet (remote access via UMTS, Wi-Fi access point, etc.).

You can establish a video intercom connection to your Door Stations and cameras, open the door and

access stored video messages and recordings over your local network or a remote Internet connection.

5.1 Local Wi-Fi Network

The most common method is to connect your MOBOTIX video sources to your local network’s wireless DSL

router (such as a FRITZ!Box) via a PoE injector or PoE switch. The App will establish the connection between the

mobile device and the individual video sources via the router. The App automatically detects all MOBOTIX

cameras and Door Stations connected to the local network at the press of a button. You only need the

internal access data (user name and password) of the camera to make a video source available in the App.

Note

MOBOTIX cameras and Door Stations do not feature built-in Wi-Fi capability. They need to be connected

to a wireless router or switch with a network cable, and they also require PoE (for example, from a PoE

switch, a PoE injector or a patched-in Mx2wire+ media converter).

5.2 Remote Connection

You can still access any of the connected video sources, even when your mobile device is outside of the range

of your local Wi-Fi network. There are three basic requirements to make this possible:

1. The router used to connect the video sources needs to be connected to the Internet (for example, via a

FRITZ!Box).

2. The video sources need to have been assigned a remote URL, for example, from a DynDNS service or a

provider of static IP addresses.

3. The mobile device hosting the App needs to have an active Internet connection.
