9 USING THE APP EFFICIENTLY
9.1 Playing Back External MxPEG Clips On The App
The MOBOTIX App can be used to play back previously recorded MxPEG clips. An easy way to get a clip onto
your mobile device is to send it as an attachment to your e-mail account. Open the e-mail and tap on the
attachment. A list of compatible apps available on your mobile device appears. Tap on ”Open in MOBOTIX”.
The MOBOTIX App starts and opens a dialog box.
Here, you need to confirm that you wish to open the clip. Tap on ”OK” and the clip will start playing in the Player
view. It is also available in the current camera group (Live view– shortcut menu of the Camera button), where
you can start it again at any time.
9.2 Protection Against Unauthorized App Use (three-tiered)
There is a potential security risk because the combination of MOBOTIX App and Door Station provides an
opportunity for the door to be opened remotely. Therefore, the App should be protected against unauthorized
use (such as when the mobile device is lost or stolen).
To guarantee the best possible security, MOBOTIX recommends three-tiered protection, combining the mobile
device software, the App and the camera access details.
Firstly, you should set up the passcode lock on your mobile device (General Settings) to activate very quickly
when your device is inactive.
Secondly, you should protect the MOBOTIX App with another PIN. To set this up, tap on the MOBOTIX logo
in the top right corner of the screen (Live, Player or Events view). A shortcut menu opens. Tap on ”Security”.
Enter a PIN of your choice and repeat your entry (avoid obvious number combinations, as these
are less secure). In the ”Protected Functions” list, enable the first switch, ”App Usage”, and exit the App.
Whenever you open the App from now on, you are prompted to enter a PIN. This prevents the App from
being used to open the door even if an unauthorized person manages to break through the mobile device’s
passcode lock.
