The MOBOTIX App gives you a range of options for the current configuration (combination of all connected
video sources and entered settings):
• Store it so that you can access it within the App, for example, after you have inadvertently deleted your
cameras (integrated back-up function),
• provide it to other mobile devices (transfer via e-mail or iTunes), or
• share it with other users in order to set up their mobile devices.
All of the settings needed for saving, loading and transferring App configurations as ”Projects” are provided in
the shortcut menu that opens after you tap on the MOBOTIX logo at the top right of the screen. The individual
steps are described in greater detail in the ”Making projects available” section on the corresponding help page.
Note that when you are saving or transferring a project, you can specify if the access details for all the connected
video sources (user names, passwords) are to be included as well. If the ”Access data” switch is disabled and
you load the project at a later point, you will first need to manually unlock all the video sources by entering
their access details via the Edit function (Live view– shortcut menu of the Camera button). This additional layer
of protection gives you the option of sending projects to other users immediately but only make them usable
once you have also sent the access details.
When you load a project, you need to choose between replacing the current configuration with the new project
and adding the new project to the current configuration. The ”Adding” function is useful for when your App is
already configured for cameras but the loaded project only contains cameras that have not been integrated
yet. This way, you can quickly and easily add an entirely new set of cameras to your current App configuration
while also keeping any existing ones.
Before you can load a project via iTunes or your e-mail account, you need to ensure that the MOBOTIX App is
installed on your mobile device.
In order to keep down the data volume in network environments with a low bandwidth, always disable any
video sources that are not currently being used. To disable a video source, use the Edit function in the Camera
button’s shortcut menu (Live view).
