Operating Instructions

1.4 Notifications
The [Video Intercom] app can notify you when you receive calls from doorphones (page 9) and when sensors
connected to the main monitor are triggered (page 11). The app can notify you by playing a ringtone or notification
sound, and by displaying a message.
Note:
R Notification features behave differently depending on the status of your mobile device and your mobile device’s
settings.
When a notification is displayed
Tap the notification (unlock the screen if necessary) to display the [Video Intercom] app’s screen. You can then take
appropriate action, such as answer the doorphone call (page 9) or read details about the alarm notification
(page 11).
Note:
R You cannot change the ringtone used for the [Video Intercom] app’s notifications.
R If the ringtone or notification sound plays but no notification is displayed, switch from the current app to the [Video
Intercom] app manually.
Notes for Android device users
R If you are using another app when a doorphone call or alarm notification is received, your mobile device’s screen
switches automatically to the [Video Intercom] app’s screen.
R Notification sound
A step-up tone is used for the notification sound (i.e., the sound plays quietly and gradually becomes louder).
R Ringtone
The doorphone ringtone plays at the same volume as your mobile device’s ringtone (i.e., the ringtone used for
phone calls).
R Silent mode
If your mobile device’s silent mode is enabled, the notification sound will be played but the doorphone ringtone
will not be played.
Notes for iPhone and iPad users
R If the [Video Intercom] app’s screen is not displayed after unlocking your mobile device’s screen, display the app
manually (i.e., tap the app’s icon in your mobile device’s home screen, select it from the recent apps list, etc.).
R Notification sound
If the screen is locked or another app is in the foreground, notification features behave according to the Notifications
Centre settings, found in your mobile device’s [Settings] app.
If the [Video Intercom] app is in the foreground, a step-up tone is used for the notification sound (i.e., the sound
plays quietly and gradually becomes louder).
R Ringtone
If the screen is locked or another app is in the foreground, the doorphone ringtone plays at the same volume as
your mobile device’s ringtone (i.e., the ringtone used for phone calls).
If the [Video Intercom] app is in the foreground, the doorphone ringtone plays at the same volume as your mobile
device’s playback volume for music and multimedia (i.e., you can adjust the volume by pressing your mobile
device’s volume buttons).
R Silent mode
If the screen is locked or another app is in the foreground, and if your mobile device’s silent mode is enabled, the
notification sound and doorphone ringtone will not be played.
If the [Video Intercom] app is in the foreground, the notification sound and doorphone ringtone play as explained
above.
