Just Released! The MOBOTIX App: The Premium Solution
Good things come to those who wait, and our patience has finally paid off! MOBOTIX just announced their new app for iPhones, iPods, iPads and iPad Minis and it looks, for lack of a better term, totally awesome.
The MOBOTIX app, simply titled “MOBOTIX”, is compatible with the T24 IP Video Door Station and most MOBOTIX IP cameras. The beauty of this German company is they make an outstanding product: MOBOTIX cameras have no moving parts so there is no mechanical wear and tear, they’re at least IP65 rated for outdoor or indoor use, and can operate in extreme conditions from literally Zugspitze peak to the controlled atmosphere of the Vatican vaults. And this app was specifically created to use the Megapixel lenses, integrated capabilities and long life to their fullest extent.
MOBOTIX spent months and months pouring over the functionality of this app to give you an almost-remote camera station. Granted, it won’t do everything a genuine camera station can do, but it’s pretty near close. With features such as 2-way audio/IP telephony, virtual PTZ, light switch control, door-lock control, recording management and playback, it’s hard not to be forgiving that you still need to configure elsewhere. For more information, you can read all the description details on their App Store download page.
This app has been designed with the remote user in mind. Ideal for mobile bodies, it’s the perfect solution for home security and access control in facilities. With door control, you can let locked-out family members inside, speak with the delivery man dropping off a package, or be alerted directly if someone has broken in. Any sort of scenario you can image, so did the engineers at MOBOTIX, and they created this app to integrate with their outstanding line of high quality IP cameras to maximize the efficiency of that IP security system you installed.
The app is completely free and requires at least iOS 5.0, however MOBOTIX recommends iOS 6.0 for best performance, and the MOBOTIX IP Video Door Station T24/MOBOTIX IP Cameras Q22/D22/M22/D12/M12 will all need their firmware updated to 4.1.4.70 or later, available at http://www.mobotix.com/eng_US/Support/Software-Downloads.
Unfortunately, other smartphones will have to continue the wait as this app is only available for Apple products.
