Highlights of This Release

  • The facelift of this release provides for a contemporary look and improved user experience thanks to the use of overlay interface elements.

  • The Live, Playback, and Grid views can now show the camera images as a full screen with one tap; another tap switches back to show the overlay controls.

  • The Dark Theme adds a fresh look to MxBell, while the background of the default theme has been changed to a brighter shade of white.

  • Different pre-defined Ring Tones for ring and alarm notifications provide a great way to differentiate between these two audible notification types.

  • The new Visitors view collects the ring events of all door stations to provide an overview of all visitors that rung a doorbell.

Notes

  • Before viewing your cameras remotely via mobile data or other networks, you need to configure your router to allow incoming traffic. For security reasons, routers normally do not allow access to your internal network. Please read your router manual and your MOBOTIX camera manual regarding external camera access, port forwarding, DynDNS, etc.

  • When using wireless networks (WiFi, 3G/4G) on mobile devices, connection quality can vary and the connection may even fail completely. This means that some events, such as ringing the doorbell, will be transmitted later or not at all. MOBOTIX therefore recommends to also use a cable-based intercom system (such as MxDisplay).

  • If you do not use MxBell often: To ensure ongoing push notification functionality, you should open the app at least once every month.

  • Android 5.0.0 or higher
