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.
