Aim your smartphone at the barcode on a Driver License to instantly read, verify, parse and display the results: Underage, Expired ID, Alerts, etc. Age ID comes with Intellicheck's patented ID Check software to verify the authenticity of an ID by reading and verifying the format of the information encoded in the bar codes on state and provincial driver licenses, identification cards, military and government IDs. It can be used to reduce the chance of receiving fines & penalties to merchants who unknowingly sell age-restricted products to underage purchasers. It keeps track of who was scanned and when. Age ID works with devices that have an 8MP camera or higher (iPhone 6S or better). It also works with the 5th generation iPad and iPad Mini.

Scout Tracking by Sure Response keeps your business assets where they belong. Attach small BLE trackers to the equipment that matters most, define your site boundaries, and Scout Tracking does the rest: monitoring in real time and alerting your team the moment something leaves the premises. Whether you manage a single location or coordinate across a team, Scout Tracking gives you visibility into where your assets are and confidence that nothing walks out the door unnoticed. How it works Place BLE beacons on the assets you want to track. Set up your site boundaries in the app using GPS coordinates. Scout Tracking continuously scans for your beacons and compares their location against your defined geofences. When a tagged asset crosses a boundary, your team receives push notifications and email alerts within seconds. Key features Asset monitoring: See all your tagged assets in one place with real-time status showing whether each item is on site or off premises. Geofence alerts: Define site boundaries and receive instant notifications when assets leave or return. Configurable alert cooldowns prevent notification fatigue. Team management: Invite staff members with role-based access. Admins manage the full system, managers oversee operations, and staff receive the alerts relevant to their assignments. Tag-based scoping: Organize assets and team members into groups. Staff only see the assets and receive alerts for the groups assigned to them, keeping large deployments manageable. Facility map: View asset locations on an interactive map with site boundaries overlaid. Quickly identify which assets are inside your facilities and which have moved outside. Background scanning: Scout Tracking works in the background so you do not need to keep the app open. Periodic scans detect nearby beacons and publish sightings automatically. Multi-site support: Configure multiple site boundaries for organizations with more than one location. Each site has its own geofence and alert settings. Secure by design: All communications between devices and servers are encrypted with TLS. Per-device MQTT credentials are provisioned automatically and can be rotated at any time. Your data is isolated by organization with row-level security enforced at the database layer.
