Scan & Go is a app available for iPhone and other smartphones. Scan & Go uses your phone's Internet connection (4G/3G/2G/EDGE or Wi-Fi, as available) to let you scan barcode of Tvilight devices and add/remove/update in Tvilight architecture. Scan & Go comes handy during installation of Tvilight products on the field. WHY USE SCAN & GO: • EASY TO USE: Using Scan & Go, one can easily scan the barcode of Tvilight devices, and subsequently add those devices to the Tvilight architecture. Even moving or deleting devices is very easy. A user who has access to Tvilight’s CityManager product, can add devices after scanning to his individual group. • SECURED: Scan & Go can only be accessed by individual who has CityManager access. Any clients/partners will only be able to see the organisation in which they have access • NO FEES: Scan & Go uses your phone's Internet connection (4G/3G/2G/EDGE or Wi-Fi, as available) to let you upload scanned barcode to Tvilight APIs, so you don't have to pay for every scan or upload.

Device Settings shows what is inside your iPhone or iPad in one place: device details, a quick check-up, battery and network information, and a set of handy tools. DEVICE INFO • Model, system version, manufacturer and platform • Display: resolution, pixel density and orientation • Storage: total, used and available space • Memory (RAM): total, used and available • Processor: architecture, number of cores and ABI • Battery: level and charging state DEVICE CHECK-UP • A check-up of your passcode, iOS version, free storage, Low Power Mode and signs of a jailbreak • Each item says what is fine and what needs attention, with the path in Settings to fix it WI-FI AND IP DETAILS • Network name and BSSID of the Wi-Fi you are connected to (with your permission to use location, which iOS requires for these two values) • IP address and connection type ADVANCED INSIGHTS The security and storage insights open on a clear dashboard: a 0-100 score ring, a verdict (Looks good, Needs attention or Action needed) and the number of issues found. Every row carries a status (Good, Check, Risk or Info) and says in plain words why it matters, and an At a glance card shows the key numbers as charts. • Security Analyzer: screen lock, device integrity and system version, scored, with what to check in Settings • Storage Analyzer: a used and free space bar, with tips to free up room • Battery & Power: battery level and charging status, with iPhone power tips (Low Power Mode, Optimized Battery Charging); iOS gives apps no battery health reading, so this insight gives no verdict • Export Device Report: copy or share a device report as text or JSON TOOLS • Compass • Metal detector that uses the magnetic sensor • Flashlight and screen light • Battery monitor GOOD TO KNOW iOS does not share some readings with apps, such as battery health, battery temperature and Wi-Fi signal strength, so the app does not show them. Some tools depend on the hardware: the flashlight needs a camera flash (most iPads have none), and the compass and metal detector need a magnetic sensor. The app reads information only; it does not change any system setting. Check-up results are kept on your device. ADS AND PRO The app shows ads. Without Pro, Advanced Insights open with daily passes or after watching a short video. Pro removes ads, unlocks unlimited Advanced Insights and device reports, and adds the Pro compass and flashlight tools.

Verdict
