The mobile app allows retrieval of certain number of records from the OPTIC server to view and update them on the mobile device, then saving those records back to server. New records can be created and existing ones can be deleted as well. If a connection to the OPTIC server cannnot be established, saving is done on device - with the possibility of having them uploaded to server manually or automatically as soon as a connection to server is detected. The records operate with default or or custom layouts (templates), automatically downloaded from the server after a successful login. Documents ("Resources" section) can be downloaded to device for later viewing - while disconnected from the Internet - opening with the default device applications. Similar for SDS (Safety Data Sheet) documents. Please keep in mind that the more data downloaded, the longer the waiting time is going to be. Also, extra data charges may incur from your cell service provider - therefore it is strongly recommended to download while on WiFi, as much as possible. The SETTINGS section allows customization of the volume and frequency of the downloads, as well as resetting the app anytime - with deletion of all locally stored app data, in order to free up storage space. The app complements the OPTIC System Web application and its strongest asset is the ability to operate on records and locally downloaded documents while disconnected from the Internet. For the full set of features it is recommended to use the Web application. To log in, use the same Client ID, User Name and Password which you normally would use in the Web application.
Hidden Camera Detector

Hidden Camera Detector helps you look for signs of possible spy cameras, hidden microphones and unknown wireless devices, using the sensors already built into your iPhone. PLEASE READ FIRST This app is a scanning aid, not professional security equipment. It cannot detect every device, it cannot see inside walls or objects, and it cannot guarantee that a room is free of hidden cameras or other surveillance. Everything the app shows is an indication that deserves a closer look with your own eyes — never proof. If you believe you are being monitored, contact local authorities. WHAT IS FREE AND WHAT IS PAID • Free: one Magnetic Field scan, so you can try the app first • Requires a paid subscription or lifetime purchase: unlimited Magnetic Field scans, Lens Reflection Viewer, Wi-Fi Devices, Bluetooth Devices, Guided Room Scan and saved Findings • Prices are shown in the app before any purchase THE TOOLS 1. MAGNETIC FIELD METER — one free scan, then paid Reads the iPhone magnetometer and shows field strength in µT as you sweep a surface. Electronics contain magnets and metal, so a reading well above the background level is worth a closer look — but so are speakers, hinges, screws and pipes. 2. LENS REFLECTION VIEWER — paid Uses the camera and a bright screen so you can look for the small glint a lens can throw back. Glass, polished plastic and metal reflect too, so treat every highlight as something to inspect by hand. 3. WI-FI DEVICES — paid Lists devices on the Wi-Fi network you are connected to and marks the ones advertising video services or matching known camera vendors. Routers, printers, TVs and NAS boxes are often marked as well. Devices on another network, or cameras that record to an SD card, cannot appear here. 4. BLUETOOTH DEVICES — paid Lists nearby Bluetooth Low Energy devices with signal strength so you can walk toward one and identify it. Headphones, watches and speakers show up here too. GUIDED ROOM SCAN — paid A step-by-step checklist of the most common hiding spots: bed, TV, smoke alarm, outlets, mirror, bathroom. PRIVACY • No account, no sign-up • Nothing you scan leaves your phone • The magnetic and lens tools work offline SUBSCRIPTION Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.
