VIDEX SMS WIZARD PRO
Read full descriptionHide full description
The Videx SMS Wizard Pro app is an advanced version of the standard Videx SMS Wizard which is primarily designed for the end users of the system. The Pro version was designed specifically for engineers and installers to enable them to carryout all the programming options of the GSM intercom system. The app can be used to manage an unlimited number of sites and each site can contain an unlimited number of intercoms. All site data and programming is stored on a central server (Cloud based) so that multiple engineers can manage the same sites and have access to all the programming on their own mobile phone. As this app is designed for engineers and installers it will be necessary to sign up to use the app but this is a free service. The app can be used for all programming features of the systems and additionally can be used to view events for each intercom remotely and in real time.
