ScanLive gives you real-time access to your radio scanner feeds and pager traffic — anywhere, anytime. Built for teams and individuals who need reliable, low-latency access to live monitoring audio, without being tied to a desktop. LIVE SCANNER FEEDS Listen to multiple live scanner feeds at once, with instant at-a-glance status for what's currently playing, scanning, or idle. Color-coded feed cards make it easy to track several active sources during busy periods. KEEPS PLAYING WHEN YOUR PHONE IS LOCKED Audio continues in the background when you lock your phone or switch apps, with full lock-screen playback controls. PUSH NOTIFICATIONS Get notified the moment a new pager message or call comes in, even when the app is closed. BUILT FOR TEAMS Admin controls let you manage who has access to which feeds, with per-user permissions for pager messages, metadata, and frequency intelligence. ScanLive is a monitoring tool for scanner audio and pager traffic already available to you through your existing access — it does not include any scanner hardware, radio licensing, or public frequency data of its own.
