Device Management System (DMS) app from BB Computerteknikk AS (BBC) is an app for managing and tracking all self-service devices delivered by BBC. The app shows online status, alarm messages and their current state. You can capture the screen of a device and see exactly the same picture as the passenger. Software updates can also be performed remotely. Two-factor authentication with role-based access allows the implementation of this solution in any organization - from floor walker to maintenance personnel. Check out our web site www.bbcairport.com and contact us for an online demonstration of the DMS app and our self-service products.

Secure Vault keeps your private photos, videos, files, notes, passwords and contacts behind an app passcode on your iPhone. They are encrypted right on your device. No ads, no tracking, no account. ENCRYPTED ON YOUR DEVICE • Photos, videos, files, notes, passwords and contacts are encrypted with AES-256-GCM. The key is created on your iPhone and kept in the iOS Keychain. • Items added with an earlier version are encrypted automatically after the update. • What you keep in the vault is never sent to Nikmesoft. • Privacy Check, in Settings, shows what is protected and how. LOCK IT YOUR WAY • App passcode, separate from your device passcode. • Unlock with Face ID or Touch ID. • Repeated wrong passcodes add a waiting time before the next try. HIDE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS • Pick many photos and videos at once from your library, then choose whether to delete the originals from Photos. • Take photos and record videos with the camera straight into the vault. • Add photos and videos from the Files app. • Organize them in albums, mark favorites and find recent items. • Export your photos, videos and files to a ZIP file whenever you need it. NOTES, PASSWORDS AND CONTACTS • Keep private notes, website logins and contacts in their own tabs, with search. PREMIUM • Unlimited items. The free version keeps up to 20 photos, videos and files, with every security feature; albums are unlimited. • Private browser: cookies, cache and history are kept in memory only and erased when the app closes. Photos and videos you download go straight into your encrypted vault. • Wi-Fi transfer: move files between a computer and an album over your Wi-Fi network, protected by a one-time 6-digit PIN. The connection is plain HTTP, so the app reminds you before each start to use it only on a Wi-Fi network you trust. It stops when you leave the screen, after 5 minutes without activity, and after 30 minutes at most. • Panic switch: shake your iPhone or turn it face down to jump to Safari, Messages, Maps or Music. • Choose a different home screen icon. GOOD TO KNOW • Your passcode cannot be recovered. If you forget it, the vault cannot be opened, and deleting the app deletes the vault. • To move to a new iPhone, use iCloud Backup or an encrypted computer backup. An unencrypted computer backup does not carry the encryption key. • File and album names are not encrypted. PRIVACY No ads, no tracking, no data sold. The only data the app sends are anonymous crash and performance reports (Firebase Crashlytics) that are not linked to you. SUBSCRIPTIONS AND PURCHASES Premium is available as a yearly auto-renewing subscription, which may start with a free trial, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices and any trial are shown in the app before you buy. • Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or when the free trial ends. • A subscription renews automatically at the same price unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for the renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends. • Manage or cancel in Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. • Already bought Premium? Open Premium and tap Restore Purchases.
