Home Radar: always know what's on your Wi-Fi. An old phone reconnects while you're out. A laptop joins the office network at 2am. Something you don't recognize appears next to your TV. Home Radar tells you the moment it happens: a push alert on iPhone and Apple Watch, a morning briefing of overnight changes, and a Network DVR timeline to scrub back through. Remote Scans checks in from anywhere. IP Scanner Ultra bundles our award-winning Mac, iPhone and iPad apps together with new Apple TV, Apple Watch and Vision Pro versions - 6 apps in one. Scan your local area network to determine the identity of all machines and internet devices on the LAN. Powerful results, yet easy and intuitive to use. It’s like a level 9 detect devices spell for your network!

The VANTIQ app provides efficient mobile collaborations between people and automation systems through the delivery of notifications to mobile devices. Each notification presents the mobile user with a situation that requires their input or, at least, awareness. No longer does the user have to actively monitor the automation system; critical notifications are delivered in real time as they are detected. Each notification presents a customized page that allows the user to quickly assess the current situation and respond with their decision. Once the response has been formed the app is dismissed and the user is free to return to other activities, allowing optimal utilization of their time. Advanced automation systems are at their best when effectively integrated with the people that provide the “human intelligence” that optimizes the performance of the automation system. The VANTIQ app seamlessly integrates people with the Advanced Automation capabilities of VANTIQ.
