Core Features: Live Device Overview: Get a real-time list of all online and offline devices, including their IP and MAC addresses. Intruder Detection: Quickly identify unknown or newly connected devices on your network. Secure API Connection: Connects directly and securely to your local server using your NetAlertX API token.
