Cognitas PocketID is an out-of-band (OOB) push notification authentication solution providing a variety of options to complement or replace passwords, allowing enterprises to implement password-less two-factor authentication. PocketID can be run in “decentralized mode” for decentralized authentication, protecting enterprises against backend data breaches, and helping enterprises meet privacy requirements of recent compliance regulations like the European GDPR, with a decentralized architecture that avoids centralized server-side credential repositories. PocketID is integrated out of the box with popular web site infrastructure such as Apache and IIS, cloud services like Office 365 and SalesForce, Windows Hello for Windows 10 authentication, and any SAML or OpenID Connect-enabled app or service. PocketID supports multiple provisioning options for convenience of adoption, including QR provisioning. Common support operations are provided “in-app”, helping reduce operational costs.

Watch and record your IP cameras, NVRs and network streams on iPhone and iPad. Try the free NX-V first to check that your cameras work with the app. NX-V PRO removes the limits and adds the advanced features below. NX-V PRO adds to NX-V: • No limits: unlimited cameras per group, any number of cameras and columns in multiview, and recordings of 5 to 20 minutes with automatic continuation into the next part • Recorders (NVRs) and multi-channel cameras: every channel shows as its own camera, in single or multi-camera view • Playback from your recorder, and from a camera's own SD card (on cameras that support it), starting from the moment you choose • Recorder events and health: motion alarms, disk, storage and login alerts, with "Play from here" to jump to the recording • Motion detection that saves a video clip of each event (NX-V saves a picture), with before and after recording, zones, and people-only detection • Fisheye lens support: straighten the picture and look around • Camera lens setting for wide and fisheye cameras Features in both apps: • Finds IP cameras on your network automatically, or add one by address or stream URL (RTSP, HTTP) • Live view with sound, PTZ controls, pinch to zoom, and swipe to the next camera • Groups with multiview grids, full-screen landscape on iPhone • Record to your device and view recordings in the Recordings tab • Map of your cameras with their positions • Warning when a camera can't be reached • Logins kept in the iPhone Keychain • iCloud sync of cameras, groups, locations and recordings with your other NX-V apps • Available in English, French, Italian, Spanish, German and Portuguese Notes: Not all cameras or NVRs support every feature, and what is available varies by camera, NVR and firmware. Playback of an SD card or recorder at an exact start time depends on how the camera or NVR behaves. If a camera or NVR provides no timing information, the app cannot move to the exact start of a recording. NX-V is also available for Apple TV and macOS.
