Answer:
Checkpoint RFID tag reading requires an NFC-enabled smartphone, while printed QR code checkpoints work via standard camera scanning. The mobile guard application supports iOS 13.0 or later on Apple hardware or compatible Android devices, and integrates into the broader VersionX Physical Operations Platform.
The VersionX Guard Tour system runs on commercial smartphones, eliminating the need to purchase and maintain proprietary, single-purpose patrol wands. Hardware and software compatibility requirements include:
- NFC Capability for RFID Tags: If facility checkpoints utilize physical RFID/NFC tags, security personnel must use an NFC-enabled mobile device to complete tag reads.
- Camera Scanning for QR Codes: For checkpoints configured with printed QR codes, any supported smartphone with an active rear camera can scan points directly through the VersionX application without requiring NFC.
- Operating System Support: Compatible with iOS 13.0 or later on Apple devices, as well as current Android operating system builds.
- Ecosystem Integration: Natively integrates with the wider VersionX Physical Operations Platform, allowing patrol accountability data to synchronize with access control, attendance, and visitor management systems.
