NO
YES Do you have a dedicated Android smartphone for SmartBug?
OPTION #1
(Recommended)
NO
Is the Android version 4.4 or higher?
YES
SyTech will provide a DropBox link with the required setup files, we require a one time phone conversation to ensure the bug is setup properly and the user has a clear understanding of basic fundamentals for using the SmartBug product.
OPTION #2
OPTION #3 The user can arrange with SyTech to send an Android loaner. Supplies however are limited and this can take some time. A deposit might be required.
SyTech will provide a DropBox link, with an additional texting application that replaces the default Android SMS client. Android Version 4.4 (KitKat) changed security permissions regarding SMS and how SMS is delivered to the handset. The new texting application will allow for everyday text conversations to take place, but it shields the user from discrete commands sent from those that are monitoring the device in another location. Consequently, SyTech does not recommend a personal phone be used for SmartBug.
