# 4G scan devices

One of the services Eventication can deliver is scan devices. These devices are rugged and can be used in less-then-ideal circumstances. When renting devices from us a new button "**Hardware**" will appear on the top navigation bar. More information about that can be found [here](/event/hardware/scan-app-devices.md).

Our devices are Wi-Fi enabled and also have a fallback 4G connection (Europe).

These devices need a [hardware moderator](/event/general/moderators/hardware-moderators.md) QR code from your event to log in. This part is also unlocked when renting devices.

## Functionality

Our scan devices can help you to do a couple of things.

### Scan in or out of a zone

Select a zone and start scanning [wristbands](/event/misc/wristbands.md). You can check a person into a zone, or out.

A <mark style="background-color:green;">green</mark> screen indicates this person is allowed into that zone.

A <mark style="background-color:red;">red</mark> screen indicates this person is not allowed into that zone. The scanner will show you an explanation as to why this is the case (not allowed today, not allowed into this zone, wristband disabled,...).

### Multi zone validation

Select multiple zones and start scanning wristbands. Once a wristband has been scanned, the server will check if this person can enter at least one of the selected zones.&#x20;

<mark style="background-color:green;">Green</mark> means go, <mark style="background-color:red;">red</mark> means this person can't visit any of the selected zones.

### Give food & beverages

Select a [food or beverage kind](/event/general/food-and-beverages.md) you are distributing and start scanning wristbands.

A <mark style="background-color:green;">green</mark> screen indicates this person can receive this food or beverage. After this scan there is a confirmation button you have to click to indicate the meal has been given.

A <mark style="background-color:red;">red</mark> screen indicates this person is not allowed to receive this food or beverage. The scanner will show you an explanation as to why this is the case (not allowed today, no food or beverage selected of this kind, wristband disabled,...).

### Time tracks

Scan a wristband to start a time track for this person. If a time track is running, the device will also allow you to stop that time track. Optionally you can write a start and stop message.

### Wristband linker

Scan a ticket or search for a person. Then scan a wristband. A link has been made between those two. This person can now use that wristband for zone travels, retrieving food, time tracks, ...

### Parking entry or exit

Select a parking zone and start scanning [parking cards](/event/accreditation/parking-card-configurations.md). You can check vehicles in a parking zone, or out.

A <mark style="background-color:green;">green</mark> screen indicates this vehicle is allowed on this parking zone.

A <mark style="background-color:red;">red</mark> screen indicates this vehicle is not allowed to enter this parking zone. The scanner will show you an explanation as to why this is the case (not allowed today, wrong parking zone, already in, ...).

### Checkout of event

A simple way of scanning people **out** of your event. Put this scanner at an exit and just start scanning wristbands to make sure these people are checked out of the event when leaving it. People who are already checked out (double scan or mistake) will not be checked out again.

### Information scan

This function allows the scanner to find a bunch of information about a scanned code. Things like:

* Is this a person? A parking card? A ticket?
* Does this person have a [job](/event/planning/stations/substations/jobs.md) right now?
* Are we [tracking time](/event/accreditation/time-tracking.md) for this person?
* Is this [wristband](/event/misc/wristbands.md) disabled?
* etc.

{% hint style="warning" %}
This function can give a lot of private information about the owner of the scanned code like full name and phone number. Use with care.
{% endhint %}

### Zone validation scan

Select a couple of zones and scan a wristband. Our system will check if this person has access to at least one of those zones.

{% hint style="warning" %}
This feature can only be used to check if a person can access one of the selected zones.

* It **will not** check-in the person into a zone
* It **will not** check-in the person into the event
* It **will** check if the person has access today, if the wristband is still active, ...
  {% endhint %}
