What is Pocket PIP• Mobile app for Android and iOS (iPhone/iPad).• Gives near real-time information of who is present at a given time in a traditional PIP
mode.• Has a roll call switch that allows the user to easily “tick off” who is accounted for.• Configurable update frequency. We recommend the lowest setting to keep data as up-
to-date as possible but this can be increased to save data costs if using mobile networks.
• Data is cached on the mobile device so that last available data is displayed if a network connection is lost.
