VS-NFCDONGLE-000 NFC Dongle

The Vivint NFC Dongle is a proprietary hand-held tool that Field Service Professional (FSP) technicians/installers can use to pair (i.e., add) various devices to the customer’s Vivint Smart Home system. Quick and easy to use, technicians connect the NFC Dongle to the control panel/hub with a USB cable, and then scan the device they want to add in order to read its embedded NFC tag and add it to the panel/hub network.
Features and benefits include: A small and simple pocket-size design for convenient handling and storage; Durable and sturdy construction for long- lasting and repeated use; Improved scanning range to ensure a fast and reliable pairing process. The NFC Dongle eliminates the need for external buttons on the panel/hub, reduces service costs and installation time, and enhances security by preventing unauthorized access and control of devices.
This document includes a product description, illustrations, basic operating instructions, as well as technical specifications, standards listings, and regulatory compliance information.
