Providing camera and location access before starting your identity verification
Many devices by default prevent access to camera, microphone and/or location. Scantek's solution needs access to one or more of these features to verify your identity. We only access these features during the VOI process.
The steps for providing access varies depending on device and browser.
iPhone / iPad
Settings need to be updated in two places for iOS/Apple devices. Safari web browser is preferred when completing the VOI process however Chrome can also be used.
First, you will need to update your iPhone Privacy settings as follows:
1. Go to your phone Settings app
2. Select Privacy / Privacy & Security
3. Select Location Services even though it says that it is on
4. Scroll down and select Safari Websites or Chrome depending on the browser you are using
5. Change access to While Using the App
Next (for Safari):
6. Go back to your phone Settings app
7. Scroll down to select Safari
8. Scroll down to select Camera

10. Repeat step 9 for Microphone and Location
Next (for Chrome):
