Remote face management
The 3D Smart Lock application preprogrammed in the SLN-VIZN3D-IOT kit allows you to register and de-register faces locally
using the onboard pushbuttons or serial commands. It also supports remote face management over Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE)
using an Android phone/tablet application. The Smart Lock Manager app for Android smartphones and tablets offers a friendly
interface where you can both register new faces remotely and manage faces that are already registered in the SLN-VIZN3D-IOT’s
local face database. This section describes some major features provided by this dedicated Android app.
5.1 Installing the Smart Lock Android app manually
The pre-compiled APK and the complete source code for the Smart Lock Manager app are on the NXP website at the
SLN-VIZN3D-IOT product page under the Software and Tools section.
To install the Smart Lock Manager app on your Android device, store the "Smart_Lock_Manager.apk" file on your smart device
by downloading it directly from your device’s web browser or by transferring it from your computer to your device. Before you can
install it on your Android device, make sure that third-party apps are allowed on your device. Go to "Menu > Settings > Security"
and tick "Unknown Sources" to allow your phone to install apps from sources other than the Google Play Store. As an alternative,
you are prompted to allow your browser or file manager to install APKs the first time you attempt to do so. Open the Files App
and search for the APK file location on your Android device (the "Downloads" folder by default), tap it, tap "Install" and wait for the
installation to complete.
Figure 18. Installing the Smart Lock Manager app for Android
After opening the Smart Lock Manager app for the first time, you are asked to authorize the app to access your smart device’s
camera, your location (to enable Bluetooth), and your photographs. It is important that you approve those services to connect new
kits or register new faces.
