• Update Hideez Key firmware using a Bluetooth channel.
• Using Hideez Key on an Android smartphone/tablet can also perform the following operations:
• Avoid the loss of the Hideez Key and valuables where it has been attached, by the control of the
Bluetooth connection.
• Authenticate users by using eye vein scanning technology (EyeVerify) to enter the Hideez Safe.
• Take pictures of violators if someone attempts to access the smartphone without the Hideez Key
presence.
• Pressing the button can perform various pre-programmed actions and their sequence (scripts), such as
turning on audio and video recording, sending an SMS, initializing phone calls, turning on audio
signals, the flashlight and taking photos.
• Send the current geographic position to a preset phone number ("panic button" mode).
• Remember and display geolocation data about where the connection with the tag was lost on a
smartphone.
Note: The Hideez Key and Hideez Safe software are constantly being improved. Please, keep your software
and firmware updated.
7. Principles of operation
Hideez Key interacts with other electronic devices via radio frequency signals specified by Bluetooth 4.0 Low
Energy standard on the 2.4 GHz frequency bandwidth.
This standard requires minimum power consumption and uses data encryption during transmission.
The stable connection distance can reach up to 100 meters outdoors without obstacles, or up to 25 meters
indoors. The actual signal strength and range of the connection depends on the surrounding obstacles,
including human bodies, that can influence the operating range and performance of certain functions.
Hideez Key can approximately measure the distance to its paired devices using the received signal strength
indication (RSSI). This feature is the basis of most security and signaling functions.
Hideez Key is also equipped with RFID module that works on the 125 kHz frequency bandwidth. You can learn
more about RFID in the section “Using of RFID”.
Operating Hideez Key with Bluetooth requires the Hideez Safe software installation on a paired device. A
detailed manual of the installation process can be found below. Using the RFID features does not require any
additional software.
Notice: Some devices require turning off their energy saving features to provide correct Bluetooth operation.
It is because energy saving mode may turn off Bluetooth and block the execution of background services.
8. Getting Started
