You can save your snapshots in JPEG or PDF format in the SMART kapp app, and in PDF format on a USB drive.

Snapshots are small files, typically less than 30 KB.

The board doesn’t require access to the Internet (wired or wireless). The mobile device that connects to the board requires Wi-Fi or a mobile data plan to share a board session and to share snapshots to the Evernote service or other cloud services.

It’s easy to connect your mobile device to the board. Simply scan the board’s QR code (iOS or Android mobile devices ) or tap the NFC tag (Android mobile devices only) to initiate a Bluetooth connection.

The board connects directly to the SMART kapp app through Bluetooth using an iOS or Android mobile device. After you capture snapshots on a mobile device or on a USB drive, you can transfer the snapshots to a computer.

You can view a share session from a board on a SMART Board interactive whiteboard, a SMART Board interactive flat panel or another SMART interactive display by opening the session in an Internet browser.

SMART helps protect your sensitive information in the kappboard.com cloud service by using only encrypted communication protocols (HTTPS) and removes it as soon as you stop sharing. These measures are in addition to industry-standard security best practices.

When a user connects to a board, a connection icon indicates that a device is connected. Only one mobile device can connect to a board at a time. The board uses only encrypted protocols to communicate over Bluetooth (in addition to what Bluetooth itself provides), effectively reducing the risk of data interception in the air.
