CAPTOR for BlackBerry (iOS) 5.1.4

Josh Bohls

This week we released CAPTOR for BlackBerry (iOS) version 5.1.4. This release includes some major upgrades to the CAPTOR camera, as well as two new app configuration options.

The CAPTOR camera is the most important component of the app. Therefore we spend a lot of time fine-tuning the camera so that our customers can capture high quality photos that meet the demands of their business users. This release includes some changes to the camera that will both improve the quality of photos, while also shrinking the file size. The exact resolution of the photos depends on the device, but the general goal is to capture photos at 4K resolution. Due to some customer feedback, we also enable a lower resolution camera that has better performance. This option captures photos in 1080/1K resolution (generally) but the camera is lightning fast so you can take a lot of photos very quickly.

Now lets look at the new app configs, specifically for CAPTOR managed by BlackBerry UEM.

Launch BlackBerry UEM, navigate to the Apps screen, and find CAPTOR for BlackBerry. Open an existing app configuration and tap on the Configuration tab.

Scroll down til you locate the setting labeled “Location Type”. Location Type will determine what location data will be included in the captions and metadata of CAPTOR photos and videos.

If you expand the Location Type dropdown you will see the following options to select from.

  • Complete Address: Displays the complete address where the content was captured

  • City/State: Displays the city, state, and country where the content was captured

  • Latitude/Longitude: Displays the precise latitude/longitude coordinates where content was captured.

  • None: Would remove any location data from captions even if the app user has enabled location services.

  • User: Allows the app user to choose their own value in the app settings

Just below on the same Configuration Tab you will see a new configuration labeled “Camera Quality”. This app configuration will set the CAPTOR camera in either High or Low mode, or allow the user to switch between the modes in the app.

if you expand Camera Quality you will find the following options

  • High: This will lock the CAPTOR camera in High Quality Capture Mode. Photos captured in this mode will be the highest resolution and quality possible.

  • Low: This will lock the CAPTOR camera in Low Quality Capture Mode. Photos captured in this mode will be lower quality, however the camera performance will be improved. This might be preferable for situations where you need to capture a lot of photos very quickly and are not as concerned with the quality.

  • User: This option will allow the user to decide which mode to capture photos in. The setting will be unlocked in the app, so they can easily switch between High and Low as needed.

There are quite a few other enhancements included in version 5.1.4. Here is a summary of the most important changes:

  • Improved photo medatadata, including time/date of capture, edit, and backup.

  • Option to not include location data when sharing a photo.

  • Reset the “Backed up” flag on a specific content so that it is queued to be backup again. Open the content, tap Media Info button, tap Reset Backup.

CAPTOR (Android) v2.2.x Release Notes

Josh Bohls

This month we have released updates to the CAPTOR Android apps which introduce a few new user interface changes and enhancements. The releases span versions 2.2.5 - 2.2.6, and include CAPTOR (Android Enterprise) and CAPTOR for Intune (Android). CAPTOR for BlackBerry (Android) v2.2.6 is forthcoming very soon. Let’s dig in!

  • Default Capture Mode. This is a big change to how users interact with CAPTOR. Instead of launching to the normal CAPTOR home screen, the app will now up up directly to the capture “mode” you use most. You can either configure this in your EMM, or the app user can select a default. The options are Photo, Video, Audio, or Doc.

  • SMB Path. For those of you with CAPTOR configured to backup content using the SMB protocol, this feature will be useful. In prior releases, the value you set for “SMB Path” must have mapped to an existing folder, and if that folder was not found the backup would fail. The system now writes the new folder if it does not already exist on the server. This will improve the overall reliability and robustness of the backup system.

  • Biometric Authentication. We have updated the biometric authentication options and released a new app configuration to control it (Allow Biometrics, values “true” or “false”). This will prompt the app user to enable fingerprint or facial recognition to authenticate the app.

  • App Icons. Last but not least, the app icons have been updated to reflect the new CAPTOR branding. They also incorporate adaptive design for devices that display app icons as circles and other shapes.

We hope you enjoy these new enhancements. Please share feedback by emailing support[at]inkscreen[dot]com or submit a ticket on our Support page.
