How to scan QR code of a Vehicle?

Scanning a NekInsan QR code is designed to be very easy and accessible, so almost anyone can do it. You don't necessarily need a specific NekInsan app to scan their QR codes.

Here's how to scan a NekInsan QR code:

1. Use Your Smartphone's Default Camera App (Most Common Method):

   • Most modern smartphones (both Android and iPhone) have built-in QR code scanning capabilities directly within their default camera app.
      
   • Open your phone's camera app.
      
   • Point your camera at the NekInsan QR code. Ensure the entire QR code is visible within the camera's frame and hold your phone steady.
      
   • Your phone should automatically recognize the QR code and display a link or a prompt (usually at the top or bottom of your screen).
      
   • Tap the link/prompt. This will lead you to the NekInsan platform where you'll see options relevant to the situation (e.g., "Emergency" or "Wrong Parking").

2. Use a Dedicated QR Code Reader App:

   • If your phone's camera doesn't scan QR codes directly, or if you prefer a dedicated app, you can use:

     • The NekInsan App: NekInsan has its own app ("Nek Insan: Safety QR, SOS, Alert") available on app stores like Google Play. This app is specifically designed to work seamlessly with their QR codes and unlock all features.
        
     • Any Standard QR Code Scanner App: Popular apps like Google Lens, Paytm, or GPay (in India) also have built-in QR code scanning functions. Just open the app and use its scanner feature to point at the NekInsan QR code.

What to expect after scanning a NekInsan QR code:

NekInsan QR codes are primarily designed for safety and communication in various scenarios, including:

• Road Accidents/Emergencies (Vehicle Safety QR):

  • The scanner can choose an "Emergency" option.
     
  • They can capture photos or videos of the incident site.
     
  • This information (photos/videos, live location, and time) is instantly sent to the vehicle owner's registered emergency contacts.
     
  • A siren alert will sound on the emergency contacts' phones, even if the phone is locked, ensuring immediate notification.

  • The system facilitates masked calls to the emergency contacts, protecting the vehicle owner's privacy by not revealing their actual phone number to the scanner.

  • There's often an option for IVR calling (for those without smartphones or internet) by dialing a helpline number and extension provided on the sticker.
     
  • Quick access to emergency helpline numbers (police, ambulance, fire) is provided to the scanner.

• Wrong Parking:

  • The scanner can choose a "Wrong Parking" option.
     
  • They can optionally take a photo or video of the wrongly parked vehicle.
     
  • The vehicle owner will receive an instant notification with the location and the photo/video (if captured), allowing them to move their vehicle quickly.

• Lost and Found (for personal belongings, pets, children):

  • If the QR code is on a personal item, pet tag, or child's badge, scanning it allows the finder to contact the owner.
     
  • The finder can send photos/videos of the item/person/pet, along with the date, time, and location of the scan.

  • The system uses virtual numbers to protect the owner's privacy.

NekInsan QR codes act as a bridge to quickly and privately connect a good Samaritan or emergency responder with the owner or their emergency contacts in various situations where immediate communication is crucial.
