How often should I run a checkup?
Once a week. Vigil never scans on its own, so a quick weekly checkup is how you spot a new device or a change at home. The reminder tells you when it's time.
Why It Matters
Vigil only looks at your home when you run a checkup. A new device on your Wi-Fi, or a changed router setting, stays unnoticed until you check.
What To Do
- Pick a day that's easy to remember, like Sunday morning.
- When the reminder comes, open Vigil while you're at home on your own Wi-Fi.
- Run the checkup and look at anything new since last week.
- Fix one thing if something new shows up, then you're done for the week.
