Smart Activation

Overview

Smart Activation keeps all your protection features dormant until suspicious behavior is detected. Normal visitors browse your store without any restrictions — locks only activate when needed. This feature requires the Premium plan.

How It Works

With Smart Activation enabled, Photolock monitors for common theft indicators:

• Right-click attempts on images
• Copy/paste keyboard shortcuts
• Drag and drop attempts
• Other suspicious interactions

When any of these actions are detected, all your enabled protections activate immediately for that visitor's session. Until then, the visitor experiences no restrictions.

When to Use Smart Activation

Use Smart Activation when:

• You want to minimize any impact on the browsing experience for legitimate customers
• Your store has accessibility requirements where always-on protection may interfere
• You prefer a less aggressive approach that only responds to actual theft attempts

Use always-on protection (Smart Activation off) when:

• You want maximum protection from the first page load
• Your images are high-value and you can't risk any unprotected window
• You prefer visible deterrence (visitors immediately see protection is active)

Enabling Smart Activation

1. Open the Photolock app
2. On the dashboard, find the Smart Activation section
3. Toggle it On
4. Click Save

Smart Activation applies to all protection features you have enabled. You don't need to configure it per feature.
