Overview
A Device in MW Content refers to the physical screen or player (e.g., Android box, Smart TV, or media player) that displays scheduled content. Before any content can play on a screen, the device must be registered in the platform, linked to a location, and verified with a code.
Once added, the device can be monitored, scheduled, restarted, and configured remotely.
Purpose of Device Registration
Link screens to their respective locations and networks

Allow tracking via playlogs, online status, and screenshot capture
