Tablets for the check-in kiosk

What you need to run the Church Records kiosk at your door, and the kit we suggest.

What the kiosk needs

The kiosk runs in a web browser, so there is nothing to install. It works on an Android tablet (Chrome), an iPad (Safari), a Windows device or a Raspberry Pi with a touchscreen.

A touchscreen large enough for people to tap comfortably: about 10 inches suits most entrances.
Wi-Fi at the place where it will stand. If the connection drops, check-ins are kept on the device and sent when it returns.
A stand or wall mount, and power within reach, so it can stay on through the service.

Tablets

Apple iPad (11-inch, Wi-Fi)

For churches that prefer Apple. The kiosk runs in Safari and can be locked to the screen with Guided Access.
