# Which devices and readers does KIOSK support?

To run KIOSK you need a device that will stay in the location permanently. Extra hardware is only required if you want to use fingerprints or contactless cards.

# The device

The KIOSK app runs on tablets and phones with **Android** and **iOS**. In practice a tablet in a wall mount by the entrance works best — on a large screen the numeric keypad stays visible, so clocking in with a PIN is quicker.

KIOSK adapts to the device orientation. In portrait the same methods stack into a column.

| Important: One device serves **one location**. If you have several entrances or several locations, each needs its own terminal and its own activation.

# Readers

* **Fingerprint reader** — required for the "Fingerprint" method
* **Contactless card reader** — required for the "Card" method

The state of both readers is visible in the admin panel, under **"Accessories"**.

# It works without readers too

If you connect no readers at all, KIOSK keeps the two methods that need no hardware: QR code and PIN. That is a fully working setup — many customers start exactly there and add readers later.
