A Windows tablet gives you further flexibility on your choices of hardware while keeping a tablet-sized touchscreen Kiosk. You can use the Brother QL series, the Dymo 450 series, or the TEMPbadge BP4 (sometimes called GoDex DT4) printers. There is no built-in scanner on a Windows tablet but you can use any plug and play scanner, we have recommended one of many options below. You can also use an RFID reader to read access control cards, the pcProx Plus reader is able to read a wide variety of frequency cards, however, you can use any RFID reader that is able to read the frequency of your cards.

A desktop computer allows your visitors to use your Kiosk on a larger screen with a keyboard and mouse. This is a more user-friendly setup for industries with users less familiar with touchscreen technology. You can use any desktop or laptop running Windows 8 or above, but we recommend using a newer model running Windows 10 to ensure a smooth workflow.
You can use the Brother QL series, the Dymo 450 series, or the TEMPbadge BP4 (sometimes called GoDex DT4) printers. You can use any plug and play scanner for scanning barcodes, we have recommended one of many options below. You can also use an RFID reader to read access control cards. The pcProx Plus reader is able to read a wide variety of frequency cards, however, you can use any RFID reader that is able to read the frequency of your cards.
For a receptionist using a computer to sign people in and out, you can also scan visitor photo ID’s using our WolScan app on an iPhone. This is an optional added security measure used to automatically record your visitors’ IDs. You can use WolScan on any iPhone with the latest iOS but we would recommend using a later model for longevity.

Other Possible Hardware

Printer Alternatives
TEMPbadge BP4 / GoDex DT4
These printers can be used as an alternative to the Dymo or Brother printer for Windows Kiosk setups. They can be purchased from either IDenticard as the TEMPbadge BP4, or from other suppliers as the GoDex DT4.
When using the TEMPbadge BP4, you can also use the TEMPbagde T6151 or 02050 expiring labels. Otherwise, you can use the Dymo 99015 labels for either printer, which are the same size but do not automatically expire.
We would suggest using these printers if you are an IDenticard customer or want to use an expiring badge pass.
Because the GoDex DT4 is a rarer printer, we do not have suggested suppliers around the world for this product. If you have a preferred supplier, you may ask if they stock this model.
You can purchase the TEMPbadge BP4 printer and labels from IDenticard in the United States and Canada.
ID Card Printers
If you want to print permanent ID cards for employees and/or service providers using WhosOnLocation, you will need an ID card printer that supports printing to CR80 sized cards.
Any ID Card printer that can print on CR80 cards is compatible with WhosOnLocation as printing ID cards is not automatic, therefore printer settings can be adjusted as required.

Mobile Computers
CipherLab RS31 & RS50 Series

Bluetooth Beacons
Beacons are used to assist with automatic sign in when using WolMobile. They are small Bluetooth devices that can connect to your smartphone automatically when in range. They come in a variety of strengths and configuration options so it’s important to ensure you get the right beacons for your location(s).
