Kiosk Hardware Recommendations
To make the most out of Proxyclick, you will need the following hardware:
- Apple iPad
- Tablet Holder
- Badge Printer - If you require your visitors or contractors to wear a physical badge while at your location, you'll also need a printer.
Recommended Devices
As a part of our due diligence, we test different devices to make sure the best possible experience when using our kiosk app.
Apple iPad
Proxyclick is compatible with any iPad running the latest 3 versions of iOS. (For example, if the current iOS is 14, an iPad that is compatible with iOS 12, 13, and 14 would be compatible with Proxyclick). We recommend that you use the latest version of iOS to make sure you have access to the latest Proxyclick features. You can view https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209574 to confirm if your existing iPad is compatible. On average, a brand-new iPad will be compatible with Proxyclick for approximately 3-5 years.
Our recommended device for experience, durability, and screen size is the base model iPad 7th Generation. It features a 10,2" screen and a sleek design with a very reasonable starting price for the 32GB model.
If you will only be using the device for Proxyclick, the 32GB storage option is enough to efficiently run our application.
