Visitor Station vs. a Mobile Tablet
VISITOR STATION PC VS A MOBILE TABLET
This is a list of the hardware peripherals that can be used when running the Gatehouse application for visitor management. The supported mobile tablet (see supported hardware list in Appendix 1) uses less hardware as most of the supported peripherals require a direct/wired USB connection to work.| GATEHOUSE PC | MOBILE TABLET | FUNCTION |
