You need a tablet or touchscreen PC, an internet connection, and a few minutes to create an account, install the app, and customize the settings. Here is a complete step-by-step guide to get you started. ## Hardware You Need for Digital Visitor Registration To manage your visitors digitally, you don’t need much. With nothing more than a tablet or a computer you can already get started. Place your tablet in a tablet mount or stand and add a label printer, and you’ve got the perfect set-up. ### Tablet or Computer The [visitor management system](https://vizito.eu/visitor-management-system/) Vizito can be installed on any Apple iPad built after 2015. Most customers opt for the regular 10.9 inch iPad (10th generation model 2025). For Android, we recommend devices built after 2018 for optimal compatibility. Most of our customers opt for Samsung tablets, such as the Samsung Galaxy tab A 10.1 (SM-T510). No tablet at hand? No worries: you can also use a PC with touchscreen to run the app. We recommend using a system lockdown application to protect the PC from unwanted access, such as [KioWare](https://www.kioware.com/). ### Tablet Mount for a Professional Reception Setup To integrate the tablet smartly into your reception area, you can use a tablet mount, such as [Bouncepad](https://bouncepad.com/products/counter-for-vizito). You can opt for a desktop model, wall mount or floor stand. ![Bouncepad](https://vizito.eu/images/blog/bouncepad.png?width=1100) ### Label Printer for Visitor Badges If you want to print badges for your visitors, you will also need a label printer. We recommend [this Brother label printer](https://www.brother-usa.com/products/ql820nwbc). _Here is a link to the [hardware required for a visitor management system](https://vizito.eu/hardware/)._ ## Five Steps to Set Up Digital Visitor Registration Installing a [digital visitor management](https://vizito.eu/visitor-management-system/) system doesn’t take long.

A unique code will be shown that you’ll need to activate the device. Leave the Vizito app open and the device active.

You can choose visitor types, fields that should be shown in the app, and adjust the app to your branding. #### Layout Customization - Choose a photo for the login and logout screen - Choose a photo or video for the splash screen - Choose colors for the various buttons in the app - … The Vizito team can help you providing photos to personalize the app. To make the most out of your digital visitor registration app, you may want to explore [corporate web design services](https://www.digitalsilk.com/web-design/corporate-website-design/) to ensure your system’s interface is professional and user-friendly. #### General Settings - Choose which languages you want to welcome your visitors in - Set email and text message notifications - Use QR codes for faster sign in and sign out - Privacy settings - … _More information about [privacy settings in Vizito](https://vizito.eu/faq/account/privacy/)._ #### Visit Types Configuration By default, one visit type is active and enabled. You’re free to add more visit types, like for instance ‘supplier’ or ’employee’. In the Vizito app, the visitor will be prompted to select their corresponding visit type. ![configure visit types](https://vizito.eu/images/blog/visit_types.png?width=1100) You can configure these visitor types separately. For example, you can show a different welcome message for each type of visitor, choose whether documents should be signed, and whether a badge should be printed. More information on [visit types](https://vizito.eu/faq/get-started/visit-types/). #### Integrations with Business Tools You can integrate the app with the applications you use within your company, such as Google Workspace, eID integration, Slack, Teams or KioWare QR code scanner. More information on [Vizito integrations](https://vizito.eu/faq/integrations/). A complete overview of all settings in the Vizito app can be found in the [Vizito Help Center](https://vizito.eu/faq/get-started/settings/). ### Step 5: Lock Your Tablet in Kiosk Mode Make sure to lock your tablet in kiosk mode so that visitors will only have access to the registration app. This will prevent users from changing settings or using the tablet for other purposes.
