Hi everyone,

we are currently running the Mews Kiosk app on an iPad for self check-in. Guests scan their QR code using the built-in iPad camera.

We would like to know if it is possible to use an external QR/barcode scanner instead of the internal camera, for example via USB or Bluetooth.

Has anyone successfully used a scanner in HID/keyboard wedge mode with the Mews Kiosk app?

Or is the QR scanning functionality hardcoded to the iPad camera only?

Any experiences or supported hardware recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dennis
