The Koamtac KDC 470Ci SmartSled is a 2D imager Bluetooth scanner that is adaptable to numerous Apple iOS (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad),Android, and Windows mobile devices (different holders/bases are purchased separately). When used in conjunction with Mobile RecTrac, the KOAMTAC KDC 470CiSmartSled allows for mobile check-in processes including, Pass Visit Processing and Access Tickets.
Vermont Systems recommends the Koamtac unit as a superior alternative to the Honeywell Captuvos due to the Koamtac's flexibility and ease of use. A single unit can be attached to and paired with mobile devices of varying size, thus allowing you to use a single unit at different locations with different mobile devices, provided your events are not taking place simultaneously. If you are interested in pursuing the Koamtac option, you should purchase a single unit directly from Koamtac for testing purposes in your environment and then purchase additional units as needed if the initial tests work well.
Vermont Systems does not sell the Koamtac KDC 470CiSmartSled and therefore our support of the unit will be limited. The purpose of this document is to walk you through the initial setup of the unit for both MaciOS, Android and Windows.
