NFC Capture Pad
Most tablet devices do not natively support NFC. In order to leverage these devices on-site for projects using NFC badges the Visibility app has built-in support for a 3rd party capture pad. This device is manufactured by ACS and connects to the tablet via Bluetooth. The Visibility app will automatically connect to the device when this option is setup via the Setup section. Once connected any NFC badge scanned on the pad will display on the tablet.
Please visit the ACS website for ordering information for these devices.
