Kiosk Not Scanning QR Codes

Last updated on Apr 25, 2026

Common Causes

Screen Brightness

The most common issue. Ensure the visitor's phone screen brightness is at maximum. Low brightness makes QR codes unreadable.

Camera Access

  1. Go to iPad Settings → Privacy → Camera
  2. Ensure KyberAccess Kiosk has camera permission enabled

Lighting

  • Avoid direct sunlight on the kiosk screen (causes glare)
  • Ensure adequate ambient lighting (too dark = poor scan)
  • Consider an anti-glare screen protector

QR Code Quality

  • Cracked or scratched phone screens can distort QR codes
  • Printed QR codes must be at least 2cm x 2cm
  • Ensure the QR code is not partially covered

App Update

Ensure the KyberAccess Kiosk app is updated to the latest version from the App Store.

  1. Force-quit the app (swipe up from bottom, swipe app away)
