SiteKiosk Description

Complete kiosk software solution which protects public access internet terminals

This feature-packed package is designed for public access stations and turns any PC into a kiosk. Users can only access sites, applications, and settings you approve through a shell you design. You can command SiteKiosk and extend its functionality via scripts, objects, and ActiveX controls, or simply configure it with wizards. Wizards let you assign individual access rights and export profiles to new users.

On start-up, SiteKiosk replaces the current system shell with its own. You determine start and search pages, screensavers, applications to run, e-mail, downloads, surfing, keyboard, and even touch-screen control. You can schedule to reboot and shut down to maintain your terminal. The SiteCash plug-in lets you charge customers, using all kinds of payment devices.

The software uses Internet Explorer as its basis but presents a much simplified interface that even the novice user will understand.

Some of the features included: Multiple-window support, multilanguage support, automatic dial-up or network connection, event-logging, download manager, favorites, Web site filtering (with automatic updating), remote management, payment options, and video and photo e-mail, excellent online help.

The SiteKiosk Object Model provides a huge number of objects and ActiveX controls to manipulate the whole application by means of a script!

The strongest benefits of this software at a glance:

Automatic and maintenance-free operation of your kiosks 24/7
SiteKiosk safeguards each machine as soon as it boots up against any manipulation and ensures that the machine will run without a hitch 24/7. BIOS settings can be used to automatically switch the computer in the morning. You can leave the rest to SiteKiosk as it can shut down the machine at any time in the evening or at night. Installing additional virus protection software is not necessary. You can use SiteRemote to conveniently maintain your machines from a remote location.

Integrated and adjustable secure browser
SiteKiosk's integrated kiosk browser is based on Microsoft's Internet Explorer and is capable of displaying the same content such as Web pages, images (.gif, .jpg, .png, and .bmp), videos, Flash and PDF files, etc. The difference between this browser and Internet Explorer is that SiteKiosk's integrated browser leaves it up to you which features and Web sites you allow your users to access and what the visible interface is supposed to look like. For instance, SiteKiosk allows you to completely redesign all buttons (SiteKiosk Object Model) or display content in fullscreen mode.

Hardware components
Out of the box, SiteKiosk already includes support for a wide range of hardware components including card readers, motion sensors, webcams, coin acceptors, bill readers, scanners, etc. This allows you to respond to the requirements of any project in a quick and flexible manner.
Issues with Public-access systems
"A public-access computer must both be very easy to operate and provide protection against vandalism."

Most people immediately think of physical damage when they hear the term "vandalism". However, a more serious concern with kiosk terminals exist, called "computer vandalism". Computer vandalism involves the manipulation of the operating system and critical files/folders, causing the terminal to malfunction. The result of this occurrence ranges from loss of revenue, damage to the company's reputation and administrative costs for repairs.

User Manipulation
An example of unacceptable user manipulation is turning on High Contrast mode, which changes the colors and resolution of your screen, affecting the usability of the kiosk terminal. Try it yourself by pressing the keys LEFT-ALT + LEFT SHIFT + PRINT SCREEN simultaneously and followed by OK (reset the monitor's settings by pressing this key combination again). Though it may seem harmless and not as serious of an issue as crashing the operating system, it still can have the same results. If a customer does not know how to undo the effects of this key combination, it will prevent the user from using the terminal, causing loss of revenue and damage to the company's reputation.
To ensure the safety and security of these terminals, you will need to employ kiosk software that guarantees the operation and protection of your systems 24/7. SiteKiosk software offers the following critical security

Features:

* Monitors and protects the operating system against manipulation by computer vandalism and hacking
* Secures system drives, folders and files from unauthorized access
* Protects the terminal against most viruses, trojans, and destructive scripts
* Allows access to programs and applications specifically authorized by the administrator
* Deactivates undesired function keys and system critical key combinations
* Restrict or prohibit the downloading of files from the Internet
* Allows administrators to define which domains/URLs the user is allowed to access and restrict undesirable websites
* Automatically processes program restarts in the event of software error
* Deletes user data at the end of each session
* Logs out automatically after extended periods of inactivity
* Closes any open windows and programs at the end of each session
* Automatically updates software
* Schedules date and times of system restarts and shutdowns
* Logging and saving all user interaction

SiteKiosk also has a wide range of additional functions which will allow you to customize this kiosk application to suit your individual needs and requirements. All you have to do is decided what content you want to display and leave the rest to the SiteKiosk software.
