Audit-certified security

RealVNC uses top-of-the-range security systems that are regularly updated. To make sure they’re fully secure, we also perform regular security audits. So, you can be sure that all your devices, data, and systems will remain secure when using our iPad remote assistance tools.

Multi-platform

As well as iPads, VNC Connect® can also be used with a wide range of other supported devices. Your support provider can complete remote access to an iPad from a PC that uses a Mac or Windows operating system and give you full platform remote iPad support. Even if they’re on the road, and only have their mobile device, VNC Connect works on iOS and Android operating systems, so support teams can always offer remote assistance for iPads, no matter where you, or they, are.

Feature-rich functionality

RealVNC offers a number of helpful features that are easy to find and use in our intuitive admin panel. File transfer and real-time chat are vital for remote work, but they can also be incredibly useful iPad remote support tools. Technicians can communicate with users through real-time chat to diagnose issues and explain fixes, while the file transfer feature can be used to send update or patch files to users and complete issue resolution.

An example of remote access to iPad use

VNC Connect for iPads isn’t just useful for support. Remote access to iPads can also be incredibly useful if you need to monitor multiple locations at once. 

One of our clients, dBControl Norway, helps to run enormous concerts and festivals by monitoring sound levels for compliance. Having worked with huge names, such as Rammstein, Elton John, and Justin Bieber, they’re in high demand.

In June 2022, dBControl was responsible for two major open-air festivals and a packed Alicia Keys concert, all of which were happening at the same time. 

By using VNC Connect installed on iPads, dBControl was able to run multiple sessions, with multiple display windows, through which they could monitor all the events at the same time. With the stable and secure RealVNC connections, they were able to make sure that all three huge, simultaneous concerts went off without a hitch.
