+Redbox deployed a fleet of digital video signage displays on their kiosks back in 2021. These displays run Android and were used to run video advertisements for primarily TikTok. As of 2025, all kiosks no longer have an internet connection. As a result, these display units will fail to display anything, staying black forever. For this reason, many stores have began to unplug them.
These displays are housed in a custom, metal box. The back and front of the display unit are secured using the same Camlock-type locks as the main kiosk door uses. It's unknown if it's the exact key as the kiosk itself. Both lock cylinders are keyed for A keys.
Internally, these signs use displays manufactured by Videri. They are model number VDS-30, hosting a 32 inch display. This display is a self-contained unit and therefore has no IO, only accepting power via a proprietary connector. Due to this, there is no way to utilize the display unit as a monitor or TV without hardware modifications.
