NETUM Upgraded QR Industrial Bluetooth Barcode Scanner with Charging Dock, Wireless 2D 1D Bar Code Reader 2600mAh Drop Protection Shock Dust Proof Hands Free for Windows Mac Android iOS (NT-1200)

Great piece of equipment

Robust, compact and nice reading!

It is a slow scanner. Does not last. The built in battery died and it won't charge. Does not have a battery replacement option.

It’s an excellent product

I wanted a device that was "always on" and never turned off. usually i would have it on the docking station - but it only stays on for like 30 minutes and then shuts off.I purchased it for its "always on" feature. I must have mis interpreted the specs.

Scan really smooth

I selected this for a project that I am doing for one of my customers. They are looking for a solution for inventory and utilizing bar codes for inventory management and control.The unit is very well packaged and comes with a user manual that also contains bar codes for programming and resetting the device. I took the scanner out of the box, plugged it into my PC, and could start scanning bar codes right away. I could scan QR Codes, UPC Codes, ISBN Codes, and FBA bar codes.The default config for this device is for the PC to recognize it as a "keyboard" so it requires no special drivers to work - my PC installed a standard USB driver - that is it. I was able to use a handy card that came with it to put it in "automatic mode". This mode will scan a barcode once the scanner detects the barcode under it. I was able to do this successfully with UPC bar codes as well as several QR Codes. This mode would be especially useful in a retail store environment.As far as durability the unit does have a more rugged exterior but not quite as high quality as other, more expensive, industrial-grade scanners, but the unit could easily be used in a warehouse or shipping area where it is going to get tossed around and potentially fall on a warehouse floor.All in all, for the price that this is offered on Amazon it is a great value and was a breeze to install on my PC and was able to scan barcodes within 5 minutes of plugging it in. I recommend this product especially if your use case is in an office or light warehouse environment.

I tested this extensively with various 1D and 2D barcodes, including several, more obscure formats I created with Zint Barcode Studio. It was able to recognize and read all of them.As it common for this sort of device, you can configure it via scanning barcodes from the manual included with the scanner. I was able to find a PDF version of the manual online, as well. You can configure it to add a CR/LF or Tab after the scan by just scanning a barcode, for example. There is also a barcode to do a factory reset.The USB charging cradle worked fine, once you knew to tip the scanner forward when disconnecting.I didn't run into any issues when testing and using this scanner, it never failed to scan even when the barcode was off-axis or low contrast... For example, it worked flawlessly to scan the barcode on a soda can where the barcode was bare aluminum and the background was light yellow.Recommended.
