Introducing SocketCam — High-Performance Camera-Based Scanning Solution
CaptureSDK includes FREE and PRO camera scanning capabilities.
You can now service all of your end-user needs with one SDK integration.
The C820 is free and utilizes the camera in the user's mobile device to act as a general-purpose barcode scanner. Directly integrated into CaptureSDK, SocketCam C820 gives you a free data capture interface for app development testing. SocketCam's user-friendly 1D/2D barcode scanning is also available to your app users at no cost. Free to integrate in your app, the C860 is an end-user subscription option offering superior scanning performance over the existing free C820.
