Socket Mobile announces SocketCam C820, a Free Camera-Based Barcode Scanner

Socket Mobile announces the SocketCam family of software-based barcode scanners. The SocketCam C820 is the first member of the SocketCam family and turns any mobile device into a high-performance barcode scanner.

SocketCam C820 is fully supported by the latest version of Socket Mobile's highly regarded CaptureSDKTM. CaptureSDK has always provided Socket application partners with reliable and consistent data capture performance, enabling them to focus on the productivity of their solution and enhance the overall customer experience. However, prior to the C820 the end customer has needed to purchase a Socket scanner to experience the benefits of CaptureSDK. With the C820, these benefits are available on the customer's existing device, enabling a significantly bigger audience for Socket's data capture solutions.

As CaptureSDK supports the entire family of Socket data capture devices, once the developer incorporates CaptureSDK in their application, Socket Mobile's entire product line (barcode, RFID and NFC reader/writers) can be utilized. Application developers are challenged to service a wide range of customers with various data capture requirements, from the price-sensitive to the performance-sensitive, and even multiple data types. The addition of the C820 seamlessly enables these diverse requirements.
