bcWebCam

bcWebCam is a lightweight camera utility tool that allows Windows PC users of all skill levels to automate the process of scanning barcodes directly from their desktop or laptop PC. Easily read item number barcodes (EAN 13 and EAN 8) using your webcam!

Because many PC users have a webcam, it can be very useful to have a working barcode reader app that can take advantage of the existing hardware and dramatically improve the workflow of inputting barcode entries into the local database, inventory management programs, or online search engines. 

This little BC web Cam program frequently does a good job, but it does require a bit more expensive webcams that can maintain focus when the objects and barcode labels are quite close to the camera lens. 

After a brief and painless installation procedure in which customers simply need to follow a few on-screen directions and ensure that their webcam is already connected to the PC and properly detected by the OS (with all of its drivers loaded), the barcode scanning process may begin. However, to fully utilize the bcWebCam, the software recommends that all operating procedures be followed. 

Users are advised to launch the app, check the camera feed using the built-in preview window, which will float on top of all other desktop apps, move the cursor to the desired location in other apps (browser text field, database cell, or inventory management program input area), and then bring the item or barcode sticker close to the camera. A sharp focus is required to accurately scan the barcode, which may be challenging for budget webcams that cannot focus on very close objects. Once the camera app has established a suitable focus, it will scan the code and put the data into the current cursor area.

Key Features

It recognizes a variety of barcode types, including QR codes, UPC, EAN, Code 39, Code 128, and many others. 
Real-Time Scanning: By utilizing your PC's webcam, it allows for real-time scanning of barcodes, resulting in quick and precise data acquisition. 
Users can modify a variety of options, including barcode recognition sensitivity, output formats, and automatic actions when a barcode is detected. 
Multi-Language Support: The software supports various languages, making it accessible to people all around the world. 
Export and Integration: Users can export scanned data to a variety of file formats or integrate it straight into other software applications.

Supports various barcode types

It provides extensive support for a variety of barcode types. The free edition supports the scanning of EAN and QR codes. The PRO1 edition adds support for linear barcode types like Code 128 ABC, Code 39, Code2/5, Code 128, Code 93, Code 11, PostNet, and GS1 DataBar. Additionally, the PRO2 edition supports 2D codes such as Data Matrix, PDF417, and Aztec. 

Once properly installed, the user may swiftly scan the barcodes as the software works in the background, continually seeking for a new barcode to automatically insert at the current cursor position. 

The bcWebCam's user interface is fairly plain, with an old-school "basic" Windows software design that became popular with the release of the now-very-old Windows XP. The majority of the software window is dedicated to the camera stream, with a barcode listing area at the top and a few control buttons at the bottom (Start/Stop, Settings, and Quit).

Installation and Setup

The method of installing this application is basic. Users can install the software by downloading it from the official website or Filesalad and then following the on-screen directions. After installation, users can customize their webcam settings and barcode recognition options via the settings menu.
