Tera Barcode Scanner Wireless 2D QR with Stand: Pro Version Battery Level Indicator 2500mAh Industrial Grade Bar Code Reader Works with Bluetooth 2.4G for Windows Mac Android iOS 8100 Pro Green

I ordered this scanner and had problems with it charging and all the lights coming on. I contacted the company and reported the issue. Richard, from the support team, was extremely helpful and provided a replacement, which has been working great. I highly recommend the scanner, based on performance, features, and mostly a superb customer service. Kudos to Richard for outstanding service.

This is very easy to code for or integrate with an existing setup. I'm super-pleased with this. It ships in Bluetooth keyboard/HID mode, but you can swap to something like Bluetooth SPP mode so it does not interrupt other input activities on the host device. The manual includes very extensive settings codes and is relatively easy to understand. I ordered two different barcode scanners, and this one is the clear winner, by a long shot. The beep volume is adjustable (all the way down to zero, thank you!), it permits haptic feedback/vibration, it can be set in continuous mode, the grip is ergonomic, the scanning is significantly and consistently superior to the other one I tried (particularly on warped barcodes like with produce), and it even supports some pre-processing for however your system works (e.g. converting all letters to lower-case, or prepending or appending arbitrary/programmed text or a timestamp [a time sync tool [Windows] is freely available from customer support, who responded to me within a few hours on querying them by email; I should note their "a la carte" extra applications and documentation from customer support are in Chinese, but this is easy to work around in 2024). Additionally featured is camera inversion and continuous scanning mode, as well as the standard storage mode (holding codes to upload in a batch), among other settings. There are some missing features I'd like (which I am fully excusing due to the low price point of this scanner, but in case you need them): "memory" buttons to record certain config options and apply them with a single butotn-press, plug-in base so a physical cable doesn't need to be attached to the scanner (though not powering the base has benefits) and ability to send configurations or other data to the scanner over serial/SPP rather than scanning a config instruction. The latter closes out a good few programming routes; for example, it would be nice if the scanner could receive an ACK signal from my host device and otherwise either prevent or store subsequent scans until it gets the ACK signal, to prevent data loss or handle other advanced operations. Going back to how the device is powered for a moment, I should point out that because the hand scanner is powered by USB-C rather than taking power at the base, you could do something like stick one of those little USB batteries for phones to the hand scanner and use it that way if the scanner itself should run out of battery power; it's able to scan while charging. Odd aside, but I was amused how well the scanner works as a flashlight while I was going back and forth between pantry and workstation overnight. Overall, I'm very impressed with this tool and how easy it's been to program applications around it. Of course, if you are already using your own or someone else's software for this device, it should be a drop-in replacement for most due to its high number of connection modes.

I purchased this scanner as part of a project for my development team, where we focus on setting up QR codes and barcodes to enhance scanning capabilities within a manufacturing and production environment. Specifically, our role is to help manage inventory control and track parts when they are ordered. This scanner is a crucial tool we use to test and verify our labels before they’re presented to the operators on the production line. It’s been an essential part of our workflow, and I wanted to share my experience with it. One of the standout features of this scanner is its versatility. It offers multiple scanning functions, each tailored to different use cases, making it adaptable to various tasks within a production setting. Personally, I find the line scanning functionality to be the most useful. This feature allows me to scan a label and immediately see how it’s coded in real-time on my computer screen. It’s a huge time-saver, as it enables us to troubleshoot and confirm label accuracy on the spot, before we even present them to the operators. This efficiency has been a game-changer in terms of reducing errors and ensuring smooth operations. In addition to its scanning capabilities, the range and battery life of this device have been excellent. It maintains a strong connection even from a distance, which is vital in a busy production environment where you might need to scan from different angles or across a room. The battery life is impressive, lasting throughout an entire shift without needing a recharge, which is critical for maintaining productivity and minimizing downtime. While I know this product is geared towards a specific audience—such as teams involved in inventory management, logistics, or manufacturing—I've found it to be an invaluable tool for our operations. If you're working in a similar capacity or need a reliable scanner for quality control, testing, or real-time data tracking, I highly recommend this product. It’s a practical, well-built tool that can streamline your operations and improve accuracy in a fast-paced work environment.

It started off really good… I purchased this out of all of them because it durable but unfortunately after using it awhile it won’t stay linked up at first it was just the Bluetooth that kept disconnecting now it’s not working with the cord as well

My wife saw an idea somewhere of using a scanner to track things you have like in your tool cabinet, panty, etc., and loved the idea, so she got this. It was really easy to set up. The manual was a little intimidating since this is the first time we've ever tried using/setting up a scanner. A lot of options don't apply to us, but that means it has a lot of additional features we get to learn to use. In the manual there are options for storage mode vs real time mode. There are several volume options. You can even add a time stamp to your scans. Also, you can scan directly into a spreadsheet. From what she's read, if you had an inventory program it would work too. FYI the wireless version has a USB-A little nugget that is plugged into your computer. So if you only have USB-C you'll need an adapter. That's the case for us and it works just fine. Don't be intimidated by the setup. Just open up a spreadsheet and you'll get the hang of it. Thank you for reading, I hope it was helpful.
