A camera barcode scanner consists of a standard lens camera with auto-focus capabilities (attached to a computer) combined with a software decoder, which Windows dynamically pairs to create a fully functional barcode scanner for WinRT apps.
Note
The software decoder built into Windows 10/11 is provided by Digimarc Corporation. Requires Windows 10 Version 1803 or later.
