SM Keyboard includes SocketCam C820, a free camera-based scanning solution. The combination of SocketCam and SM Keyboard allows users to utilize their readily available smart device camera for scanning data into any application of their choice even if their data collection application does not support additional hardware scanners or CaptureSDK.
