Microvision ROV – Bluetooth Storage Barcode Scanner Review
I am a programmer and web-designer. While working on a POS system for a client, I started to research Barcode scanners to integrate with in the system. After a lot of reading online reviews and discussing in several forums, I decided on the Microvision ROV – Bluetooth Storage Barcode Scanner. The results were excellent. Personally, I usually prefer to dazzle my customers with my programming skills, but great hardware doesn’t hurt either.
Installation
From opening the package to scanning my first item took about 15 minutes. Very easy and clear instructions. From there, integrating with my own program took about 30 minutes.
Functionality
I needed the scanner to be able to be used for sales as well as inventory and checking in stock. So, it had to be able to enter barcodes while connected and to store barcodes if used when not connected. This worked great. The scanner can be connected via serial, USB, or Bluetooth. When used near the terminal, it fed the barcodes directly into my software. When I ventured too far and it disconnected, it stored the codes and transferred as soon as the connection was re-established. It holds 4000 barcodes in memory.
The scanner runs on 3 AAA batteries, which for me is a plus over rechargeable units. You don’t want to have to stop inventory because your scanner needs to charge. The memory is non-volatile, so when the batteries die, you just pop in 3 more and continue working.
Conclusion
I highly recommend this scanner. After installing and integrating in my system, demonstrating to the customer, and getting feedback on his first week’s use, I am very satisfied with this product.
