Deliveries and stock
Read the code on a parcel or a box as it passes the camera, and keep a timed record of what arrived and when. No one has to stop and scan.
Included in every license · World's first
Any camera becomes a QR scanner.
VISEC reads QR codes straight from the camera picture. No scanner to buy, no extra software, and it can run an action the moment it reads one. We built the world's first software to read and decode QR codes directly from a camera stream.

How it works
Camera sees a QR code → VISEC decodes it → logs the result → runs the action you chose.
It works on the video stream itself, so an ordinary IP camera you already own does the job. Analog cameras connected through a video server work too, and so do ordinary USB cameras.
Nothing extra to buy.
A handheld scanner reads a code when somebody walks over and pulls the trigger. A camera is already pointed at the door, the gate or the bench — and it never goes home at five.
Because the reading happens on the stream, the same camera keeps recording, keeps detecting motion and keeps reading number plates at the same time. One program, one camera, one license.

Where it helps
Everyday uses.
Anywhere a code already exists and somebody is currently writing things down.
Passes and tickets
A visitor holds a code up at the door or the gate and VISEC can trigger the action you set — including releasing a lock or lifting a barrier.
Equipment checks
Put a code on a machine, a cabinet or a fire point. Every time it is shown to the camera, the check is logged with the time it happened.
Staff and contractors
A code on a badge or a phone becomes a record of who reached which door, on a camera that was going to be recording anyway.
Workshops and production
Codes on jobs, trays or pallets are read as they move past a fixed camera, so the log follows the work instead of somebody's notebook.
Collection and returns
The code on a customer's confirmation is read at the counter or the hatch, and the moment is on video as well as in the log.
Setting it up
Minutes, not an install project.
- Add the cameraPress scan and VISEC finds the ONVIF cameras on your network. A camera somewhere else can be added by address.
- Point it where the codes appearThe door, the gate, the counter, the bench. A code fills more of the picture the closer it is, so put the camera where people naturally hold it up.
- Switch QR reading on for that cameraIt is a setting on the camera, not a separate product to install or license.
- Choose what happens on a readLog it, record it, email it, or drive a camera output to open a gate or unlock a door.
What your PC needs
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, with 8 GB of memory. The installer is about 30 MB to download and roughly 200 MB once installed.
The AI features run best on a graphics card with 4 GB and DirectX 12, preferably Nvidia. Without one, VISEC uses the processor instead — slower, but it works.
Recordings stay on your own drive. For four or five cameras, a 500 GB drive typically holds three to four months of motion recording.
And it opens things
A code can do more than get written down.
VISEC drives access control through the inputs and outputs already built into ONVIF and Axis cameras, so a QR read can release a lock, lift a barrier, switch on a light or sound a siren. The same wiring a card reader would have used, triggered by a code on a phone instead.

Questions
QR reading, answered.
Is QR reading really included in the free license?
Yes. The free one camera license is the complete program, and QR reading is part of it, alongside plate recognition and access control. There is no trial clock, no card and no email address to hand over.
Do I need a special camera or a QR scanner?
No. VISEC reads the code out of the video, so any camera that gives it a picture can do it — 99% of ONVIF IP cameras, analog cameras through a video server, and ordinary USB cameras. There is no scanner hardware to buy and nothing to plug in.
Where should the camera go?
Wherever people will hold the code up: a door, a gate, a counter, a bench. The code needs to be a reasonable size in the picture, so a camera close to where it is presented does better than one across the yard. A higher-resolution camera gives you more room to work with.
Can a QR code open a gate or a door?
Yes. VISEC can drive the digital outputs built into ONVIF and Axis cameras, so a read can release a lock, lift a barrier or switch something on. The camera needs those output terminals, and they need to be wired to whatever you want to operate.
Is the reading kept anywhere I can go back to?
Every read is logged with its time, next to the recording from the camera that made it, so you can see the code and the moment it was presented.
Does anything get sent to a cloud service?
No. VISEC runs on your own Windows PC and the recordings and the log stay on your drive. There is no subscription and nothing to sign up for.
Can one camera read QR codes and number plates at once?
Yes. The features are part of the same program, so a camera can record, watch for motion, read plates and read QR codes together. What limits you is the PC, not the license.
How many cameras can I run?
One on the free license. Paid licenses are a one-time purchase covering more cameras, with no subscription — see the licenses.
Try it on one camera, free.
QR reading is included in every VISEC license, including the free one camera license. Nothing expires.
