NT-1228BL Bluetooth 2D / QR Barcode Scanner

Great product has more functions than I need and does the job brilliantly and no cable to get in the way

After a couple of years using an eBay cheap-as-wet-socks scanner, we celebrated the 7,592nd time of accidentally dropping it on the floor and it finally giving up the ghost. Needed one quickly so to Amazon we went. Think we paid around £20, it doesn't show the cost on this review screen, but if it was, that means we've probably paid 3 times more than the old one. No issue with that as it feels comfortable in the hand and the button has a satisfactory "click" to it. The highlight for us, is it being wireless, we don't need to keep it on the edge of the table anymore like the old one due to cable length, meaning it shouldn't be dropped so often (I have hope!!). Battery life is good so far, we don't use it daily but it seems alright to me :) The little programming book is clear and concise and we've had zero issues with more difficult barcodes. TL;DR: scans barcodes very well, good battery, satisfying button clicking sound.

I purchased this scanner to be able to be wire free and to reliably read Barcodes of various qualities, To me this model has so far, been able to complete this function. Another need was to be able to reliably scan the barcodes on long stockist sheets and again this model achieves this. What it cant do is scan QR Codes. What is also good is the fact that you can interface with a Mac/ PC/ iPad using Bluetooth/Cable/Wireless. Another good thing with this scanner is that the battery will last for a large number between Charges. All in all a great value basic Barcode Scanner.

This works flawlessly with a sumup POS lite. Battery lasts a long time between charges and it reads the barcodes nice and quickly. Very easy to use and setup using the supplied book of mode barcodes. Nice size too, fits in the hand well.

Returned as it would not scan on either of my laptops with win10 and win11. Access to the web page shown on the enclosed leaflet was blocked by Norton. Why no customer support?

Not too bad, but disconnects from Bluetooth frequently. I've also had it not reconnect via Bluetooth automatically and it had to be removed from my devices and then re added. Otherwise it scans quickly and seems to work reliably.

Connects over Bluetooth to my iPhone and lets me scan barcodes directly into the inventory app I use for work. Comes with a booklet of barcodes you scan to change settings on the scanner, you will need to give it a flick through to find the right one for your use case. But after that it’s so quick and easy to use!! 😁

I initially ordered this scanner to make my own custom POS system. Initially, I connected through Bluetooth and it was recognised as a plug and play device. It was essentially a wireless keyboard which scans text, types it very fast and adds a ‘return’ key at the end. I was amazed to go to the support website and find tons of different ways to program this scanner and the most important one to me was that it supported Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). With this, I could connect directly to the app I was developing and send data back and forth from the barcode. One thing I’d like to see improved is a way to send and receive silent messages. Right now, I can request the scanner’s battery level by sending a code to the scanner but this trigger’s the scanner’s beep just like as if it was physically scanned. Of course, you could disable the beeper all together but that’s not what I want. I’d like to send and receive the battery messages silently and keep everything else audible. Still giving 5 stars but I’d like to see an improvement where specific messages can be silent
