Practical QR Code Workflows—Directly in the Camera

The FixedIT QR Code Decoder is an edge application for Axis cameras that detects and decodes QR codes and 1D barcodes in real time, directly in the camera. It enables practical workflows like searchable video, automated access control, and lightweight tracking—without adding hardware, subscriptions, or complex infrastructure.

The agent runs as a standard embedded ACAP application and can be configured with a diverse range of integrations and logic. No other hardware is needed, no servers and no cloud connection. Everything runs directly in the camera.

With the FixedIT QR Code Decoder, you can search for QR code data directly in the Axis Camera Station VMS.

Search for video by QR data

With the AXIS Camera Station integration, data from your scanned QR codes are made available directly in the VMS. Here you can search for a QR code and instantly review all videos where it was seen.

What This Solves

QR codes are already used everywhere—but in most systems they’re disconnected from video, access control, and operations data.

By decoding QR codes directly in the camera, you can:

  • Find video instantly using pallet IDs or shipment numbers
  • Grant or deny access at gates and doors without badges or keypads
  • Automate simple tracking and state monitoring without sensors

All using standard Axis cameras, running fully at the edge.

Want to Explore More Integrations and Automations?

The QR Code Decoder is a flexible application that can be integrated into your own systems.

Access control with the FixedIT QR code scanner in Axis ACAP for a gate controlling access of cars and trucks.

Customized access control of gates without exiting the vehicle is possible since the QR code only needs to cover a fraction of the view.

Truly scalable access control using your own existing management systems is possible due to the freely configurable integration with the FixedIT Data Agent.
