## What is AsCamera?

AsCamera is an app built with the "AsReader CAMERA Type" SDK.  Enables you to scan 1D and 2D barcodes at ULTRA-HIGH-SPEEDS, using only the built-in camera of your iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.

Also, by using our Laser Pointer Module (an Aimer that is an external smartphone accessory called "AsReader CAMERA Type"), barcodes can be targeted and scanned accurately, without looking at the screen. This solves a large negative point of using other soft scan solutions.
