ScanVidTop turns your iPhone into a scan-triggered video recorder. Point at a barcode or QR code and recording starts automatically โ€” perfect for proving what happened, when, and on which item. BUILT FOR REAL WORK Use it for warehouse operations, delivery handovers, retail audits, equipment inspections, quality checks, or any workflow where "scan + record" beats typing notes. KEY FEATURES โ€ข Scan to Record โ€” Detect a barcode or QR code and recording begins instantly. No taps, no fumbling. โ€ข Continuous Mode โ€” Scanning a new code automatically saves the current video and starts the next one. Work through a whole batch hands-free. โ€ข Single Item Mode โ€” Pause scanning while you record, resume when you stop. โ€ข Smart Code Rules โ€” Filter by code type, length, prefix/suffix or character set. Get alerts on duplicate scans instead of accidental re-records. โ€ข Projects & Industry Templates โ€” Create projects for Express (Code 128), Retail (UPC/EAN), and more. Each project carries its own scan and recording rules. โ€ข Watermark Every Clip โ€” Burn the scanned code and timestamp directly into the video, so footage speaks for itself. โ€ข Organized Records โ€” Browse by timeline, session or project. Search by barcode or note, batch export, edit or delete. โ€ข Wireless Desktop Backup โ€” Transfer recordings to ScanVidTop Desktop (free, macOS/Windows) over your local WiFi. Auto-backup, resumable transfers, safe cleanup. PRIVACY BY DESIGN All recordings are stored locally on your device and transferred only to your own computer over your local network.
