RT870W Outdoor QR Code Reader Module: IP67 Waterproof & Sunlight Readable embedded 2D Scanner
RT870W is a high-performance embedded 2D and QR code reader designed for outdoor kiosks. Engineered with an industrial-grade IP67 waterproof rating, ultra-low power consumption, and under sunlight readability, it ensures reliable scanning from day to night, from indoor to outdoor. In addition, it’s also featured by high-speed motion tolerance and the capacity to decode almost all types of bar codes, including QR code, Aztec, MaxiCode, Data Matrix, PDF417, EAN code, etc. It is the ideal solution for outdoor vending machines, smart lockers, parking systems, and access control terminals.
Features
- All-Weather Reliability: Industrial-grade IP67 sealing provides complete protection against heavy rain, dust, and high humidity without needing extra housing.
- Anti-Glare Technology: Effortlessly reads barcodes from glossy smartphone screens and paper, even under direct sunlight.
- Eco-Efficient Design: Optimized ultra-low power profile minimizes heat buildup and extends operational life, making it ideal even for solar or battery-powered systems.
- Universal Decoding: Omnidirectional scanning of all standard 1D and 2D barcodes, including QR Code, Data Matrix, and PDF417.
- High-Speed Response: Advanced high-sensitivity detection ensures near-instant decoding for high-traffic applications.

Industrial-Grade IP67 Waterproof
To ensure mission-critical reliability, the RT870W underwent rigorous lab testing, remaining fully operational after being submerged in water for 30 minutes. This high-level sealing ensures the scanner can withstand heavy rain, high humidity, and harsh outdoor environments, eliminates the need for expensive protective enclosures in outdoor deployments.
Readability Under Direct Sunlight
Outdoor scanning often fails due to glare, but not with the RT870W. In this test, the scanner demonstrates its ability to instantly read QR codes from both smartphone screens and paper under intense, direct sunlight. Its advanced optical sensor and optimized decoding algorithm eliminate the common “blindness” caused by high-contrast ambient light, ensure a seamless user experience at any hour..
Ultra-Low Power Consumption for Sustainable Energy
Designed for energy efficiency, the RT870W features an intelligent trigger mode that minimizes standby current. As the lab data indicates, its low power profile makes it the perfect choice for solar-powered or battery-operated systems or any other system that require lower power consumption. Integrate high-speed scanning into your equipment without worrying about excessive power drain or heat buildup.
Seamless Integration
We facilitate your development process with comprehensive technical resources, including 3D drawings (STEP), detailed integration guides, and user manuals. Additionally, we provide a metal bracket (optional) and a rubber pad (to protect the gap between the RT870W and your terminal’s panel).
