Will a barcode scanner scan a photo of a barcode taken on a digital camera?

Question

I am a vending machine repair engineer, my company are bringing in a system to scan the barcode at the beginning and end of the job to clock our times which means we will have to work longer hours rather than just doing the jobs then going home, what i want to know is if the scanner will scan a digital camera photo of the barcode?

Answer 1

If you drive a company truck or use a company cell phone they already probably track you via GPS (or could easily do so).

If you value your job, you will play by their rules.

In tough economic times, you are easily replacable--keep that in mind.

BTW: I applaud your thinking anyway--Big Brother Sucks!
