Open a browser tab, plug in a USB webcam and scan the label. The order opens, the recording starts and the video is saved to that order.
The packer never touches the computer. The label starts the recording, the next label finishes it.

Recording
Show the next label to finish. Press M at an important moment (a serial number, a fragile item) to find it later in one click.
Hold the shipping label or packing slip under the webcam, or scan it with a USB scanner. PallasMark finds the order across your connected stores and shows it on the screen with the buyer's name.
Ready

As soon as the order is found, recording starts, in 1080p at up to 30 frames a second. The order's products are listed beside the video so the packer can tick off what goes in the box.
Scan the next order's label and the current recording is finished and saved, and the next one starts, without reopening the camera. Product barcodes and the same order's label never split a recording.
Press M when a serial number, a fragile item or the seal is in view. The moment is bookmarked on the order's video, so anyone reviewing a claim jumps straight to it instead of scrubbing through the whole take.

Key moments
Every recording is written to the computer as it is made and uploaded from a queue. A lost connection, a closed tab or a restart never loses a recording or uploads it twice; the queue picks up where it left off.
A computer, a USB webcam above the table and a browser. Open the station, pick the camera and check that it reads a label.
Packing station camera setup: webcam, security camera or phone?
A clamp arm pointing straight down keeps both hands free and the box, the item and the label in one frame.
Roughly 0.6 to 1 meter of bench in view is enough to read a label and see every item go in.
The station records in 1080p or 720p. Pick the camera and microphone in station settings; they are remembered on that computer.
Soft light from above keeps glossy mailers and labels readable. Avoid a window behind the table.
The webcam reads QR codes, Code 128, Code 39, EAN/UPC, ITF-14 and Data Matrix on its own. A USB scanner works alongside it if you already have one at the bench.
Show FINISH, CANCEL or PAUSE to the camera to control the station without touching the keyboard.
Use the station at fixed packing tables and the phone app everywhere else. Both save to the same order, with the same fingerprint, verification page and evidence PDF.
For a fixed table that packs all day. Hands-free, the same framing on every order, and the label starts each recording.
For packing that moves: a second bench at peak, receiving at the dock, a returns table. Every phone on the team records.
Packing station software records a video of each order as it is packed at a fixed bench and files the video under that order, so it can be shown later as proof of what shipped. PallasMark's packing station runs in the browser with any USB webcam: scanning the shipping label opens the order and starts the recording, scanning the next label finishes it, and every file is uploaded to the order and sealed with a SHA-256 fingerprint.
A computer with a current browser, a USB webcam above the packing table and a PallasMark account. A USB barcode scanner is optional: the webcam reads labels on its own. There is nothing to install.
Yes. When the scanned code matches an order, recording starts on its own. You can switch that off in station settings and start with the Space key instead. Scanning the next order's label finishes the current recording and starts the next one.
Yes. A USB scanner that types the code works alongside the webcam, and you can turn either one off in station settings. Codes can also be typed by hand.
Packing continues. Each recording is saved on the computer while it is made and uploaded from a queue once the connection is back. A closed tab or a restart does not lose a recording, and nothing is uploaded twice.
The station says so and offers to create the order from that code with the buyer's name and the product, then records it. If a code matches more than one order, the packer picks the right one.
No. The packing station comes with every PallasMark workspace, and a second or third table adds no station fee. Orders recorded at a station count toward your plan exactly like orders recorded on a phone.
Yes. In a workspace with brands, each station is set to a brand and a facility, so orders created at the bench land under the right client.
Yes. Both record into the same orders, with the same fingerprint, verification page and evidence PDF. Many teams run stations at fixed tables and phones at receiving, returns or overflow benches.
Create a workspace, open the station in your browser and scan your first label.
