My customer needs 4 cameras looking at 4 conveyor lines. The camera will be looking at labels on the product from about 6-8ft away. Each camera is going to be viewed from its own monitor via CAT5 and baluns, and no DVR.
2.8-12mm cameras do not get close enough. They want to see a really close up view of these labels, kind of like a casino would look really close at a blackjack players hand.
Also, after trying out the 2.8-12mm cameras we had, we noticed the light above the conveyors was washing out the labels. All you see is white. I need to be able to access the OSD from the camera itself to set contrast, brightness, etc.
What type of cameras would you guys recommend that will give me this close up view and also allow me to access the OSD? Cameras that dont need a special controller/remote are preferred, but Ill still use one if required.
Thanks!
