Hi all! I'm new here, trying to figure out what kind of camera I need to shoot the process of packing items from a distance of 3-5 feet, so that small inscriptions, for example from a jar of jam, can be clearly seen. Do I need a varifocal camera or can I get a fixed one? Now I have Annke 4k ac800, but this camera cannot focus at such a small distance, no matter what I do and what settings I set. I would be grateful for any help! Thx
4K camera for shooting from a distance of 3-5 feet

Not an expert but I am guessing the first questions will be about how much lighting is available and how fast the items are moving.
I am assuming this is some kind of automated production line?
Oh, and

Someone with more smarts than me should be along shortly with some suggestions, this is a very active forum.
Just off the top of my head it seems like a Dahua camera that you would use for LPR (License Plate Recognition), might be the answer. A camera like this is designed to do one thing well. Focus on a small area and high resolutions.

Not even remotely related to your application but when testing a Dahua T5842T-ZE that I use at a pond, I was able to get pretty clear focus down to about 5 or 6 inches. 3 to 5 feet would be easy to get focus but not sure about resolution if type is very small.
Thank you very much for the advice! Just bought this camera and its perfect for my needs.
