I have a situation where I want to take digital photos (snapshots - not video) of the contents of boxes as they move along on a conveyor. I'm thinking that a photo would be taken at the same time that I scan in a barcode that's on the side of the box. I'd then associate the barcode with the .jpg image file and store it on a computer's hard drive for later manual viewing.
Does anyone know of a camera that can be set up such that I can take the picture under computer control and that can then immediately send the resulting picture to the computer?
Any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
