This is an odd one...
I'm doing a web site for a client that sells rugs. Hand made and they weigh heaps.
I need to photograph them about 4-6 times a year as stock arrives. This means having a camera about 4m in the air. And frankly using a ladder is just not no I'll be at it for days.
What I need is a colour security camera that is WiFi that I can mount on the ceiling permanently. I've had a scratch about and haven't found one that is the right combination of zoom lens, PRICE and resolution.
Something between this...
http://www.at-fairfax.com/detail.php?id=157 which lack any remote control lens and
http://www.at-fairfax.com/detail.php?id=663&mnu=5#dn which is a bit light on in resolution.
Course while they are for a website I'd really like say 2-5mp so that can be used in print.
Maybe there are other options. So I'm fishing for more clues.
I am guessin you need to photograph the rug in its entirety for the purpose of showing the pattern, etc.
What about a conventional digital camera remote controlled via a pocket wizard? You would have to turn it on and set it and then you could come down and fire the camera via remote. If you plan things right, you would only have to make two trips up the ladder. 1 to set the camera and 2 to retrieve the camera.
Most cameras have a video out so you could monitor your positioning via a screen at floor level.
That is definitely an option.
But I'd like to make this something really simple so the client can do the work. I've shifted these rugs before. They must weigh 50+ kgs. I need set and forget with this one. Besides they need to be photographed as the stock arrives and I can promise to be available.
A fixed security camera with a wide angle zoom lens about 2-5mp and WiFi. for $500.
There is this stuff too... http://www.eye.fi/overview/
