Got an odd project coming up at work that involves the ability to take a photo of inbound packages in our warehouse. We don't want the camera being directly touched by anyone in there (a remote shutter button will suffice).
Essentially we want to mount the camera to the wall, looking directly downwards into a "booth", operative places a box in the booth and hits the remote shutter. This should then take a shot straight to either a directly connected PC, or one of our file-servers (or say, through a Raspberry Pi running a cron job daily).
Is this even doable with any current crop of low-end DSLRs? Is it even feasible to have the camera never turn off (and run from power rather than battery)?
Anyone have any suggestions, or alternative approaches?
