I want to video my commerical embroidery machines working...so the camera will only be about 3 feet away-is that too close for this?

This camera has a wide angle lens, so it may distort it some what but not so much as disrupt what you're try to flim. And at 3 feet you should be in good shape. I've run accross a few Youtube videos where it is used a closer distances then 3 feet.

Michele, you should have no problem with that distance. I have used it the camera as close as 3" and as far as 50 yards.Good luck.

Hey, the distance is okay because I video my boy sleeping by fixing the camera on the edge of his bed, it's about 60 cm away from him and it works well.

Hi, A good question, so I set my Brinno up on the kitchen bench and filmed my wife making a coffee. The video was clear and I was able to read the writing on my coffee cup which was about a foot away. A word of warning though; at the short distance there is warping of anything straight at the side of the video. The window behind the coffee machine had a bow in it at the edge of the video but as these are really designed for lanscapes and have such a wide field of view that would not matter. Hope this helps.

Not very far. Maybe ten feet not even. This isn't a professional mic by any means really, just a slightly better substitute to your internal camera mic.

I depends. In my house, I have one camera up to 80 Ft away from the monitor without any reception issues even with some walls between them.

A lot depends on lighting. In the house, about 10 - 15' away under good lighting conditions & no backlight (behind the object) to skew the video. Under dim lighting, it's hard to capture a good image from any length. The video is grainy at best.

Not sure. Our camera is motion sensitive and used when we are away so we are not doing much recording (we hope).

I'm trying to post a close-up taken with the macro. I was about 2 inches away, the camera focused very well, and you can see details expected of about 10x- and very clear.

I did not have good luck with this camera. It did not work for me, no reception for a very short distance 25' or so. I think it is quite fragile also. You may have better luck but be prepared (I returned mine). Shame, too, because this is really what I need and i've yet to find an equivalent product. If you have suggestion please post.

we only used the supplied cables. I think you may need a booster to extend cable that far. I would consider wireless if there is power available to the camera.

Only very close - perhaps 3 - 5 feet - I tried from across a large room and could not get it to work

If you do, the voltage drop will be quite a lot, and the camera might not work. For runs more than 10 ft you should use an active injector / splitter

It doesn't give you that great of pictures that far away. You need a pinhole camera for what you are thinking about doing. But remember spying is illegal! !!

Focus wise it can be as close as less than 6 feet for my eyes (I think it depends on viewer's eyesight). However, the real problem is the images from two eyes don't over lap very well when the object is this close. If you want to observe something that close, Pentax Papilio is designed for that purpose and has very good reputation.

I would have to agree with the other coments. This is more of a monitorng/security camera. I would not use this camera in a business enviroment.

Our offices are on the second floor of a house and the farthest away we have the video monitor is about 50'. I haven't tried to see how far away it can work. The instructions that come with it are vague and difficult to understand so I don't remember if that information was included.

The camera works very well, and it will work good for about 1/4 to a half mile away. Hope this helps!!

The video should be fine. But you may need a power source closer to the camera.

It would work for video. The distance between the subject and reflector matters, not the camera and reflector
