Hi everyone! I'm in need of a camera recommendation that fits some specific technical criteria. Here's what I'm looking for: it should support PoE (Power over Ethernet), have an IP67 rating or higher, deliver a 12MP resolution, feature motorized or adjustable focus (no fixed lenses, please), and preferably include optical or electronic image stabilization. The camera is intended for a robotic system that will be subjected to frequent vibrations while moving over bridge tensioners and structural elements. Additionally, it needs to focus on objects around 10 cm away. Any suggestions for an industrial PoE camera with interchangeable lenses suitable for close-range inspections?

Look up "IP67 industrial inspection camera with PoE" to find specialized options. Just a heads up—this might be a bit pricey. If budget is tight, ArduCam could be a feasible alternative.
You might want to check out Axis Cameras; they’re pretty reliable and versatile for various conditions.
We switched to Avignon cameras, and while they may be on the pricier side, they come with a 10-year warranty. We had a few issues initially, but their RMA process was smooth and the cameras work well.
If you're in the US, something like the Axis Q63 series could be a great fit. It's designed for robust applications like yours.
For your specific close-range needs and vibration issues, I'd lean towards an industrial model from Dahua or Hikvision with a varifocal lens. They handle movement quite well.
