Hello all, I am looking to add a camera to my new OMTech and was wondering how I figure out what camera I need to get and where to mount it.

I followed the steps in the software documentation and got a list of cameras that would work, but I’m unsure where I am supposed to measure from. According to a video I watched about the installation on a similar OMTech, there is not enough room to have it centered, so I need to put it at the front edge.
Do I measure the distance when the lid is open?
Is that the only time the camera will be accurate?
Will I not be able to put a piece in the cutter, close the lid, then set up the cutting process?

      Answer the three questions above
1.Yes, if you do not have adequate distance from material to camera.
2.Yes. The camera will only be accurate at a single distance and orientation to bed. This is true irrespective of  placement.
3.No, not if it's mounted on the lid and calibrated with the door open.
