Have a cheap camera that is in a mouse-like case.
Connects to the VCR input on the 900mm/30" TV monitor.
Lets call it a mouse camera.
Need to change/modify the lens on the camera.
Need the camera to be in focus at twice the current distance. So ~ 80mm rather than 40mm.
Current lense is maybe 2.5mm diametre.
Expert opinions sought.
Ideas from non-experts too. 😁

The failure of #Manufacturers to make their products #Accessible needs to be #Criminalised
Self regulation has clearly failed.
If they want to provide a faintly lettered overlay for those with excellent #Vision then they can.
But off the shelf products need to be #Accessible
