Abstract: A device (10) for visually monitoring products (P), includes at least one conveyor (14) having at least one belt (16) carrying the products (P) in one direction (S) towards a visual monitoring unit (18), and an element for launching (30) products (P) through the visual monitoring unit located at the end (22) of the conveyor in the direction thereof (S), the visual monitoring unit including an image-capturing device and an optical device, wherein the capturing device is a single camera, having a sensor line and axis, pointing towards the path of the products through the optical device, which includes at least one mirror located behind the path of the launched products relative to the exposure station of the camera. A double periscope is inserted between the camera and the path of the products, and at least two sets of mirrors are installed symmetrically on either side of the axis.

Abstract: A device (24) for automated visual monitoring of products, in particular products of elongated shape, having at least one longitudinal axis (10) and advancing essentially continuously in a direction A that is essentially parallel to their longitudinal axis (10), whereby guiding elements (26) keep the products during their passage in the field C by visual monitoring elements (28), the automated visual monitoring device (24) being characterized in that the guiding elements (26) include at least one slot (34) that is aligned with at least one reflective surface (32) that is arranged in the field C of the visual monitoring elements (28) behind the site of passage of the products.
