Camera for monitoring a transfer

A method for monitoring and/or adjusting an apparatus for processing containers, the method comprising:

• processing, by at least one processing device which processes the containers in a predetermined manner, and
• transferring, by at least one transfer device, which transfers the containers to the processing device in a transfer region and/or to which the containers are transferred from the processing device in a transfer region,
• wherein by means of at least one inspection device at least in sections and completely at least a part of the transfer region is visually inspected at a time when no containers are being transferred, so that an interengagement of individual elements of the apparatus, including a time-dependent relative arrangement of elements of the transfer device relative to elements of the processing device, is observed, wherein the at least one inspection device inspects at least the part of the transfer region when the apparatus is outside a production mode and in a specifically provided configuration mode, and
• wherein the apparatus also operates in a configuration mode, in which individual processing steps, which are performed on the containers of at least one processing device during the usual production mode, are not carried out.
