A method of verifying pharmaceuticals packaged within a pharmaceutical pouch using a pharmacy packaging system, the pharmacy packaging system including a feed roll for forming the pharmaceutical pouch, a dispenser configured to dispense pharmaceuticals into the pharmaceutical pouch formed by the feed roll, a camera system configured to capture images in a visible spectrum and an infrared spectrum, a first light source configured to output an infrared spectrum light, a second light source configured to output a visible spectrum light, and a processor communicatively coupled to the camera system, the first light source, and the second light source, the method comprising:

• activating, by the processor, the first light source to illuminate the pharmaceutical pouch;
• capturing a first image, by the processor using the camera system, of the pharmaceutical pouch while illuminated by the first light source;
• activating, by the processor, the second light source to illuminate the pharmaceutical pouch;
• capturing a second image, by the processor using the camera system, of the pharmaceutical pouch while illuminated by the second light source;
• generating, by the processor, a third image based on the first image and the second image;
• generating, by the processor, a dashboard to simultaneously display first images, second images, and third images from a plurality of pharmaceutical pouches, wherein the first images, the second images, and the third images are arrayed in a grid on the dashboard;
• providing a number of pills indication on the dashboard of a number of pills detected in the pouch against a number of pills expected in the pouch;
• and
• displaying the dashboard.
