The present invention relates to a system and method for the imaging of surfaces of box like objects conveyed along a path. The objects are conveyed past at least one camera which is positioned at an angle to the object's surface. The at least one camera comprises a sensor array and zoom objective, the latter controlled by a control mechanism. The present system further comprises a control unit and at least one sensor. The sensor detects the location and velocity of an object. The data is conveyed to the control unit which further communicates with the control mechanism. The control unit causes the control mechanism to adjust the zoom on the objected so as to stay in constant focus with a passing surface of an object passing through the field of view of the at least one camera. After an object has passed through the field of view, the object is made to return to a home position.
