video camera IV workflow and plastic coated chemotherapy vials

Has anyone found certain vials to be too shiny or blurry on camera for IV workflow verification?

Example NDC 16729-267-65: docetaxel has a plastic coating on the vial and we are having troubling viewing the vial in the camera system

Also vincristine is a small vial and it is difficult to see on camera

Does anyone have any tips that they can share to prevent having the pharmacist from gowning and garbing to review a wet check?
TIA
