1. A drug preparation system comprising:
(a) a hood enclosure within which is a drug preparation zone;
(b) multiple spaced apart cameras located adjacent the hood enclosure, the cameras including lenses with different focal distances, at least one of the cameras operably zooming in on an image viewed within the drug preparation zone;
(c) a mounting block holding a syringe in a substantially horizontally elongated orientation during drug preparation in the hood enclosure;
(d) in real time, an interface using a video stream to view the syringe in the preparation zone and display information relating to a prescription; and
(e) a computer, connected to the cameras and the interface, operably validating a volume of the drug preparation to assist with determining compliance between the prescription and the drug preparation.
