An inspection device for monitoring bottles includes a lighting unit, a color-sensitive camera, and a control-and-evaluation unit. The lighting unit is arranged above a transport path of bottles to be examined and has a light-source circuit-board having light sources that emit light having a light-source color. The control-and-evaluation unit changes the light-source color to a bottle color that is determined in a region of a mouth of a bottle.
