There's too much gear to document that way. I find paper much easier.
With a camera you have to be sure to shoot each knob from straight on
so that the perspective doesn't affect your recall. And then wehn
doing the recall it's easier to stand there with a piece of paper in
your hand rather than going back and forth to the computer monitor or
looking at a tiny digital camera monitor.

You use the camera to take one picture of the front of the unit, and
therefrom you prepare an image template file that you can print out and
use at your convenience.

Reminds me of the method Brian Eno used way back when.
He had some sort of camera/overhead projector system
that could take a shot of the console from overhead,
then later reproject that image back onto the console.
You could then turn the knobs to match the positions
from the projected image.
