Revision history [back]

If you need to do this on a budget then buy a cheap webcam with no auto-focus and glue one of the wide angle lenses you can get for mobile phones over the top of it. This will give you a good field of view but the quality will not be great.

The best camera I've used it a GoPro 4 but it's not easy to feed it into a computer live. I believe some of the knock off GoPro like cameras you can buy can be used as USB web-cams directly so that's probably worth looking into.
