What camera to get for my dekstop? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Have you thought about using the camera on your phone as a desktop webcam over bluetooth? Might be a cool little project to try...

As far as the Logitech/Microsoft recommendations, they're fine as long as you don't plan to migrate to Linux at some point in the future... It's really tough to get some of those models working under that OS.

Here's a project that's trying to get this to work, but it seems to be USB-only: http://www.placaware.com/?page_id=67

You can also do real-time video streaming and recording using Qik over Android. Pretty fancy stuff... http://qik.com/
