I hacked a Creative Labs VF0070 Webcam last night.
This camera has some good specs for MT:
1. Flat profile with handy top clip (good for shooting upward)
2. Wide angle lens
3. USB 2.0
4. 640x480, 30FPS
The software also has many manual settings:
1. Color/Compression
2. Output Size
3. Frame Rate
4. Auto exposure can be disabled
5. Brightness, Contrast, Sharpness, Gamma
6. Banding Filter
7. White Balance
8. Image can be flipped vertically and horizontally
9. Tracking mode can be disabled
10. Digital zoom and panning
And of course the IR filter can be removed. Although I had to break it and it was challenging to disassemble the case.
