As far as I know, USB webcams are fair game. Even the fantastic Microsoft Kinect is allowed (you should look into that. It can see in infrared without an additional halo light, and see in 3D (i.e. allow you to easily gather the distance to an object)). Here's an awesome paper on it if you would like to go that route :)
