Re: New Camera in Budget, What model and why

Our webcam ran at about 24 fps without an issue last year.

However, I'll warn you that the contrast adjustment on the 1011 and 1013 are not nearly as good as the older 206. In the past, you could hold a white sheet up in front of the camera and get it to hold the contrast so low that everything would appear dark except the really lit-up areas. The 1011 and 1013 will hold this until you repower the camera, then they reassert some low-default value. If you want the same effect on the newer cameras you'll have to put some type of filter (like a sunglass lens) over the front of it.
