Hallo!
If you're on mac, firewire cam or dec would of course be good ( don't try it on linux...)
why not on linux? I also used a firewire cam with gem+pdp on linux ... it works fine!

On pc/linux I'd use an old box, a bttv card and a security cam - perfect res, 30fps, and fantastic zoom :) also latency is propably lowest as possible ( even on the mac you'll still have to decode the dv stream) bttv cards do about 12 euro second hand in the netherlands.

I hope this is not too OT, but I'm working on a project where PD/ GEM is going to be used for interpretation of a tree's movement caused by wind. Basically a camera will be used to record a tree, this will be made

The movement from the tree will be the basis for triggering aDoes anyone have any recommendations regarding a camera/webcam that
doesn't cost too much and which is capable of recording 30fps with a fairly good resolution? It also needs a zoom lens as the tree will be a bit far away from the camera.i think your requirements does not fit with low cost equipment. i
don't know about a [web]cam that has good zoom and is able to record
30f and is cheap. there will be two ways: 1) buy an (external)
capture card and a monitoring cam (high latency). 2) buy a cheap
camcorder (300-400eur) and plug it in to mac mini's firewire port.I was thinking about using a mac mini to record, interpret and
upload; would the standard(1.4Ghz/512MB/80GB) be enough for this?should be enough, but maybe a cheap pc + onboard/internal capture card + monitoring cam
- commercial os would be cheaper.
