Yep!  The LifeCam HD 3000 for $22 or the Logitech C270 for $20.  The Logitech has the higher reviews from what I read.  Does anyone here have experience with these?

The reviews for the Logitec C270 are correct, it is a great camera. However, it is not a good camera for proctoring. 

Avoid the Logitech C270. You have to open the hardware up manually to change the focus. The issue is when you go to take a photo of your ID the picture will come out blurry/the text on your ID will be almost unreadable.  I ended up getting a new laptop with a built-in camera. The built-in camera must have auto-focus because I have not had any issues with it.

Any suggestions for a good model?
