Recommended webcam for my PC

Is there a webcam product (at least 720p) that you guys recommend?

I managed to get that Dell XPS8920 PC deal a while ago, but I realise I don't have a webcam for it!

I don't want to spend too much, but I understand quality might be $$.
And I keep seeing the Xiaomi Mifang camera thingo… I assume this won't work as a webcam (for video calls)?

Anyway, thanks in advance :)

    Can't see why they shouldn't.

    • I had a look online, and found this

    I asked this exact same question in the latest Mifang deal. Scabs confirmed it can't. I really wanted it to.

    • That sucks. I mean it has the hardware for it.

    • Damn this was partly why I impulse bought one to experiment with the night vision/motion sensor and possibility of an external webcam (for my android tablet).

      There's gotta be a fixaroo or hack or switch or something I'm sure of it clicks fingers

      • Let us know if you find a way. PM us or something. xoom is right. It definitely has the hardware for it.

        • Definitely I'm sure it is just a matter of time till somebody hacks it. The tools and hardware is all there.

    go for a proper webcam such as Logitech C920, C922 or C930e and you won't be disappointed.

    • Gifted my parents a c920 to skype my sister who works in the middle east and they are pretty happy with the image quality.

    I can't see a way to do it with Xiaofang out of the box. There doesn't seem to be a way of getting a PC to interact with a xiaofang camera as a webcam, or even stream the video to somebody else on android device in it's un-hacked factory default config

    Maybe some kind of 3rd party fang hack is required.
