unless you have other constraints (e.g. want to use this on a laptop
which only has a USB port) I still strongly recommend a standard
(composite-video output) camera and a video capture card.

The camera costs the same or marginally less than the corresponding
USB unit, the card will cost you more than the 0$ for an embedded
USB port, but you can have it working _now_ and have the bonus of
being able to watch TV, digitize from tapes and select multiple
video sources with a 2$ rotary switch!
