The quality of the camera module is crucial. Here you should take a little time to figure out the best for your needs. There are many modules available with just a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. This is of course not state of the art today. Often they are described as “for note book XY”. Just investigate which notebook is equipped with which resolution camera.
