This model allows an IMX179 USB camera module to be used as a web camera, by mounting it to the top of your monitor.
This module has an extremely good image quality for a low price - a comparable factory-made webcam would cost at least 5x more. It also includes a microphone, just like any normal webcam.
My design uses a slightly modified AngryCam V2 case, originally intended to be used in 3D printers.
The 78° FOV version of the IMX179 module is recommended, since 120° is too wide for a webcam (your face will occupy only a tiny part of the camera view).
The camera bracket is attached to the top of your monitor with VHB tape.
No depinning is required during assembly.
