Genius WideCam F100
This Cam is simply amazing!
Checklist:

Good quality in low light settings!
Focus with manual wheel!
Good Price
You can mount the camera holer onto the round pillar directly or dismantle the cam and use the raw cam holder.
If you are satisfied with the angle glue the Cam mount stabilizer to the pillar and the arm to make it more sturdy.
My options in the pic:
camera_usb_options="-r 1024x720 -fourcc RGBP -q 95"
Please be aware that if you use the -f handle, that YUYV format is used.
Other options that are known to work:
-r 1920x1080 -f 30 gives full 16:9 frame @30fps
-r 1920x1080 -f 5 -y gives full 16:9 frame @5fps
-r 1280x720 -f 30 gives full 16:9 frame @30fps
-r 1280x720 -f 8 -y gives full 16:9 frame @8fps
-r 800x600 -f 30 gives cropped 4:3 frame @30fps
-r 800x600 -f 10 -y gives cropped 4:3 frame @10fps
Lower resolutions 640x360 , 352x288, 320x240, 176x144, 160x120 all operate at -f 30 both for MJPG as well as YUYV format.

PS: I did not focus the cam 100% correct for now. There is better quality possible. Especially if you use 1080p resolution with the cam.
