Anyone know of any decent wide angle (or fisheye) webcam options?
A client wants a live-stream from their office on their website. This will be quite large in size and has to be decent quality.
To get a wider angle i'd suggested getting one of those magnetic lenses (I used to have one for digital camera that was OK) to give a fisheye/wide angle.
Wondered if anyone knew of a better solution or a webcam and lens combination to go for.

Kind of an interesting DIY solution... probably not the quality they are looking for...

Hehe, yeah, that's a bit lo-fi. Thanks though.
I don't think they'll mind spending some £££ to get something that really good. And the better the wide lens the higher quality video stream it'll be.

Take a peek at the GoPro Hero cameras - they have a decent fisheye lens - not sure if they can be hooked up/hacked to "endless" viewing, but they do provide a shot at a solution... I have one of the first iterations and it is an okay camera - only issue is charging it up - sucks the life out of my USB ports to the point that any other device dies - go with the optional AC "mains" solution... good luck, regardless...
