I am looking to test Zoneminder on a spare PC in the office since some materials in my desk are disappearing and I don't want to accuse anyone but I have someone in mind. Can someone please let me know a USB webcam or anything that works fairly will on Zoneminder (100% compatible) in the $50 - $150 price range?
Thanks so much!

Hope it works!
Well, for future searchers: If you are looking for a cheap (but quite decent) USB cam, that little 'man' from DX works very well. Just plug it in and it shows up as a /dev/video* device.

Actualy, I have never had a web cam but this would be great to use as on of my cams for package build testing. Certainly can't bet the price.
