[Wear-Hard] Best Camera/Webcam for EyeTap?

[tetsu yatsu]

I removed the IR filter from the Logitech Communicate MP CMOS webcam to try
it out. I enjoy the ability to see in low-light and no-visible-light
conditions (with an illuminator). I walked around my house at night with a
TV remote for a flashlight, looking through stuff not previously thought to
be transparent. Needless to say, the experience was exciting.

Linux / the Eee PC can't both read from a webcam and play a video with
mplayer, but it can play multiple camera sources simultaneously. I think it
might have something to do with video overlays, maybe v4l/mplayer takes
exclusive control of it, maybe it's a /dev device file. Multiple cameras is
a big plus in any case.

I'm sure we all run into the problems of refitting consumer electronics to
our dimensions and physical restrictions.  Does anybody have any resources
on extenders? Like PCB mount ribbon cable extenders and such things? I
really don't know what to search yet. 'Molex' seems primarily for power
connectors.
