    Good webcam to what you are writing on paper on a desk?

    I'm looking for something like this. I must exist but I haven't found it.

    http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias=electronics&field-keywords=goosenck webcam

    - Gooseneck webcam.
    - gotta have a tall enough goose neck that can look over my shoulder
    - 8 MP
    - Good low light performance
    - Records audio
    - Software that lets you see what is being recorded

    What would you recommend and what would be your advice for finding one? I've looked at some and typically the neck is not tall enough\\

    Try searching for "document-camera" rather than webcam.
    Some are like overhead projectors, some are more portable, some have a goose-neck design.

    Or buy just a gooseneck clip with the camera tripod mount on the end.
