    Hi everyone!

    Well, as the thread title says, I'm looking for a small laptop webcam module for a project that I'm working on, i.e. something smaller than the standard module. For example, most modules are around 7mm x 55mm, (1/4" x 2 1/4"). I'm looking for something smaller. I have looked at Raspberry Pi modules, but I would prefer a stock laptop module.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Have you tried looking at ELP usb cameras? You may also find something on sites like Aliexpress if you search for "usb camera" and things like that.

    Hi AlexusR,

    Yes, I was looking at USB camera's and camera's for Raspberry Pi's, but they are to big for what I'm doing. That's why I'm looking for a small web cam from a laptop.
