NOTE: a 1080p camera is 2.1 MP (megapixels). You can get better resolution by going for a 5 MP camera or even an 8 MP camera, however if you are going for a different camera, *remember* to double check both its FOV degrees and whether or not it has auto focus! Below is a link to the camera shown in the video, as well as a link to a higher resolution USB Camera with both auto focus and 95 degree FOV, and a link to a camera with a resolution similar to the 1080p, but with a 120 degree FOV, and a more "square-ish" aspect ratio that is better suited to most laser rigs.
ALSO NOTE: Be sure the camera you select has support for your operating system! If you are using a Mac and the camera only supports Windows, that could be an issue. Support for USB camera devices should be fairly ubiquitous, but I'm just trying to cover all the bases here.
FINAL NOTE: Cameras with a wide field of view (FOV) do tend to have a "fish eye" effect, but Lightburn's fish-eye adjustment is usually quite capable of compensating for it.
