MamiKos atau sejenisnya, lumayan utk referensi, tp ingat, survey, survey dan survey, mending spt org ngeselin lihat kost/kontrak drpd udah kebelet/buru buru, sinyal jeleklah, lingkungan rese dst

Edit: I assume you have the free version, since it was not mentioned :)
Very late answering this but if anybody's stumbling across this page, here are the cameras that work perfectly with the Linux UVC driver – look for the ones with the green checkmark and no footnotes.
And also because a good webcam can be expensive, here's a super-cheap alternative: a $5 Android app called DroidCamX (free version here) which uses your phone camera and can make it available on the computer over USB (needs adb installed) or WiFi.
It needs a client app installed on the computer as well, and on Linux it also needs a DKMS kernel module. On Arch-based distros both are readily available as AUR packages "droidcam" (client app) and "v4l2loopback-dc-dkms" (kernel module). The kernel package is marked as a dependency of the droidcam package so don't worry if you forget what it's called. Just make sure you also have "linux<version>-headers" installed so the DKMS module can be compiled.
For some reason I haven't been able to see the video output in Cheese but it works perfectly in browsers and video calling apps, which is what really matters. Please note that the PC client app is needed only to make the /dev/video*
device appear (which in turn makes the output available to other apps), but if you just want to check if the Android app is working you can see the video output in a browser by going to http://<phone LAN IP>:4343/
