The TeckNet C016 USB HD 720P Webcam offers probably the best value for money ratio. It does not offer the best image quality but when compared with its price, it becomes difficult to find a better option.

The model uses a basic 5 megapixel sensor that is capable of recording high-definition videos or take shots at decent resolutions. It has a simple stand that might make it difficult to adjust its position and it includes built-in LED lights.

D-Link DCS-932L Wireless Day / Night Network Surveillance Camera is one of the most compact models in our list. It is also one of the most affordable.

Unfortunately the low price tag also means a lower quality image sensor that is capable of recording only footage at 640 by 480 pixels and 20 frames per second. The model allows for wireless connectivity and can be controlled using the dedicated D-Link web portal. It can also be accessed using an iOS or Android smartphone and it is extremely easy to setup.

Logitech HD webcam C525 is a small and decent camera that is comparable to the Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000. However it is a bit more expensive. The video sensor is capable of recording 720p videos at 30 frames per second or 8 megapixels photos.

As for its build the camera is quite small and easy to setup. Its design makes it fold in such a way that it will fit inside a small pocket. It features an automatic light correction and autofocus as well as noise canceling for the built-in microphone.
