We've used the Logitech BRIO 4K (4K, 60Hz), which has better specs, but its optics aren't as easy to calibrate as the NexiGo. |

You want the tags to be as big in the webcam image as possible to help detection stability. (If ceiling mounting, you will probably find that your webcam should be much lower than your projector.)
