If you go for an IR led , try to get a 880nm led. Some webcams can't track 920/940nm leds unless they're IR modded. And if you can, get a SFH485P since : - It's a 5mm led - It works in IR range (no reflection hassle). - wavelength is 880nm (less compatibility problems with unmodded webcams). - It's already a wide beam angle led (don't need to sand the led). cya

If you use narrow angle leds , tracking will be lost even if you only turn your head a little bit. But if you use wide angle leds , or widen the angle by sanding the leds, you'll be able to turn your head about 90 degres (45 degres on each side of the direct line of sight, thats already much since if you turn too much , YOU will lost sight of your own screen ) So don't worry about your webcam model (at least for view angle) and just focus on the led model. cya

But this is the lowest value you should go for. As i said in previous post , the wider the beam, the better. cya
