Step 3 Install the webcam

Before the webcam can be installed, the bulky clip should be removed. I used the Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks (which works well in windows), but any decent quality webcam that allows manual functionality (i.e., exposure control and focus) should work. To remove the clip from the same camera used here, remove the tiny rubber piece from the hinge and unscrew the underlying screw.

Use the hot glue gun to secure the camera to the top of the frame. Make sure that the camera view is angled over a bit so that when the image is reflected off of a mirror, it will be centered on the glass in the frame. Also, make sure there will be clearance between the camera and the side of the box so that you can fit everything together later.
