Any Webcam tips and tricks out there?

One of the amazing things about this program is the ability to use USB Camera integration with your video synth work. I want to be able to use USB cameras for future projects but I need help finding a method that will make it work 100% of the time. I tried buying a standard 480p Logitech camera. It failed to work after 15 seconds of being online when it froze up. Ive tried an od PS2 eye toy with a resolution of 240p and it still freezes up. My built in laptop camera is a VGA 480p and manages to work WITHOUT crashing. It seems that I have trouble with USB webcams rather than my laptop's built in one. My question is, is there a webcam that 100% works for you guys and are there some tips and tricks about using a webcam that I should know about? Thanks yall

I noticed some webcam issues on Windows 10 after previous windows update; my webcams ran only about 10 frames and then froze. I recently re-wrote the cam reading so that it now doesn't wait every possible frame that the usb-cam is pushing, but only reads frames when Cathodemer is ready to draw the next frame, so now it works 100% with my cams and is a lot faster without latency, but on the downside now some frame skipping might occur. Will be on the next update.
