Can anyone recommend a camera in ~300 USD price range for smooth realtime tracking of a couple of active IR markers using cv.jit? Wide angle would also be a plus.

with a 107 deg wide angle lens, and perhaps also including an IR filter (ie a filter that bandpasses out non-IR wavelengths).

Any experiences using this firewire camera board with cv.jit?

ANti-ir filter coated on the lens.

I have used a track IR camera from Naturalpoint before and noticed how accurately and smoothly it can track for determining mouse cursor position:

These cameras are supposed to have fps values of >100 (or 'sample rate' - same thing?). Is this a critical factor for smooth motion tracking? Or is resolution more important? I am worried that the unibrain running at 30 fps may not be smooth enough.
