Well as it turned out on my bachelor thesis about videomapping, the most 
devices are good enough. Pay attention to 15$ keycams from china, as the 
compression is quit high and they are very buggy. But anything like 
iPhone or Pocket Camcorder will work, if you consider some restrictions 
(reflections in windows, limited field of view, ...)
