Im trying to keep cost as low as possible since I am just building this for myself at home. Like I said previously I wrote most of the software already, not trying to spend the money on something like V1 Pro, but basically my software would do the same thing. Record my swing from front and side view and allow me to draw lines. The camera I need would need drivers for a computer since the cameras would be attached directly to the computer. I was hoping to get a higher end webcam since they are cheap, but not sure if there are any that can capture the speed of a swing.

Most webcams won't be fast enough. They generally capture 30fps, and you need at least 60fps. 100fps would be better.
