A lifetime ago, I regularly used this 3Com HomeConnect webcam:

What was interesting about it, was that the lens was interchangeable and you could get a set of different lenses for it:

These added Wide Angle, Close Up (macro), and Telephoto. I still have them and the camera in a drawer - unfortunately the drivers no longer work with modern OSs and the sensors native resolution is only 640x480 (although the drivers could upscale).
Having interchangeable lenses on a webcam is really useful - more companies should do it.
