Can't see the blackboard, so the camera needs glasses.

What (pro)consumer-level webcam should I get that will let me read the marker board my coworkers are using to brainstorm?
I've recently moved across the country and am telecommuting with the ol' firm. Collaboration with my friends and coworkers tends towards brainstorming on marker-boards. Being used to the intimacy of in-person participation, the built-in webcams on our laptops just aren't up to snuff.
Sound isn't a problem on either end (thanks to Blue's Snowball), but I can't see anything unless it's right in front of the laptop. We're big ideas, not big org, and so full fledged dedicated rooms are too large and too pricy.
Any suggestions? What's worked for you collaborating in a creative environment?
Sorta, kinda, previously.

There are webcams that permit remote panning + zooming.
But personally, I think a second webcam permanently on the board makes more sense.
