best live video option for Resolume - wireless or wired?

Hi

I have a gig at the weekend where I'd like to shoot some live video footage and include it in my Resolume mix. I don't have a large budget, but at the same time if there's good reason to spend more I will consider this.

First off I am wondering what my wireless options might be. I have tried a couple of webcam apps with my iPhone 4 and there was too much of a lag and quality wasn't great. So I am wondering if a dedicated wireless webcam would perform better. Failing this I have come across a Bluetooth webcam:

And am wondering whether this would work with Resolume and whether the performance would be better than a wireless webcam (I am using Resolume on a Mac).

If all of the wireless options are somewhat flaky though, I would be looking at a wired webcam or dedicated video camera with live streaming capability with a long lead! Again if there are particular models other VJs could recommend that would be great.

Any advice would be much appreciated,

Thanks

Nick
