Can you recommend a webcam that mounts to the printbed and fits inside a Lack enclosure?

Can you recommend a webcam that:
1. Works with Octoprint
2. Can mount to the printbed
3. Will fit inside the Lack enclosure

I currently have a PSEye camera, but I can't figure out how to mount it to the print bed so that it will fit inside the Lack enclosure. I want to continue to make timelapses like this when the enclosure is finished.

I never found one so I finally mounted the camera to the enclosure.

If you do not want to do time-lapse videos with the camera, then I recommend to fix the camera on the X-axis. So you always see over the entire print bed and not only the foremost, largest part.

i use this one and got a great overview: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2956323

I think a generic Logitech C270 would do just fine:
