hey swyx! a "UVC camera" simply refers to a camera that connects to your device over USB. most "typical webcams" are actually UVC cameras. the ones that are not, are the fancy SLR set-ups that you have to jerry-rig to your computer with multiple connectors and hubs. these are the setups that typically cost at least $1k.

I use one of those fancy video setups. It consists of a tripod, the camera body & lens, dummy battery for power, and USB-C cable from camera to the mac, no jerry-rigging required. It's a Canon EOS R (a mirrorless camera). Modern cameras have gotten extremely good at this, there's no need for HDMI video cap boxes and so forth anymore.
