I managed to get it for $500 on ebay... but I just checked and it looks like similar ones are around $1000 now, so I guess I got lucky. An Axis PTZ dome camera turned upside down works great too though and there are a lot of those available on Ebay.

Do you know any similar cameras for even cheaper (i.e. cheap Chinese stuff)?
In theory it should work with any camera the supports ONVIF, which is a standard for security cameras... actually, as long as the camera has an API you could probably get it to work. Since precision and image quality are important though, it could end up being more trouble that it is worth. You may have better luck trying to find a used one.
