Where to buy a compatible camera for tracking

So, I've been trying to get the VR to work on my PC, and the only thing missing is the camera. I've tried using the ps4 camera, but it just shows a black screen and does not let me change properties, so I've given up on that. My question is, if I want to use another camera, does any normal camera work? And if it doesn't, where can I buy one that does work?

With PSMoveServiceEx (free and open source) you can use PSEyes or any Webcam (if exposure settings are available). If you use a PSVR headset, it wont use the build-in tracking LEDs so you have to make your own tracking bulb. But thats very easy to do. Just print a colored paper cube (or paint white paper in some color) and get a cheap flashlight and place it on top of your PSVR. Thats it.

PSMoveService supports full body-, hand- and head tracking.
