I love this! I've been using mine as a webcam for a couple months now (among other side-projects). You need a different lens though.

The 6mm fisheye lens is crappy and the distortion is terrible. The 16mm lens is higher quality but the zoom makes it difficult to use as a webcam.

I bought the 6mm M12 portrait lens from https://commonlands.com/products/portrait-6mm-m12-lens which works much better. Being M12 it's not the best form factor, but it has a rectilinear picture and the framing is what you want for a webcam.
