Yes, PCEYE is still around.  Price: $495 to $2495 , depending on the
resolution.  You get hardware ( a board) and software.  I wrote some
in-line machine code in Turbo Pascal 3.1 to run their memory-resident
software via interrupts (to do pattern-recognition on real-time images)
but it comes with a user-friendly "canned" program.  I have found 
them to be helpful and responsive,  and recommend them.  Check with 
them about what software is included:
   Chorus Data Systems  6 Continental Blvd.  Merrimack, NH 03054
   (603) 424-2900   [they have an 800 #,  call 800 information] 

From their User's Guide:  "Any object that can be viewed with a 
standard video camera or recorder can be captured as high resolution
pictures on your PC."
