I know all these words but not in that order.  What does this mean?

Field of view is just a matter of lenses.  Hot-glue a concave lens in 
front of your camera* and presto, wide-angle (YFMV, Your Focus May 
Vary).  Or look for a camera with a common lens mount (C is a common 
mount among security-type cameras), and an adequate lens (also this will 
probably be a good bit more expensive).

(As an aside, I made a usable barcode reader from an off-the-shelf 
webcam by sticking a convex lens in front of it, so that it could focus 
on an item a few inches away).

* - okay, it's a bit more complicated to find the right distance away 
from the camera for the lens, but it's probably doable!
