ARC is compatible with any USB camera. Because there are millions of options for USB cameras, you can choose one that suits your requirements. However, you may be looking for one that fits the form factor (or is similar) to the EZ-Robot camera. The link you posted would work.
Alternatively, I like this camera because it has a 110-degree viewing angle. This is good for tracking: https://www.amazon.ca/Camera-Module-OV3660-USB2-0-Support/dp/B0878Z4MMB
However, Walmart seems to have it available here in the US with free shipping. Looks like two weeks ship time though. Look here:

Maybe there's something out there just as good as good that has faster delivery. Don't know. USB cameras are out of my wheelhouse.

You just need to specifically find a PL2303HXD UART-TTL adapter. It is important that you find the "D" version, as you'll see on the thread.
If you'd like to change the Lens of the EZ-Robot camera to any angle you'd like, you can replace it with any M7 lens with 0.35 pitch.
