It seems like the more well known manufactures don't do 170 degree cameras.

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).
