I would like to see a round cable version. I know this may not fit the design ethos, but I've had projects that I really wanted to use the Pi+camera and couldn't because of camera positioning (a 1m round cable would have worked) .
You'd be better off getting a USB webcam for that, I don't imagine CSI (Camera Serial Interface Type 2, the connection the camera modules use) works well over long distances.
* A monochrome sensor option
* Better sensor documentation. Where are the quantum efficiency graphs?
* Larger sensors.
* Less emphasis on megapixels, more emphasis on efficiency.
* Exposure control in microseconds
* Binning
* C, CS, or F lens mount. Heck, I'd even accept a M12 mount, so long as the lens isn't glued into place.
Modules like this one have existed in surveillance industry for quite a while but this is the one for the DIY community I guess, the price really should be in the <$10 range though, otherwise it's fun to play with.
Awesome stuff. I do wish they'd release a module without the bayer filter for monochrome imaging. Granted it is maybe quite a bit of work to rewrite parts of the ISP to suit a relatively niche market of monochrome sensor...
The color filter is much more closely integrated with the camera sensor than the IR filter was. I don't know for sure, but I suspect it can't be removed without risking damage to the sensor.

The extent of the risk depends on the sensor and board assembly. But removing the CFA is not unthinkable[1]. [1] https://stargazerslounge.com/topic/210686-moon-with-de-bayer...
Is there an Rpi adapter to allow hdmi in via CSI port? It would be cool to use an action camera like a gopro

I've been looking into home security lately and with the more expensive camera-kits (say $2k+)... I've been wondering if a de-centralized raspberry-pi setup might be so much better. And with 8mp I think I should start a POC, right?

If you live in the US, you can walk into any GameStop and buy used PS3Eye cameras for $8.99 + tax. They are an absolute steal.

Not sure if this will work. But worth a try. Its $15 https://www.tindie.com/products/freto/pi-camera-hdmi-cable-e... .

not really, ps3eye first is a USB camera, secondly, it's 640*480, which is only 300K pixel.
