#3It's notable that this 'accumulation' method effectively lets you have a near-infinite exposure time, as long as objects in the video frame are trackable (ie. there is sufficient light in each frame to see at least something).
I'd be interested to see how night mode performs when objects in the frame are moving (it should work fine, since it will track the object), or changing (for example, turning pages of a book - I wouldn't expect it to work in that case).

#4I would like super sensitive cameras like this to be used inside fridges to see the very faint glow of food going off.
Chemical reactions by bacteria breaking down food produce light, enough for humans to see in only the darkest of places (if you live in a city, you won't ever encounter dark enough situations).
A camera simulating a 1 hour exposure time in a closed refrigerator ought to be able to see it pretty easily.

It would be really interesting to then display this on the screen of smart refrigerators. Maybe you could even flag food that is above a certain brightness as spoiled.

I never knew I wanted a "smart" fridge, but a fridge that can detect food going off sounds incredible. Sign me up if this is feasible.

Hmm, I can't find any research about spoiled food being bio luminescent, you say "bacteria breaking down food produce light", but experience seems to suggest lots of food spoilage is due to fungi (molds). Though it'd be fun to see lactobacteria in pickles or kimchi glowing...
