The connection standard they used is really meant for use in a mobile phone, with a 3cm ribbon going from the board to the camera. I&#x27;ve seen CSI cables close to a meter for sale, but I&#x27;m not sure how reliably they work. The sibling post about the HDMI cable seems like your best bet.<p>The USB camera idea would work too, but it wouldn&#x27;t have the same performance characteristics as the PiCam (The Pi&#x27;s USB implementation is terrible, as far as throughput and CPU load).
