I would like to make a digital night vision device based on a Sony StarVis CMOS sensor. I know it's possible to do this with a NoIR camera + LED array, but I'm intentionally trying to make a "starlight" device that doesn't need an attached illuminator. I've located some circuit board modules on aliexpress that look like they could work, such as https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Color-Night-Vision-F0-95-StarLight-LENs-AHD-H-1080P-1-2-8-Sony-STARVIS-IMX327/32874509649.html.
Like other boards using StarVis sensors it looks like it's meant for security cameras.
I'm not entirely familiar with the protocol for receiving images from them. Does anyone know what the name of the protocol is, and if it's possible to interface with it through arduino?
I just want to see if this is feasible or appropriate for an arduino before I actually do this. I was thinking that something low level like an arduino could handle it since there shouldn't be any need for image processing: just grab the image and spit it out onto the screen. However if the protocol ends up being much more complex, I wouldn't be surprised at all if something more powerful like a raspberry pi is needed.
