Yes,

Look at: http://www.wincam.com

Disclaimer: I work for the company, so I probably think that the product
is better than it is.

The camera is a 24bit color digital still camera which uses RS-232 to
transfer the image. The maximum transfer rate is (theoretically) 460Kb/s
but 128Kb/s is more practical. The cable can be up to 200', but at 128Kb/s
you are hard pressed to do over 50'.

The camera resolution, etc. is all listed on the web page... It is being
sold as a web camera, but there is a Wincam.One package which we are still
(I think) selling for 199 which is the same camera just set up so the
WebCamera software won't talk to it... (Well, I'm being unfair, the web
cameras have the ability to hook up a bunch of cameras to a single serial
port through a sort of active multiplexer. The Wincam.One's MCU is
programmed with firmware which doesn't understand the new protocol.)

The standard lens is a small f/1.4 8mm, but we sell everything from very
wide angle (110deg field of view) to "telephoto" lenses.

US Funds, American Company, Will ship overseas, standard support etc.

They even use PIC microcontrollers...
