Turnkey and OEM models exist, both are totally customizable for the customer's task.

High resolution sensors support
High speed compression: 80 MPix/s
There is many modes of shooting: JPEG, MJPEG, JP4, Motion JP4, HDR modes
There is many interfaces: Compact Flash, SATA, Ethernet 10/100, USB, RS-232;
User friendly scripting on the camera (PHP5, well defined and Open API)
Totally Free Software: all firmware sources both for GNU/Linux and FPGA are distributed under GNU/GPL v3 license. The SDK is composed of FOSS components (not include ISE Webpack for FPGA development, but this software is freely downloadable)
