I am really surprised they are using essentially off-the-shelf USB cameras. I guess if it works, it works, but surprising that they didn't need to design circuitry to work in a space environment.

I am guessing the requirements for circuitry operating on Mars isn't quite as much as a spacecraft or satellite, but it is still getting hit with cosmic particles and solar radiation with no atmosphere.

They're USB cameras. I don't know the vendor, but I worked with 4 cameras wired back to a small Linux computer.
