Will the camera from the tablet work if it is pulled out and the cable is extended?

Question

Android

I want to make a type of video eye from an old tablet. The plans are to pull out the camera and lengthen the cable. How will she behave in this case?
If this option does not work, then what to use for the camera?

Answer 1

Well, up to twenty centimeters IMHO will work, more will have to tinker with the cable ...

Answer 2

It's easier to take a webcam and use a usb extension cable to work through a tablet
