 Hello Elham,
yes it will be possible to order the Inline model stereo camera with 4 sensors. 
As Andrey have mentioned, Elphel cameras are Free Software and Open Hardware and are distributed under GNU GPL license http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html and CERN OHL http://www.ohwr.org/projects/cernohl

 We would like to sponsor your project and follow it on Github repository (for example), or Sourceforge or Bitbucket with sources available for download. Here is an example of another project which had used Elphel cameras for their robots: https://bitbucket.org/scinirov/scini/src/66a3b41e2763737dfa6ae5aab79a38b86674d702/build/source/?at=master

 We have started designing the waterproof camera body, and some parts can be 3D-printed, however some parts we will order to be machined. Finishing the design, manufacturing parts, assembling and testing will take some time. Maybe you can make waterproof case faster. We will upload the parts for waterproof body as Open Hardware once it is ready, and you are welcome to share your design as well.

Please let me know how would you like to proceed with the order, and if you will have any other questions.

Best Regards,

Olga

 Hello Elham,

As I wrote you earlier - we do not have any waterproof camera, the only weatherproof (they withstand rain but can not go underwater) we manufacture is Eyesis4pi (it is more expensive device).

Our users were able to use Elphel cameras deep under water (see project SCINI -https://www.google.com/ search?q=scini ), but it is their design, not ours. We provide open hardware cameras so you can download all our design files and develop the additions required for your particular application, and if your design is open too (so others can use your CAD files, software under acceptable FLOSS license) we may provide discounts (as I wrote earlier).

We may develop some weather-proof H-camera ourselves, especially if there will be customers eager to pay for such product. But I can not promise to put all our work aside do develop such new hardware - we can do it only in our spare time (which currently we do not have). Your team has at least twice more members than we have at Elphel, so you can develop mechanical parts yourself (as other users do) faster (and less expensive too) - we can definitely help you with consultations and tell if we think your design will work, what potential problems it may have.

Andrey

Hello Andrey,The longest of your cable is very good.because this camera will be used in outdoor condition, it is very important that it is waterproof.  can you design  H-camera with environmental protection?How will send us? and how many days does it take?
