More photos in the comments. Is it supposed to be connected to the motherboard? I found it in the case. It wasn't connected. I think that the backside is some sort of thermal patch. I can tell that it's not a camera but I'm very confused and the connection reminds me of more of a laptop or phone connection not something you would see in a PC. The data matrix contains the same text as the white sticker.
Looks like a connector for an industrial camera. Considering you mentioned they do editing.
It would allow the camera to directly be plugged in to the motherboard (assuming the other end is SATA, but hard to tell) so data can be transferred
It's way smaller, the black circle is about 5mm in diameter
