Yes.

As at Mar 2021 they are:
#  PiHardware,  Camera,   SD
1  Pi zero W, LifeCam HD-3000, 32Gb
2  Pi zero W, LifeCam Cinema,  32Gb
3  Pi zero W, LifeCam HD-3000, 32Gb
4  Pi zero, Pi NOIR cam,  32Gb
5  Pi zero W, LifeCam HD-3000, 32Gb
6  Pi zero W, LifeCam Cinema,  32Gb
7  Pi zero W, LifeCam HD-3000, 32Gb
8  Pi zero W, Pi NOIR cam,  32Gb
9  Pi zero W, GEMBIRD    8Gb
10 Pi zero, PiHut ZeroCam  32Gb

All running headless latest Raspbian Lite GNU/Linux 10 (buster) O/S and
motion 4.1.1 capture software. I run apt to update/upgrade once a month.
Each camera runs a cron job to purge old images every night and a cron
job rsyncs the image directories to a pi file server overnight over wifi.

Cameras 4 & 8 run using IR lights.

You may get more from http://www.nevilley.org.uk/cameras/cameras.php
although this needs updating. There have been changes since Dec 2019
mainly re-locating webcams and rebuilding the SD cards with Rasbian
Buster (from stretch) in Aug 2020. Most of the SDs were replaced as I
just burned a batch of new ones and then changed them en-masse. I bought
20 32Gb SanDisk Ultra microSDHD UHS-1 cards off Amazon.
