How long is the cable?

The cable I got with this unit was (barely) 6 inches long. So -- FYI.You can buy 2 meter cables on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XW2NCKS

how effective would this camera (with a pi) be as a serveillance camera, esp for outdoor use?

You’d want to focus on four things, all achievable. 1. Noir camera doe infrared as thisneknt do it 2. Weatherproof enclosure 3. Reliability (power, network connection as you record to drives and maybe text yourself when it’s triggered) 4. Securing the device so it doesn’t grow legs and walk away if you know what I mean

What is the field of view (FoV) on this camera?

Angle of View: 62.2 x 48.8 degrees

Did they ever fix the focus issue, or do I need to refocus with a razor blade?

Mine worked great out of the box! My project required me to adjust the focus however so I used a small flat head screw driver. Later I found a focus tool included in the box which would have been nice but not necessary. Once you find the focus setting you like dab a little bit of super glue on the edge
