I don't see anything in the rules about it. You are generally allows to buy any type of sensor that you would like to use that can be bought off the shelf, but there seem to be some restrictions to for the camera.
Refer to R45C, and keep in mind R43. Other than that, I don't see any rules restricting what camera you can use, plus the manual says this in R45:

C. If a 5V camera is used (such as the KOP camera), the camera power feed must be connected to the 5 Vdc supply terminals on the Power Distribution Board.

The bold part seems to emphasis that you can use other cameras besides that used in the KOP, and it gives no distinction to what camera it is talking about. Just "a 5V camera."
Of course, I'm not the law, so I would check with FIRST GDC. If you are able to use another camera, make sure it will work with the rules (5V power, Ethernet connection.)
