A camera arrangement (3) for mounting in a vehicle (1) and including a carrier arrangement (4) configured so as to be attached to the vehicle (1) in order to support a camera housing (6) which carries a camera unit (8). The camera arrangement (3) further including a fan unit (12) with a fan wheel (12a) which is configured for forcing air heated by the camera arrangement (3) into the interior of the vehicle (1), and a fan motor (12b) for operating the fan wheel (12a). Furthermore, the fan motor (12b) includes a fan motor axle (12c) which is connected to the fan wheel (12a) and which is configured with a generally vertical orientation when the camera arrangement (3) is mounted in the vehicle

A contact sleeve for a camera objective. The contact sleeve includes a sleeve-shaped base body made of an electrically non-conductive material, as well as at least one electrical conductor embedded in the material of the base body, preferably a contact pin, which has, at at least one end, an exposed contacting portion for electrically contacting an electrical consumer integrated in the camera objective. A camera objective having a contact sleeve and the use of the contact sleeve for contacting an electrical consumer of a camera objective, are also described.

Devices are described herein for extending the use of mobile devices in mixed-media environments. The devices include a transparent hemisphere including a base opposite an apex of the transparent hemisphere and a substantially planar surface configured to be positioned over a circumference of the base of the transparent hemisphere and affixed thereto creating a sealed cavity within the transparent hemisphere. The substantially planar surface includes a transparent portion configured to allow light within an environment to pass through the transparent hemisphere and the transparent portion to reach a recording device.

An embodiment of the present invention comprises: a lens assembly including a liquid lens; a temperature sensor sensing the temperature of the liquid lens; an image sensor receiving light passing through the lens assembly; a detection unit detecting a first driving signal applied to the liquid lens so as to adjust an interface of the liquid lens; and a determination unit comparing the temperature with a target temperature to provide a heating signal to a heater for adjusting the temperature of the liquid lens or to provide the temperature to a compensation unit. The compensation unit discloses a camera module generating a second driving signal which readjusts the interface of the liquid lens by compensating the temperature to the first driving signal.
