A camera system for a vehicle, which is to be arranged inside the vehicle behind a windshield of the vehicle, includes a housing, a first camera module that detects or images an area ahead of the vehicle and a second camera module that detects or images at least an area of the windshield.

Systems and methods according to one or more embodiments are provided for an imaging system having a plurality of sensors associated with input optics. In one example, an imaging system includes input optics configured to receive incident radiation along an input optical axis and a first optical sensor and a second optical sensor, each configured to detect the incident radiation. The imaging system further includes a rotating member positioned between the first and second optical sensors and configured to rotate about the input optical axis and a reflector coupled to the rotating member configured to be selectively positionable by the rotating member to a first orientation, in which the reflector directs the incident radiation along a first secondary axis to the first optical sensor, and to a second orientation, in which the reflector directs the incident radiation along a second secondary axis toward the second optical sensor.

A long-range viewing apparatus is described, the long-range viewing apparatus arranged to provide an all-in-one solution to combining two videos streams obtained coaxially through a single imaging aperture. A long-range viewing apparatus comprising, a housing; a first camera within the housing; a second camera within the housing; and a processing element; wherein the processing element is arranged to combine images from the first and second cameras; wherein the processing element is further arranged to scale images from the first and second cameras; wherein the processing element is further arranged to crop images from the first and second cameras; characterised in that, the first camera is positioned coaxially in front of the second camera; and the housing comprises a single imaging aperture. The invention aims to achieve real-time digital foveal zoom capabilities in a physically robust, low-weight, low-complexity and small form factor assembly suitable for demanding applications.

A digital camera (an imaging device) includes: a camera body (an imaging device body); a flash light emitter having a stored state in which the flash light emitter is stored in the camera body and a projected state in which the flash light emitter projects from the camera body; and a packing (an elastic deformation member). The digital camera has a drip-proof specification in which the packing is pressed and deformed between the flash light emitter and the camera body in the stored state, thereby drip-proof sealing a clearance between the camera body and the flash light emitter.
