This disclosure relates to a dimming element for an ADAS camera comprising a layer that can be placed on a surface of a window that comprises liquid crystal cells that can be actuated individually and absorb light when electricity is applied, in order to dim an image section of the ADAS camera depending on the position of the sun detected by the ADAS camera. A delay layer, located between the layer and the ADAS camera may provide polarized light to the ADAS camera independently of an alignment of the liquid crystal cells in relation to the ADAS camera. The disclosure also relates to a control device for an ADAS camera system, and ADAS camera system, and a vehicle comprising an ADAS camera system.
