1. A camera arrangement comprising:
- a camera separated from a pane which divides an outside region from an inside region, wherein the camera is in the inside region and is pointed at a portion of the pane such that the camera has a viewing detection region through the pane; and
an electrical conductor structure which forms a device, wherein the conductor structure is in front of the camera on the portion of the pane within the viewing detection region of the camera such that the camera is pointed at both the portion of the pane and the conductor structure whereby the camera and the device use the same portion of the pane for their operations;
an optical element connected to the pane, wherein the optical element is between the camera and the pane and is in front of the camera;
wherein the conductor structure is on the portion of the pane within the viewing detection region of the camera and is completely within an area covered by the optical element on the pane.

17. A camera arrangement comprising:
-
a camera separated from a pane which divides an outside region from an inside region, wherein the camera is in the inside region and is pointed along an optical axis at a portion of the pane such that the camera has a viewing detection region through the pane; an electrical conductor structure which forms a device, wherein the conductor structure is between the pane and the camera and is in front of the camera on the portion of the pane along the optical axis of the camera within the viewing detection region of the camera such that the camera is pointed along the optical axis at both the portion of the pane and the conductor whereby the camera and the device use the same portion of the pane for their operations; and a light-guiding element connected to the pane, wherein the light-guiding element is between the camera and the pane and is in front of the camera; wherein the conductor structure is connected to the light-guiding element such that the conductor structure is on the portion of the pane along the optical axis of the camera within the viewing detection region of the camera and is completely within an area covered by the light-guiding element on the pane. - View Dependent Claims (18)
