1. A system, comprising:
- an integrated video camera module;
an arm including a cutout opening, wherein the cutout opening substantially conforms to a contour of the video camera module, the arm being configured to entirely surround and hold the video camera module when the video camera module is assembled within the cutout opening in the arm;
a base; and
a joint that connects the arm and the base and that provides at least one degree of motion of the arm and the video camera module mounted therein with respect to the base, allowing the arm to rotate around a rotational axis that passes through the joint.
