Camera and method for controlled dew formation inside a camera
First Claim
1. A camera comprisingan at least partly transparent housing and an imaging device arranged inside the at least partly transparent housing,wherein the imaging device is configured to capture images through the at least partly transparent housing;
- the camera further comprising a casing at least partly enclosing the imaging device and arranged between the housing and the imaging device,the casing defining at least one cavity forming an intermediate space being in fluid communication with an inner space present between the casing and the imaging device and an outer space present between the housing and the casing.

Abstract
A camera comprising an at least partly transparent housing and an imaging device arranged inside the at least partly transparent housing, wherein the imaging device is configured to capture images through the at least partly transparent housing. The camera further comprising a casing at least partly enclosing the imaging device and arranged between the housing and the imaging device, the casing defining at least one cavity forming an intermediate space being in fluid communication with an inner space present between the casing and the imaging device and an outer space present between the housing and the casing. A method for controlled dew formation inside the camera.

15. A method for controlled dew formation inside a camera comprising an at least partly transparent housing and an imaging device arranged inside the at least partly transparent housing, wherein the imaging device is configured to capture images through the at least partly transparent housing, the method comprising:
-
arranging a casing between the housing and the imaging device such that the casing at least partly encloses the imaging device, the casing defining at least one cavity forming an intermediate space being in fluid communication with an inner space present between the casing and the imaging device and with an outer space present between the housing and the casing; and allowing air to flow from the inner space to the outer space via the intermediate space such that a controlled dew formation on surfaces of the at least one cavity is obtained when dew formation conditions are fulfilled, the dew formation conditions at least including air humidity, ambient temperature outside the camera and temperature inside the inner space.
