- a lens of an optical unit through which front view images of a vehicle are captured;
a first board on which an imager is mounted, the imager converting the optical images obtained through the lens to image signals, the first board comprising a first surface and a second surface;
a second board on which a control circuit capable of performing an image processing of the optical images is mounted, the second board comprising a first surface and a second surface;
a casing configured to accommodate the first board and the second board, the casing comprising a first casing and a second casing, the first surface of the first board and the first surface of the second board being covered with the first casing, the first casing comprising a protruding part protruding at a rear side of the first casing so as to accommodate the optical unit and the first board, the protruding part comprising an opening through which the lens is exposed outward from the in-vehicle camera, the second surface of the first board and the second surface of the second board being covered with the second casing; and
