Camera system housing

An apparatus, comprising:

• a camera system housing including a camera, a gear mechanism and a gear actuation mechanism coupled to the gear mechanism, the camera housing coupled to a computing device, the gear actuation mechanism to cause actuation of the gear mechanism responsive to actuation of the gear actuation mechanism to cause the camera system housing to:
• retract into the computing device to an enclosed position such that the housing is disposed at a first angle relative to the computing device responsive to actuation of the gear mechanism in a first direction;
• and
• open out of the computing device to an open position such that the housing is disposed at a second angle relative to the computing device responsive to actuation of the gear mechanism in a second direction, wherein the gear mechanism is to lock the camera system housing in the enclosed position or the open position.
