Monitoring camera having a heater

A monitoring camera having a heating arrangement for supplying heat to a camera window, the monitoring camera comprising:

• a thermally conductive member having a first contacting surface and a second contacting surface, the first contacting surface being in contact with a housing of the camera and the second contacting surface being in contact with a contacting surface of the heating arrangement when a local temperature at the thermally conductive member is below a local temperature threshold, thereby arranged to transfer heat supplied by the heating arrangement to the housing;
• a thermally insulating member having a first contacting surface arranged in close proximity with the housing and a second contacting surface arranged in close proximity with the contacting surface of the heating arrangement, and
• wherein at least one of the thermally conductive member and the thermally insulating member is configured to, when the local temperature at the thermally conductive member and the thermally insulating member increases above the local temperature threshold during operation of the heater, change its extension in a direction perpendicular to the contacting surface of the heating arrangement to:
• enable contact between the first contacting surface of the thermally insulating member and the housing and between the second contacting surface of the thermally insulating member and the contacting surface of the heating arrangement, and
• disable contact between the first contacting surface of the thermally conductive member and the housing and between the second contacting surface of the thermally conductive member and the contacting surface of the heating arrangement, thereby arranged to thermally insulate the housing from the heating arrangement.
