Image recording device provided with a fixed part for at least partial inclusion in and/or on the body of a motor vehicle, and a movable part which comprises at least one optical element, the optical element comprising at least one optical sensor and/or a lens unit, and an adjustment device provided with a power source, for adjusting the movable part between a first position and a second position, wherein during use in the first position the movable part is wholly or partly included in the body, and in the second position the movable part extends at an angle with respect to the body, such that at least the optical element carried by the movable part extends at least partly outside the body, wherein the movable part pivots from the second position about a, preferably substantially vertical, axis to the first position and vice versa.
An image recording device provided with a fixed part for at least partial inclusion on the body of a motor vehicle, and a movable part which contains at least one optical element, the optical element comprising at least one optical sensor and/or a lens unit, and an adjustment device, provided with a power source, for adjusting the movable part between a first position and a second position, wherein during use in the first position the movable part is in a folded in position, and in the second position the movable part extends at an angle with respect to the body, such that at least the optical element carried by the movable part extends at least partly outside the body, wherein the movable part pivots from the second position about a, substantially vertical, axis to the first position and vice versa, wherein:
An image recording device provided with a fixed part for mounting on the body of a motor vehicle, and a movable part which contains at least one optical element, the optical element comprising at least one optical sensor and/or a lens unit, and an adjustment device, provided with a power source, for adjusting the movable part between a first position and a second position, wherein during use in the first position the movable part is in a position folded against the body, and in the second position the movable part extends at an angle with respect to the body, such that at least the optical element carried by the movable part extends at least partly outside the body, wherein the movable part pivots from the second position about an axis to the first position and vice versa, wherein the movable part is movable between the first position and the second position with the aid of the adjusting device, wherein the movable part, viewed from the first position, is movable beyond the second position to a third position by an external force exerted on the movable part, wherein the first position defines a fold-in position, the second position a fold-out position and the third position a fold-over position.
An image recording device provided with a fixed part for mounting on the body of a motor vehicle, and a movable part which contains at least one optical element, the optical element comprising at least one optical sensor and/or a lens unit, and an adjustment device, provided with a power source, for adjusting the movable part between a first position and a second position, wherein during use in the first position the movable part is in a position folded against the body, and in the second position the movable part extends at an angle with respect to the body, such that at least the optical element carried by the movable part extends at least partly outside the body, wherein the movable part pivots from the second position about an axis to the first position and vice versa, wherein the movable part is movable between the first position and the second position with the aid of the adjusting device, wherein a control unit is provided for control of the image recording device, with which control an optical axis of the optical means of the device can be set, in one of:
