Abstract
This disclosure describes a system including an imaging device. The imaging device includes an imaging unit with a lens that focuses light onto an image sensor that produces image data, wherein the image data is only stored by the imaging device for transfer to and processing by an external device. The imaging device includes a control interface that provides commands to the imaging unit. The system also includes a mount with a wall that releasably secures the imaging device and provides access to the control interface and a securing structure that secures the mount to a variety of locations.

1-15. (canceled)
A system, comprising:
- an imaging device, comprising:
- an imaging unit with a lens that focuses light onto an image sensor that produces image data, wherein the image data is stored by the imaging device for transfer to and processing by an external device;
- a first input/output module comprising an electronic contact location, wherein the electronic contact location is disposed on an exterior surface of the imaging device;
- and
- a control interface that provides commands to the imaging unit;
- and
- a housing defining a cavity within which sides of the imaging device are releasably secured without restricting access to the control interface of the imaging device.
A housing for an imaging device, comprising:
- walls defining a cavity configured to receive and releasably secure the imaging device within the housing such that access to a lens of the imaging device is unrestricted;
- and
- an input/output module configured to couple to an input/output module of the imaging device when the imaging device is secured within the housing,
- wherein the housing is configured to supply a charge to the imaging device based on coupling the input/output module of the housing and the input/output module of the imaging device.
An imaging device, comprising;
- an imaging unit with a lens that focuses light onto an image sensor that produces image data, wherein the image data is only stored by the imaging device for transfer to and processing by an external device;
