Camera Having a Separate Image Capture Module and a Method of Assembling the Camera

This camera design uses a main body that connects to at least one sealed image capture module. This module, which contains the sensor, optics, and a lens mount, can be swapped out, offering environmental protection and modularity for the core imaging components.

Why it matters: Since 2018, advancements in compact, high-performance sensors and sealed manufacturing techniques have made modular, ruggedized camera systems more feasible. This allows for cost-effective, specialized camera solutions in industrial or drone applications.

Status: ExpiredProtection ended and was never renewed
How hard to build: SpecializedPrecision optics, sealed electronics, custom housing, lens mount.
