A camera system includes a housing and camera modules (e.g., digital cameras) that are aligned with fields of view that extend below the housing. The camera modules are provided about a perimeter of the housing and mounted to a bench within the housing. Two camera modules have axes of orientation extending below and away from a centroid of the camera system. Two camera modules have axes of orientation extending below and toward the centroid of the camera system. The housing includes inlets and outlets that enable air to flow past the camera modules and other components within the housing. Images captured by the camera modules of the camera system may be utilized for any purpose.

Hybrid omnidirectional camera systems

A camera mount includes a pivotable assembly of a pair of arms and a pocket into which an end of one of the arms is inserted, in one of a plurality of discrete orientations. The arms are pivotably joined to one another by a fastener and permitted to be aligned at one of a plurality of angles. The camera mount is installed in a track, a rail or another system mounted to a fixture of a materials handling facility or another environment, and a camera module is mounted to another end of one of the arms. A position of the camera module is selected by installing the camera mount into a desired location on the track, the rail or the other system. An orientation of the camera module is selected by selecting the one of the plurality of discrete orientations and aligning the arms at one of the plurality of angles.
