Abstract
A device for capturing images of the outer area of a motor vehicle includes a camera, a carrier, a cover and a movement element. The movement element is rotatably mounted on a first rotational axis of the carrier and a transmission element is rotatably mounted on a second rotational axis of the carrier. The transmission element is integrally molded onto the cover. The movement element and the transmission element are connected to one another via a cover connection. When the movement element moves from a standby position into an intermediate position, the cover is moved from a closed position into an open position. The movement element and the camera are connected to one another via a camera connection. Movement of the movement element from the intermediate position into an operating position keeps the cover in the open position and moves the camera from a rest position into an active position.
