Abstract
A camera assembly includes an insulating block for mounting the camera against a surface in contact therewith and aligned with an opening through the surface. The insulating block defines an aperture therethrough, a lower side of the aperture being aligned with the opening in the surface. The assembly further includes a sink washer mounted to the insulating block in partial contact therewith and extending outward from the top side of the aperture. A camera is mounted to the sink washer and has a lens directed through the aperture in the insulating block and through the opening in the surface. A glass substrate is coupled within the lower side of the aperture to enclose an air gap within the aperture between the glass substrate and a housing of the camera.
