Abstract
A modular video assembly is mounted on an exterior surface of a vehicle and includes an elongated housing and a camera. The housing presents spaced apart housing ends and a chamber between the housing ends. The camera is removably mounted at least partly within the chamber. The housing presents an inboard mounting surface that extends longitudinally between the housing ends, with the mounting surface operable to be opposed to the exterior surface when the assembly is mounted to the vehicle. The housing presents an outboard exposed surface that extends longitudinally to at least partly cover the chamber and is located outboard of the mounting surface. At least part of the exposed surface projects outboard of the camera to protect the camera when the assembly is mounted to the vehicle.
