Abstract
In certain embodiments, a video camera system includes a camera housing including a back side, a plurality of concentric electrical traces disposed on the back side of the camera housing, and a notched mounting apparatus disposed on the back side of the camera housing, where the notched mounting apparatus can be operable to receive and secure a modular attachment to the camera housing such that the modular attachment is mechanically and rotatably coupled to the camera housing. In some implementations, the one or more of the concentric electrical traces can be configured to contact one or more electrical contacts of the modular attachment and remain in contact with the one or more electrical contacts as the camera housing is rotated with respect to the modular attachment.
