Abstract

A water-resistant camera housing comprises a pair of housing sections, and a waterproof sealing band covering a seam between the housing sections to provide a water-resistant seal for the seam. The pair of housing sections are joined at an integral flexible hinge in line with the seam to constitute a single-piece housing. The sealing band has a pair of opposite end portions that are located adjacent one another over the flexible hinge.
