ABSTRACT:
A camera is provided having a first image capture portion connected to a base by means of a pivot assembly. An electronic imaging sensor is located in the image capture portion and signals from the camera are conveyed by electrical contacts disposed about the base. In order to facilitate electrical communication between the imaging sensor and the electrical contacts over the full pivoting range, an integrated image processing circuit is mounted to a flexible PCB that interconnects the image capture portion with the contacts. The flexible PCB is sufficiently slack to accommodate pivoting of the image capture portion relative to the base.
