    Abstract: A camera module attaches a camera to a motor vehicle. The camera module includes a camera unit having an optical axis, and a support configured for accommodating the camera. The support has a main positioning surface transversal to the optical axis, such as when the camera is mounted with the support the front contact surface of the camera and the main positioning surface are in contact. A cover is attachable to the support to retain the camera pressed against the support in a direction parallel to the optical axis. First pressure means are provided in the cover or in the support, and as when the cover is fastened with the support, the pressure means press the camera unit against the support in a direction parallel to the optical axis (X) or perpendicular to the main positioning surface.
