A camera protection device, a protected camera and a vehicle having a protected camera, all include a weatherproof housing having a lower portion for holding a camera and an upper portion, a movable protective domed cover, and a mechanism for selectively moving the domed cover in front of the lower portion in a closed position or above the lower portion in an open position. The mechanism includes a motor that is operatively connected to the domed cover. A cleaning brush vertically wipes across the lower portion when the mechanism moves the domed cover. A seal seals between the domed cover and the lower portion when the domed portion is in front of the lower portion in a closed position. The mechanism includes a cable, a pivot for pivoting the domed cover, and a linkage connecting the motor to the domed cover. A belt operatively connects the motor to the linkage.
