A front or rear camera on a rotating arm where rotation of the camera is coupled to movement of the rotating arm such that when the rotating arm is against the front or rear of the car (parallel thereto) the camera points away from the vehicle. When the arm is rotated away from the car, the camera rotates towards the car pointing to one of a left blinker, right blinker, or license plate. This can be controlled via a manual switch in the car which rotates one or both of the camera and rotating arm or automatically as a function of placing the car in reverse or using a turn signal, such as by way of acting on output from a car's diagnostic port.
