Camera (4) for a motor vehicle (1), comprising a housing (10), wherein by the housing (10) a receiving space (11) is bounded, in which a lens module (12) and a circuit board (13) are arranged which are arranged axially spaced apart from each other in the direction of a longitudinal axis (A) so that between them a clearance (14) is formed. Between the circuit board (13) and the lens module (12) an elastic sealing (15) is arranged so that the clearance (14) is sealed by the sealing (15) from the remaining volume space (16) in the housing (10). The sealing (15) comprises a predetermined bending point (21), at which a width (22) of the sealing (15) transverse to the longitudinal axis (A) is minimal, so that in case of an axial compression the sealing (15) is bent transverse to the longitudinal axis (A) at the predetermined bending point (21).
