A camera housing includes a main body having four sides that form a cavity to receive a camera, a door detachably coupled to the main body, and an exposed area in the main body allowing a user to manipulate a button on the camera or access an I/O or microphone interface of the camera. The camera housing includes an indicator window substantially aligning with a visible indicator on the camera, a latch detachably securing a first side of the door to a first side of the main body; and a hinge coupling a second side of the door to a second side of the main body. The camera housing includes securing protrusions that interlock with corresponding mounting protrusions extending from a camera mount. A front face and a rear face of the camera are exposed when the camera is secured by the door in the camera housing.
