A camera assembly of a motor vehicle includes a carrier which is adapted to be fastened to the motor vehicle and a camera unit which is immovably fastened to the carrier and has an objective. A cleaning unit is supported on the carrier and is connected to a fluid line that conducts a cleaning fluid which is used to clean the objective. A flap element is provided which is adapted to be moved into a cleaning position and into a resting position.
