A vehicular camera module configured to be disposed at an in-cabin side of a windshield of a vehicle includes a housing and a camera disposed at the housing. The camera includes a lens barrel and an imager. The housing houses a primary circuit board having a processor for processing image data captured by the camera. A glare shield is disposed at the housing and below and forward of the lens of the camera. The glare shield, with the vehicular camera module disposed at the in-cabin side of the windshield, reduces stray light incident at the lens of the camera. The glare shield includes a heat dissipating feature at a lower surface of the glare shield opposite an upper surface that faces the vehicle windshield when the vehicular camera module is disposed at the in-cabin side of the windshield.
