A camera nozzle assembly (100) for cleaning a camera lens is provided. The camera nozzle assembly includes a bracket mount (110) and a nozzle assembly (120). The bracket mount includes a camera aperture (146) for the camera lens and can be mounted to a vehicle. The nozzle assembly is joined to the bracket mount and includes a spray nozzle (160) and an air duct (154). The spray nozzle discharges a cleaning liquid, and the air duct discharges compressed air, each being discharged at a shallow angle relative to a camera lens. The cleaning liquid and the compressed air cooperate to remove foreign matter from the exterior surface of the camera lens, optionally for front-bumper cameras, side-view cameras, rear-bumper cameras, and cameras for semi-autonomous and autonomous operation of passenger vehicles, trucks, buses, and commercial vehicles.
