Device for protecting a camera for a road vehicle for transporting goods

The device has a protrusion (36) projecting from outside and protecting a camera (28) against from shot shocks when a vehicle travels along a movement direction opposite to the protrusion. An outer concave- or flat shaped deflecting surface (36a) comprises a slope directed toward one of end edges defining an outer side face of a fixing base. The deflecting surface is tangentially connected to an outer external surface of the fixing base. The protrusion partially delimits inner side of housing that is intended to be housed in a shooting unit. An independent claim is also included for a road vehicle body.
