at least one retaining element which has at least one securing portion, by which the at least one retaining element is directly or indirectly secured to the vehicle part, and which has at least one retaining portion to which the at least one retaining element is separably connected by at least one connection element on the side of the at least one camera housing by a sliding movement along a notional connection axis,
wherein at least one retaining portion at least contributes to defining at least one insertion region into which the at least one housing-side connection element is inserted for separable connection to the at least one retaining element,
wherein at least one retaining element has at least one holder-locking element which can interact with at least one housing-locking element on the side of the camera housing to lock a connection between the at least one retaining element and the at least one connection element, at least one holder-locking element being arranged in at least one insertion region, and
wherein the at least one retaining portion and/or the at least one holder-locking element is resiliently movable at least transversely to the connection axis.
