PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an on-vehicle camera which enables a shutter and a wiper to be operated independently and provides continuous images.SOLUTION: An on-vehicle camera includes: a camera module 13 mounted on a vehicle; a shutter driving mechanism which drives a shutter 64 for opening or closing a lens part 14 of the camera module 13; a wiper driving mechanism which drives a wiper 78 for wiping the lens part 14; one driving motor 30 which drives the shutter driving mechanism or the wiper driving mechanism through a driving force transmission mechanism; and a switching lever 50 which transmits a driving force of the driving force transmission mechanism to one of the shutter driving mechanism and the wiper driving mechanism.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】シャッタとワイパとを独立して動作させることができ、継続した画像を提供することのできる車載カメラを提供する。【解決手段】車両に搭載されるカメラモジュール１３と、カメラモジュール１３のレンズ部１４の開閉を行うシャッタ６４を駆動するシャッタ駆動機構と、レンズ部１４の拭き取りを行うワイパ７８を駆動するワイパ駆動機構と、シャッタ駆動機構またはワイパ駆動機構を駆動力伝達機構を介して駆動する１つの駆動モータ３０と、駆動力伝達機構の駆動力を、シャッタ駆動機構またはワイパ駆動機構のいずれかに伝達する切替レバー５０と、を備えている。【選択図】図３
