     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure. 
     Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented. 
     The term “substantially” is defined to be essentially conforming to the particular dimension, shape, or other feature that the term modifies, such that the component need not be exact. For example, “substantially cylindrical” means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can have one or more deviations from a true cylinder. The term “comprising” when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series and the like. 
     The present disclosure is described in relation to a camera assembly 
       FIGS. 1-3  illustrate one embodiment of a camera assembly  100 . The camera assembly  100  includes a cover  10 , an operation tab  20 , a transmission member  30 , a baffle plate  40 , a fixing member  50 , a camera member  60 , and a panel  70 . 
     The cover  10  defines a mounting groove  12 . The operation tab  20  includes a first transmission post  22 . The transmission member  30  includes a transmission plate  32  and a connecting post  34 . The connecting post  34  extends from the transmission plate  32 . The transmission plate  32  defines a first groove  320  and a second groove  322 , both the first groove  320  and the second groove  322  can extend along a straight line. Two straight lines form an acute angle. The connecting post  34  includes a latching portion  340  and a stopper portion  342 . The latching portion  340  extends from the transmission plate  32 . The stopper portion  342  extends from the latching portion  340 . A cross section of the stopper portion  342  is greater than a cross section of the latching portion  340 . The baffle plate  40  includes a sliding plate  42 , a second transmission post  44 , a protrusion  46 , and a shielding tab  48 . The shielding tab  48  extends from the sliding plate  42  and is substantially perpendicular to the sliding plate  42 . The second transmission post  44  and the protrusion  46  extend from the two sides of the sliding plate  42  and are located on the one end of the sliding plate  42 . The fixing member  50  includes a mounting plate  52  and a fixing plate  54 . The fixing plate  54  extends from the mounting plate  52 . A guiding groove  520  and a connecting hole  522  are defined in the mounting plate  52 . A first hole  5220  and a second hole  5222  are defined in the connecting hole  522 . The first hole  5220  communicates with the second hole  5222 . Two fixing holes  540  are defined in the fixing plate  54 . The camera member  60  includes a camera  62 . The panel  70  defines a receiving space  72 . An opening  720  is defined in the receiving space  72 . The panel  70  further includes two fixing posts  74 . The two fixing posts  74  are located on the two sides of the opening  720 . 
       FIGS. 4-6  illustrate assembled views of the camera assembly of  FIG. 1 . When the camera assembly  100  is assembled, the camera member  60  is received in the receiving space  72 . 
     The camera  62  aligns with the opening  720 . The two fixing posts  74  are engaged with the two fixing holes  540  to fix the fixing member  50  with the panel  70 . The camera member  60  is located between the fixing member  50  and the panel  70 . The mounting plate  52  is sheathed with the sliding plate  42 . The protrusion  46  extends into the guiding groove  520 . The shielding tab  48  is received in the opening  720 . The connecting post  34  moves from the first hole  5220  to the second hole  5222 . The latching portion  340  is engaged with the second hole  5222 . The second transmission post  44  extends into the second groove  322 . The cover  10  is fixed with the panel  70 . The first transmission post  22  passes through the mounting groove  12  and extends into the first groove  320 . The operation tab  20  is mounted on the cover  10 . The shielding tab  48  is covering one side of the camera  62 . 
     When the camera assembly  100  is in use, the operation tab  20  moves along an operating direction within the mounting groove  12 . The first transmission post  22  moves within the first groove  320  pushing the transmission member  30  to rotate about the connecting post  34 . The transmission member  30  then drives the second transmission post  44  to move. The shielding tab  48  is moved within the opening  720 . A moving direction of the shielding tab  48  is substantially perpendicular to the operating direction. The shielding tab  48  can cover the camera  62 . 
     The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Many details are often found in the art such as the other features of a camera assembly. Therefore, many such details are neither shown nor described. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the details, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure, up to and including the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims. It will therefore be appreciated that the embodiments described above may be modified within the scope of the claims.
