1. An anti-fogging apparatus for a camera assembly comprising:
a thermally conductive plate having a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface, the thermally conductive plate defining a first aperture configured to align with a lens of a camera;
a transparent plate positioned in front of the lens of the camera and configured to align with the first aperture;
a gasket positioned between the thermally conductive plate and the transparent plate and that defines a second aperture configured to align with the first aperture;
a case that houses the thermally conductive plate, the transparent plate, and the gasket; and
at least one fastener passing through at least one opening in the case and at least one opening in the thermally conductive plate that align with each other.
