    A camera refers to a device that is used to capture images. The basic design of the camera was invented by the Iraqi scientist Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen) and was known as camera obscura. English scientist Robert Boyle and his assistant Robert Hooke later developed a portable camera obscura in the 1660s. The camera was a result of optical experiments conducted by Alhazen, which accidentally gave way to the device that could capture images.
