A camera system for detecting the surroundings of a vehicle through a vehicle window pane (1), having a camera (2) having an image sensor (4) for recording images, a first optical radiation (6) generated by the vehicle surroundings being detectable by a sensor surface (10) of the image sensor (4), and having a radiation source (3) for emitting a second optical radiation (7). At least a portion of the emitted second optical radiation (7) is detectable by the sensor surface (10) of the image sensor (4), and the portion of the second optical radiation (7) detected by the sensor surface (10) is a function of a state of the vehicle window pane (1). The first optical radiation (6) and the second optical radiation (7) are jointly detectable via at least one partial area (8, 9) of the sensor surface (10). According to the present invention a method is also provided for detecting the surroundings of a vehicle, in which the state of the window pane is determined on the basis of the detected first and second optical radiation.
