A more thorough explanation:

Definition: In camera is a Latin term that means "in private". It refers to portions of a legal case that are held in private before a judge, where the press and the public are not allowed to take part. This is done to protect sensitive information.

For example, in the case of United States v. Zolin, the court reviewed certain communications in camera to determine if they were covered by attorney-client privilege. This means that the judge looked at the communications privately, without the public or press present, to decide if they were protected by the law.

In camera proceedings are generally considered less intrusive than public proceedings because they protect sensitive information. They are often used in cases where privacy is important, such as cases involving national security or personal privacy.
