The camera represents our view in the 3D space; one way to explore and see more of the space is by moving the camera. The Camera class is defined as follows:

pi3d.Camera.Camera(at=(0, 0, 0), eye=(0, 0, -0.1), 
                   lens=None, is_3d=True, scale=1.0)

Other features of the camera, such as its field of view (lens) and so on, can be adjusted or used with the default settings.

If we didn't define a camera in our display, a default one will be created that points at the origin (the center of the display, that is, 0,0,0), positioned slightly in front of it (0,0,-0.1 ...
