How can I go about moving my camera smoothly

The following code is crouching for a first person camera. When the player presses left CTRL, the camera moves down on its Y-axis to the crouch height, then if the player presses it again, it will return the height to the original Y Value. How can I make it so that the transition between the two values is smooth?

void checkCrouch()
    {
        originalHeight = crouchDepth * -1f;
        if (isCrouched == true)
        {
            Debug.Log("nowcrouching");
            Vector3 newPosition = transform.position; // We store the current position
            newPosition.y += crouchDepth; // We set a axis, in this case the y axis
            transform.position = newPosition;
           
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.Log("nolongercrouching");
            Vector3 newPosition = transform.position; // We store the current position
            newPosition.y += originalHeight;// We set a axis, in this case the y axis
            transform.position = newPosition;

        }
    }

You will have to update the Y axis over a period of time, so you store a goal value to go to whenever you change the is crouching and use Lerp() to smooth it out.

public float crouchDepth = 1.0f;
public float smoothTime = 0.5f;
private float smoothTimer = 0;
private float lastYOffset = 0;
private float fromYOffset = 0;
private float toYOffset = 0;
bool isCrouched = false;
bool isCrouchedLast = false;
void Update()
{
    if (isCrouched != isCrouchedLast) //detect if changed
    {
        if (isCrouched)
        {
            toYOffset = crouchDepth;
        }
        else
        {
            toYOffset = 0;
        }
        fromYOffset = lastYOffset;
        smoothTimer = 0;
        isCrouchedLast = isCrouched;
    }
    smoothTimer += Time.deltaTime;
    float yOffset = Mathf.Lerp(fromYOffset, toYOffset, smoothTimer / smoothTime);
    //if you know the position without the yOffset added this could be simpler...
    Vector3 newPosition = transform.position;
    newPosition.y -= lastYOffset;
    newPosition.y += yOffset;
    lastYOffset = yOffset;
    transform.position = newPosition;
}
