Abstract

To image not only the user in front of a camera but also documents situated below, a rail member is vertically attached to a sidewall of a display case, a slide rod fixing clamp is slidably mounted on the rail member, a slide rod is transversely displaceably mounted on the slide rod fixing clamp, an orthogonal rod is secured to slide rod, and a camera mounting clamp is mounted on the orthogonal rod in such a manner that it is rotatable around the orthogonal rod. Thus, a camera can be positioned lower than in the instance where it is disposed on top of a display. Also, the camera can be directed downward by virtue of the camera mounting clamp.
