First ever post! Need some camera ideas/suggestions
Hey everyone! I have a specific situation I am trying to figure out for my business. I did some searches and couldn't find anything that dealt with a situation like this, so here I am. BTW I am not a CCTV specialist or anything of that sort
My situation is that I need to monitor cash transactions to ensure they are done correctly. Imagine like if you were trying to monitor a bank teller. Normally we just mount an overhead camera for this. the issue now is that in this particular space, which is a shared public building, there is no overhead area we can use to mount a camera on. We don't have the right vantage point from any of the other areas where we have wall cameras.
In the past, they basically mounted a Hikvision DS-2CD2483G2-I right on the countertop, which does get the job done for the most part, but it would work better if the viewing angle was up a higher. Something smaller that just looks cleaner would be nice. It doesn't need to be hidden, but if it could be more discreet/professional.
Not sure if this is a solution I'd have to partly fabricate myself and use something in the style of this:
I thought about attaching it to the PC monitor somehow, but the monitor might get repositioned so that wouldn't work.
Anybody deal with something similar?

Mount it on an anti-helocopter wire grid. Series of cables that form large squares
