Abstract
An electronic outer mirror device includes a camera to assist visual recognition by an occupant of a vehicle, a visor configured to house the camera, and a base configured to support the visor such that the visor is capable of moving. The electronic outer mirror device further includes a first tube that is provided on the base side and through which passes a fluid to be ejected onto the camera in order to secure a field of view of the camera. The electronic outer mirror device further includes a second tube that is provided on the visor side such that when the visor is positioned at a predetermined position with respect to the base a base side of the second tube is connected to the first tube so as to enable passage of the fluid from the first tube, and when the visor is positioned at a different position from the predetermined position with respect to the base the base side of the second tube is disconnected from the first tube.
