Abstract
A mounting adaptor is provided for use with a standard electric utility meter base, or the like, upon which a typical instant-picture camera is mounted and focused upon a meter to be read. The instant-picture camera is set up with triggerable activation means to automatically produce a photograph of said meter to be read. A timer is in communication with the camera activation means, and at given intervals will trigger the instant-picture camera to photograph the meter to be read, thereby producing a photographic document of the reading, and then automatically deposit the finished document into a security compartment of the mounting adaptor apparatus, after which the document may then be collected at a convenient time by one authorized to access said compartment.
