1. An information handling system comprising:
a processor operable to execute instructions to process information;
a memory interfaced with the processor and operable to store the instructions and information;
a display interfaced with the processor and operable to present the information as visual images at a display panel, the display panel having a ferromagnetic material backplate disposed at a rear side of the display panel; and
a camera having a camera module and magnet disposed in opposing ends of a housing, the housing having a size, the magnet attracted to the ferromagnetic material backplate to hold the camera at the display panel with the camera module aligned to capture a field of view at a front position of the display;
wherein the ferromagnetic material backplate has plural ridges that define plural adjacent crossbeams having recessed areas with greater distance between the display panel and ferromagnetic material than non-recessed areas, the dimension of the crossbeams proportional to the camera housing size to maintain a substantially constant magnetic attraction for the magnet to the ferromagnetic material across the plural adjacent crossbeams.
