My school recently purchased a few camera/domes that weigh just over a pound and a half each. Since I'm the only one employed in the district that is mechanically/technologically inclined, I got the job of installing them. I'm begging for a bit of advice as to whether/how they could be mounted in drop ceiling tile.....any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!

THANKS again for all the suggestions. I think I'm going to go with strips of 1/4" ply and drywall screws to anchor the mounting plate......shouldn't be too bad.

This method makes a lot of sense to me. Do you use wood screws into the ply, or nuts and bolts with washers?

Thanks for the help!!! Do you lay the ply directly on top of the tile, or on the ceiling grid??
