Camera vandal protection

[Darryl-in-Jersey 0]

I have a Panasonic BB-HCM531A outdoor camera. My customer is worried about vandalism. Does anybody have any idea how I can protect this camera? I can't seem to find a protective covering for this particular camera. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

 

Thank you,

Is there a vandal-proof option? Only thing I can think of!

 

Maybe if you mounted it in a corner, you could fit a plexiglass cover over it, and fasten to the walls?

I thought so too, but my customer seems to want a protective cover manufactured by Panasonic. It does not exist. The customer is 600 miles away so I need to be sure what I'm putting up before I drive there. Hopefully they'll go for the plexi-glass idea!

 

Thanks,

Explain that Pansonic make the cameras not the hardware that is left to other companies.

What about a wire mesh cage on a wall hinge like the following.

You can always remove a section and replace with the plexiglass for unhindered viewing.

I have installed three of these and found a spray with mat black paint eliminates any trouble

with stray reflections on a sunny day. I haven't even had any spiders webs to speak of.

It doesn't stop pigeons roosting though. If vandals throw eggs it breaks them up a treat.

Omelet anyone?

Any idea where I can get one of these? It looks great. I will definately go with this if I can find one.

 

Thanks again
