Has Anyone used bulletproof glass to protect a camera?

[Nathanmf 0]

I have a customer who's site is being fired at with what we think is a .22 calibre rifle.

 

We are going to put a ptz near the roadside so that we can zoom in on the location of the person firing and hopefully identify.

 

But we don't want them to be able to simply shoot out the camera.

 

Can anyone recommend a out of the box solution?

 

Does anyone have experience with mounting bulletproof glass around/in front f a ptz?

 

Any recommendations would be much appreciated

I have used 3/4" lexan, which is mighty close to bulletproof but I honestly don't recommend it unless you have excellent lighting and external IR. The camera sometimes has issues dealing with focusing unless it is RIGHT up against the glass. We ended up gluing a piece of foam to the glass and sticking the camera inside the foam to prevent all reflection.
