variador 0 Posted July 7, 2014 Sometimes video cameras can be quite offensive. Here is a 3d printed ceiling mount for four video cameras. There are signs posted that the premises have video surveillance in case people think someone is trying to pull a fast one. There are also one or two other cameras mounted in the same area that have the regular video camera appearance. One cat5 cable goes to this mount for the video and one cat 5 for the power. At the DVR one cable brings back all four video feeds to baluns that go to the 16 input DVR. This helps to cut down cable clutter at the DVR. Only 3d printed the entire fixture once. The required amount of time printing was restrictive. Now we use inexpensive track lighting. All the electrical is stripped out. Wires from the Cat5 cable are run in the old electrical wires place. A round plate is 3d printed to fit into the fixture with a hole in the center. The camera gets mounted to this plate. The balun and the power plugs fit behind the plate holding the camera in the track lighting fixture. Cameras in the track are easily adjustable to any direction and height. The wires drop out of the ceiling to the base of the fixture. We have put cameras like this in with regular track lighting too. Haven't posted an IMG in a while so this one is a test. If anyone wants to see what the track lighting idea looks like I could post that later.

variador 0 Posted July 7, 2014 Here is the picture from the last message that didn't seem to work right. Can't find a picture of the track lighting right now. When it is mounted on the ceiling it looks like track lighting. There is one that hasn't been mounted yet. That can get posted later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
variador 0 Posted July 7, 2014 Here is a camera mixed with regular lights in the track. It is covering the front door. This plate is silver/grey and has since been replaced with white. Ran out of white for a while. The grey makes it easy for you to see. No one noticed it enough to say anything about it even in grey. Here is a close up of another fitting. It is not track lighting but close. Again all the electrical stripped out and replaced with the wiring for the cameras. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
variador 0 Posted July 7, 2014 Ugh, Sorry, tried to attach two images and it didn't work. Here is the second image. It must have been too many k. I will resize it and keep my fingers crossed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
