securitymonster 0 Posted July 14, 2006 What type of camera and/or mount would you use for a truss type ceiling. use the picture as representation as its a much smaller scale than this. The "truss" like beams are maybe 1.5 inches wide and drop about 12 inches from the ceiling with about 18 inches between each beam. The ceiling is maybe only 10 feet from the ground so they would be easy to reach and mess with too. This is outdoors. I've already talked them into wall mounted vandal domes on the side walls instead of from the ceiling but not sure they are going to go for it.... Watch you got?

jisaac 0 Posted July 14, 2006 ya i would go for a vpd with conduit knockouts. Or try a mount like this http://catalog2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ModelDetail?displayTab=O&storeId=11201&catalogId=13051&itemId=93572&catGroupId=14691&modelNo=PHM474SA&surfModel=PHM474SA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hometownsecurity 0 Posted October 2, 2006 Do you have any suggestions for mounting to metal truss ceiling? I would like to find some type of clamp to avoid driling the beams. I was looking at a Honeywell dome that attaches to a 3/4 conduit, but I still have to find a way to attach the conduit to the trusses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cctv_down_under 0 Posted October 2, 2006 Most doems come with a surface mount kit to allow conduit to slide in the side, but as you correctly stated you still need to clip the conduit on.....PS I found an awesome tool the other day, it is an explosive tool that puts in U clamps even into solid concrete, you simply lay your conduit and cable on the ground...put a clasp into the gun and in less than a few minutes you have done loads of cable run ...it really is simple becasue you do not need to drill at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
