How To Mount A Camera For Maximum Protection

One of the most important factors to protecting your security camera from vandalism is to consider how it is mounted. Regardless of whether it is a dome camera or a fixed security camera, it is less protected when mounted on the surface rather than flush to the wall or ceiling. Being mounted flush to a wall or ceiling means that most of the camera is inside the wall or ceiling and only the transparent part of the camera is visible.

Also, if it is not possible to mount the camera or housing flush to the wall or ceiling, then it is important that the cables are protected as well. Ideally, the cables are pulled directly through the wall or ceiling so no part of the cable is exposed. If this is still not possible, then there are metal conduit tubes available that the cables can be pulled through to protect them from being tampered with.
