I'm looking for a "cage" - to deter anyone from tampering - for my security camera - do you think this would work?

We use it for our light bulb in our dog house. It does open up but the hole on the end is large enough to get your hand in and unscrew the light bulb so the camera would need to be at least as big as your hand holding a light bulb to keep someone from moving it around. If the camera just fit in then you could use plastic ties to secure the edges from opening up. But is your camera as small or smaller than a regular light bulb then someone might be able to turn the camera a little to the side. It screws on but if you were to bolt it to the wood it might make someone think or slow down someone long enough to get their photo. We use it for our light bulb in our dog house.

No. Although well built it is a plastic product that can be removed easily. It is intended to protect from incidental contact not intentional contact.

No-this is easy to remove. It is designed to protect a light bulb from being struck and broken, not for security.

It may if you cold mount it the cage itself is 2 pieces and snaps together it mounts by the 2 screws that hold a porcelain round light fixture to electric box. This is only plastic and be very little use to keep someone from getting at camera

No. It is plastic. Good for preventing the accidental breakage of a light bulb but nowhere near of adequate strength for your application.

This camera is small, but would have to be modified to work in this situation. It has a mounting bracket that is made to be screwed down to a surface, like wood or plastic. This camera requires a constant 12v power source, and you would have to build/buy a 12v battery pack. I would recommend another product for a camera that is worn...they make security cameras that are hidden inside buttons, eye glasses, hats, etc.

Someone else commented that it takes alot to remove this and I agree. Anyone trying to take this will be spending a bit of time trying to remove it. As suggested, tamper proof nuts would seem like a good way to go. A long shank padlock would probably fit over the crossbars and rack and lock it on too.

Bob, this is a wonderful screen, BUT I think you would have to contact the Manufacturer for the answer to this one. In order for a screen to be used for security, it needs to hold the same picture for long periods of time, and on most monitors, that would burn the image on to the screen. I never leave my screen on for long periods of time. I use the sleep mode or turn the screen off, just to be on the safe side. I hope this helps a little! Hi Again Bob- I looked this up and most security companies recommend a CCTV Monitor for security recording and scanning. Good Luck!

You could run a very thin cable though the holes. I've thought about this myself, and wondered how would I keep the cable from coming back through? Make a loop then clamp maybe? I suppose you could drill the holes bigger or add holes with a heavy duty drill and bit, but I personally would not tamper with a high quality safe like this.

I had a difficult time even to get mine to lock and stay closed. In my opinion, it's useless for the flip camera. Other than that, it would probably work. You might need to tape it shut or something.

This is not a real camera, you cannot take video with it. It is a deterrent only.

Unfortunately all types of camera cables are easily cut. Don't let any one tell you otherwise. A pair of wire cutters will neutralize any camera cable. In the surveillance industry the best practice is to place the cable in conduit. If this is not an option positioning the cameras so no one can cut the cables with out being captured by another camera is the next best option. In general you wont have to worry about it though. Put up a few "your under surveillance" signs and make the cameras obvious! No one will mess with them. There presence is generally a good enough deterrent.

You can use the secureview pro software that can with the camera and/or purchase Blue Irish software!

Lol it definitely doesn't have a camera inside it or a camera at all. But I can see someone hooking up a camera in one. But besides that I use it to hide my extra keys or extra money.

Should be fine if your cameras have a hot shoe, if I ever have any questions involving my pocketwizards I go to pocketwizard.com. Great info with video tutorials

These cameras are not vandal proof. If you mount them in a manner that is accessible by miscreants, they will be vulnerable and likely vandalized.

The camera fits loosely inside the safe. It does not require securing it in any way. Hope this helps.

No it would not be the right product for that situation. I would suggest a remote camera with monitor. Will be more $$

No. Just to clarify. This isn't a real camera. It's meant to just look like a camera to scare away potential threats.

There is no way to really secure the camera short of building a case for it or possible using a game camera case. It does have a standard 1/4 20 thread tripod mount on the bottom but that will probably do little for securing it. Frankly there is little one can do to secure any camera if someone wants it bad enough.
