The Pelco DF8A-1 is a low cost dome enclosure that can be used to house a Pelco fixed CCTV camera. With its 8" interior, this model is about 3" roomier than the DF5 versions, and will accommodate some of Pelco's larger camera and lens combinations. Pelco also designed it for easy installation, with an internal fixed bracket providing 360° horizontal camera positioning, and a lower dome that can be removed for easy camera access.
Installs in Hard or Drop Ceiling
This dome can be used to discreetly install a fixed camera inside a hard ceiling or a standard 2 x 2' (61 x 61cm) drop ceiling. Because of the dome's compact form, only as little as 5.2" (13.2cm) of overhead space above the ceiling is required for installation. Pelco also provided it with multiple cable holes positioned in the top and sides of the back box to allow cable insertion from any direction.
Optional Hardware Available
For drop ceiling installations, Pelco offers the optional DF8A-P aluminum faceplate, which replaces an existing 2' x 2' (61 x 61mm) existing ceiling tile. Also available as an option are two 26" (66.04cm) aluminum rails (DF8A-R) to support the dome in the drop ceiling. These rails can also be used for additional support in hard ceiling applications.
