A member asked for recommendations on suppliers for cages to enclose surveillance cameras (this case, PTZs). For example, a gym type scenario where balls are being thrown that might hit / damage the camera.

Any recommendations?

These are what we use typically. Once in a while you have to cut out a section or two though.

Looks like there's a good number of IK10 PTZs on the market these days as well.

Who makes a cage for a full size PTZ camera?

I don’t know that there is a specific cage but STI used to have some that would fit over the AD PTZ’s. Basically just a square or rectangular cage with the back open. Worked really well in a GYM.

One supplier for protective covers and cages is STI. See www.sti-usa.com . They will also custom make cages.

STI by far your best bet

Cages seem possibly problematic for PTZ’s, since they are constantly auto-focused and might choose the wire to focus on.   

What is the exact application?  For protection from wayward balls in an indoor gym, why not use a larger acrylic dome?

IK10? LOL. It sounds good until it meets a teenager with a skateboard hitting it with full force with the wheels. Smashed 3 "vandal resistant" cameras in less than 48 hours at a local skatepark.
