First, an overview of the camera mounted on the left side of the image: 

And then a close up of the camera's mounting:

So what do you recommend?

I would tear a sizable hole in the ceiling tile and free-air white PVC cat5 down to a mishmash of black EMT purchased at Menards.  I would then find the largest white Axis housing possible and mount an Axis M-series camera (for cybersecurity) into it.

I think that might actually be a Panavise flexmount. Possibly indicating the camera location is temporary, or meant to be repositioned.

I think I would drop a 1/2” white pipe down to a pendant cap.

This particular camera installed base on the picture , in my opinion is not a Fisheye camera in the first place.

This look more like Axis M50 miniature PTZ camera use to pan and tilt in the prescribe environment as M50 PTZ do not have paranomic lens or fisheye lens

The lens on this camera is 3.6mm F 1.8 

 

If this is a fisheye camera , the camera should be mounted in the center of the false ceiling or with a drop down pole taking full advantage of the coverage it is capable of.

I liked going through Atlanta a few weeks ago...  Hopefully they were not using cameras embedded in the drop ceiling...  Nice aesthetics...

Nice aesthetics...

Granted, but picking asbestos out of your hair makes it almost not worth it;)

I’m sitting in concourse B at ATL right now. This concourse has ceiling tiles.

Wow John, what feedback did you provide exactly? It seems like the fastest way to get A response from a company is to post on social media.
