ADNet CCTV Cage Jaali Protection for Bullet and Dome Camera

Protecting your surveillance equipment is just as important as the surveillance itself. Whether you’re dealing with potential vandalism, accidental impact in a warehouse, or curious wildlife, a CCTV Protection Cage (Jaali) acts as a physical firewall for your cameras.

Here is a detailed breakdown of the descriptions for both Bullet and Dome camera protections.

 Product Overview: CCTV Camera Cages

These cages are typically constructed from heavy-duty mild steel or galvanized iron with a powder-coated finish to prevent rusting. They are designed to allow a clear field of view while making it nearly impossible for someone to knock, tilt, or smash the camera.

1. Bullet Camera Protection Cage

Bullet cameras are particularly vulnerable because of their protruding “arm” design, which makes them easy to grab or bend.

• Design: Usually rectangular or box-shaped with a tapered front.

• Key Features:

  • Extended Length: Designed to accommodate the lens and the sunshield of the bullet camera.

  • Anti-Vandalism: Prevents the camera from being pulled down or redirected.

  • Heat Dissipation: The open “Jaali” (mesh) design ensures the camera doesn’t overheat during 24/7 operation.

• Best For: Perimeter walls, parking lots, and low-hanging outdoor installations.

2. Dome Camera Protection Cage

Dome cameras are often installed on ceilings or soffits. While they are naturally more discreet, they are still prone to being hit by balls in sports arenas or equipment in warehouses.

• Design: Circular or hemispherical “basket” shape.

• Key Features:

  • Wide Mesh Spacing: Specially aligned wires ensure that the IR (Infrared) LEDs don’t reflect off the cage back into the lens (which causes “white-out” at night).

  • Low Profile: Fits snugly against the ceiling or wall to maintain a clean aesthetic.

  • Impact Resistance: Specifically reinforced at the crown of the dome.

• Best For: Corridors, warehouses, gymnasiums, and public transport hubs.

Why Install a “Jaali”?

1. Cost Savings: Replacing a cage is significantly cheaper than replacing a $200+ 4K camera.

2. Deterrence: A cage signals to intruders that the premises are highly secured and “hardened.“

3. Nature Proof: Prevents birds from nesting on the camera or squirrels from chewing on the cables.

Pro-Tip: When installing, ensure the cage is centered perfectly. If the wires are too close to the lens, you may see a “shadow” in your footage, especially when the camera switches to Night Mode.
