Description DF5 Series domes are discreet surveillance domes that are designed for indoor or outdoor use. Models include pendant and in-ceiling versions. In-ceiling models have plenum-rated back boxes and can be installed in hard ceilings or standard 2 x 2 ft (6 x 61 cm) suspended ceilings. Indoor pendant models come in light gray or black finish. Outdoor pendant models are light gray only and include a heater that allows operation down to -60°F (-51°C).
