Guys I work in loss prevention and want to install a couple color box camera s shooting down the aisle ways. The ceiling is a suspended ceiling with ceiling tiles. I don't have any more domes around the office and want to see if anyone has any ideas if there are any ways to make a dome. I'd like it to be very discreet if possible.
Thanks

How about using a clear fish bowl or a vase? 
Seriously, buy a dome from a cctv supplier, if that's what you want. Why try to reinvent the wheel?

The Pelco Camclosure is an integrated camera and enclosure. It is too small to fit a standard box camera. In fact, you would need a relatively large dome enclosure (back box) to fit a standard box camera, at least 8". We use the Pelco DF-5 series regularly but we only use it with relatively small cameras like the Pelco CCC13xx and C10 series', the Ikegami ICD505/508 and the Sanyo "cube" cameras.
A lot depends on where you want to aim the camera. The more horizontal the aim direction, the smaller the camera has to be or the larger the dome has to be. This is especially true with longer lenses, ie. 5-50mm.

Videolarm makes them. www.videolarm.com.
As others have mentioned, which dome to use depends on the size of the cameras and how you need to mount it(i.e. surface mount? 2x2 ceiling tile?).
Discreet is a problem because they are big domes.

http://tinyurl.com/5psppm gives you a link to one in a standard 12" enclosure that fits in a drop ceiling tile like the above post are referring to.
I'd use one of these which may be noticed but noone will be sure of which way the camera is pointing compared to a homemade dome cover that they can see through possibly.
Thanks,
John
