    From the plugs screwed strictly to polystyrene, probably stronger - but following this path and combining it with foam in such a way, we will soon come to the conclusion that the camera itself can also be glued on the foam - which would be unimaginable stupidity.
    I realize that the domes are light and that probably no one will sabotage it on these 6 meters, but let's keep a little professionalism. Chemical anchors are much better than foam-embedded pins.

    There is no need to overdo it - probably no one would think to attach it to the foam.

    Only explain this to the investor, who will think that he is being stretched for additional costs, since company X installed at a friend on ordinary polystyrene screws. Unfortunately, the costs will be much higher - playing with anchors + sheet metal will take a lot of time, apart from the material.

    The creativity of beginner installers knows no bounds, I suspect that somewhere in Poland there is already a camera hanging like that ;)

    As for the main thread, you are right it is more expensive, but I prefer to compromise and explain to the client the subtle difference between these assemblies, even by conducting a demo with a piece of polystyrene and a screw-in pin.
    Think how you will explain yourself to the client if God forbid such a camera will fly away from the facade? ;)
    And, of course, what opinion will the investor give to CI ;)

    If you want no one to accuse you of assembly slyness, just look for a nice boom and it will be ok. Every professional takes care of such details. In a moment, the client may become convinced of the cameras and invite you to mount another one on the same extension arm but directed in the opposite direction or with a different focal length. If you want, I'll give you some suggestions. Cheap and proven, and they make an impression.

    Long pegs + foam somehow managed - no chance to tear it off with your hand. As for the boom, I would love to see something interesting. Until now, I have installed the booms only where it was necessary due to the lack of visibility, or possibly too low mounting.

    Fischer FID 50 ... you can hang really heavy cameras on them, just be careful not to force it when setting the camera.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around solutions for mounting cameras on polystyrene facades, particularly addressing the challenges posed by the material's structural integrity. Users suggest various methods, including the use of long pins, chemical anchors, and wooden blocks to enhance stability. Specific recommendations include using Fischer products for heavy cameras, such as the CDR 805 Q from Vidicon, and employing techniques like cutting out spaces for wooden blocks or using metal sheets to distribute weight. The importance of selecting appropriate dowels and screws, as well as the potential use of assembly foam for added support, is emphasized. The conversation also touches on the aesthetic implications of different mounting solutions and the need for professional installation to ensure durability and safety.
