Just a thought

a local clinic / hospital has just installed CCTV system and their
outside roof mounted PTZ cameras are all mounted on extended pendent mounts.

each of the 4 corners has a pendent on a 10' pole the view is great. 
each one can see the roof, 2 sides of the building and all out in the
parking lots.

being about 4-5 feet above the edging of the roof, the cameras can see
each others..

I'd love to see them  but alas I didn't do the job..

          I have a project that involves getting a view of a roof. The
          problem is that the roof is the only place for the camera to
          be mounted and getting the right view is a challenge. So I was
          wondering if a convex mirror were mounted on a light pole and
          zoom in on the convex mirror would provide the necessary view.
          <br>
          <br>
          Now I know physically and technically it is possible. What I
          don't know are what are the challenges or unknown problems
          involved in setting this up.
          <br>
          <br>
          The camera distance to the convex mirror will be about 60' and
          I will need at least a 60mm lens to zoom in on the mirror.
          <br>
          <br>
          Anyone here ever done this and what are the difficulties
          experienced??

      Actually the customers desire for the view of the roof is to
      ensure
      <br>
      or verify that the ice melt wiring that was installed is doing its
      job.
      <br>
      <br>
      I kid you not!!!!  Big concerns that snow and I build up will
      happen
      <br>
      and it needs to be monitored by staff so that proper action can
      <br>
      be taken in a timely fashion.
      <br>
      <br>
      It is seriously being discussed and requested and in order to
      <br>
      get a view from the roof I would need two cameras and special
      <br>
      mounting brackets to get a proper view.
      <br>
      <br>
      Thanks for the tip the IR possible issue.  Night vision may not be
      an
      <br>
      issue since there are external lights.  I need to check on that.
