It's been a while since I mounted my PTZ cameras (just over 5 years) and I noticed a lot of rust on the bottom of the pole mount bracket. Is the PFA150 Pole Mount Bracket made from regular steel or is it aluminum like the camera housings?

Specs here say it's made of "SECC" which stands for "Steel Electrolytic Cold Commercial". IOW, it's steel, electro-galvanized with a thin zinc coating.

EDIT 7/7 @ 0558 CDT: You could wire-brush it, wipe off residue and spray with zinc-rich paint.

I figured it was steel but just wanted to confirm. Can't believe it got as rusty as it did in a short 5 years

Yes, it's a pretty thin coat.
Check my edit above.
