B-Tech Pole Mounts

B-Tech pole mounts hang cameras, screens and projectors from a ceiling, beam or floor on steel poles. The page gathers two pole systems: System V, with Ø38mm poles for CCTV and other ceiling-mounted equipment, and System 2, with Ø50mm poles. Alongside them are parts such as the ceiling plates, purlin and girder mounts, joiners, collars and dome camera plates that complete a drop, plus floor stand poles and a heavy duty BT7853 extension column.

Choosing B-Tech Pole Mounts

Pick the pole system first, because mounts, joiners and collars are made for one diameter, then choose the fixing at the top and the mount at the bottom.

System V: Ø38mm poles for cameras

System V poles such as the BT5935-100/W are steel, with cables fed through the centre and a safety bolt hole for a secure fixing. The BT5920 fixed ceiling mount hangs them, supports loads of up to 75kg and has grub screws to set the angle of the drop. At the camera end, the BT5910/W takes small to medium dome cameras and the BT5911/W carousel plate takes large domes. The BT5951/W adaptor attaches 1.5" NPT equipment, and the BT5952/W collar has dual fixing points for back-to-back installations.

System 2: Ø50mm poles for screens and heavier loads

BT7850 poles are 1.6mm thick steel, internally unobstructed for cables, with safety bolt holes at both ends, and they can be cut to length. The BT7822/B ceiling or floor plate is 6mm thick steel with a 150kg maximum load, and the BT7808/B tilts up to 90° for flat screens and projectors. For steelwork, the BT7012/B fits 'C' and 'Z' section purlins and the BT7017/B fits I-beams from 80mm to 250mm wide.

Joining, adapting and floor stands

The BT7823/Z joins two Ø50mm poles internally and is concealed after installation, while the BT5924/W joins two System V poles on the outside. The BT5950 adaptor lets Ø50mm System 2 mounts for angled ceilings, purlins and girders be used on a Ø38mm System V pole. Away from walls and ceilings, the BT8572/BB floor stand holds a screen of up to 55" on a 1.8 metre pole.

Frequently asked questions

What is a pole mount?

A pole mount holds a CCTV camera, screen or projector on a steel pole, so it can hang below a high ceiling or beam, or stand on the floor. A plate fixes the top of the pole, and a device mount at the other end carries the equipment. Cables can usually run inside the pole. The range here includes poles, ceiling plates, joiners and camera mounts.

What are camera poles used for?

Camera poles drop a CCTV camera below a high ceiling, roof truss or beam, so it sits at a useful height for a clear view. They suit warehouses, atriums, sports halls and shops with tall or open ceilings. A dome plate or carousel plate fixes the camera to the end of the pole. The range here includes plates for small and large dome cameras.

How do you fix a pole mount to a ceiling?

Fix a pole mount to a ceiling with a ceiling plate bolted into the structure, such as a concrete slab, joist or steelwork, rather than plasterboard alone. Purlin and girder mounts fit steel roof members instead of a flat plate. Check the load rating of the plate and its fixings against the equipment. The range here includes ceiling plates, a purlin mount and a girder mount.

How do I choose a pole mounting system?

Choose a pole mounting system by the weight and type of equipment it will carry. B-Tech System V uses slimmer poles for CCTV cameras and lighter loads, while its wider heavy-duty poles carry screens, projectors and heavier loads. Fittings are sized to one pole diameter, so keep a drop within the same system unless an adaptor is used.
