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 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 BT8571 floor stand holds a small to medium flat screen on a 1.8 metre pole.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between B-Tech System V and System 2?

They use different pole diameters, so mounts and joiners are made for one or the other. System V uses Ø38mm poles such as the BT5935-200/W and is a collection of components for CCTV and other ceiling-mounted equipment, while System 2 uses Ø50mm BT7850 poles made from 1.6mm thick steel. The BT5950 adaptor lets a System 2 ceiling mount be fitted to a System V pole.

How do I hang a dome camera from a high ceiling?

Build a drop from a ceiling mount, a pole and a camera plate. On System V, the BT5920 fixed ceiling mount holds a Ø38mm pole such as the BT5935-300/W, and the BT5910/W or BT5911/W plate carries the dome at the bottom, each supporting cameras of up to 5kg. On System 2, the BT6010/Z carousel mount fits B-Tech’s 50mm poles and supports cameras weighing up to 25kg.

Can I join two poles for a longer drop?

Yes, with a pole joiner that matches the diameter. The BT7823/Z joins two Ø50mm poles internally and is concealed after installation, while the BT7824 bolts to the outside of Ø50mm poles and provides a cable access point at the join. For Ø38mm System V poles, the BT5924/W gives a rigid external join and lets cables pass through the poles and joiner.

Can a pole be hung from a steel beam or purlin?

Yes, System 2 has purlin and girder fixings. The BT7012/B purlin mount suspends pole-mounted solutions of up to 140kg from C and Z section purlins with a minimum height of 95mm, and adjusts up to 45 degrees. The BT7017/B girder mount suits I-beams from 80mm to 250mm in width with a 140kg maximum load, and the BT5950 adaptor lets System V poles use these System 2 mounts.

What if a standard Ø50mm pole is not strong enough?

Use the BT7853 extension column, a heavy duty alternative for large pole-mounted installations that standard 50mm poles cannot hold. The BT7853-200/B is made from 3.2mm thick steel, comes as standard in 2m or 3m lengths that can be cut to an exact length, and can be mounted to walls, floors or ceilings. Columns link together with BT7824 external pole joiners.

Is there a pole stand for a screen that does not fix to the wall?

Yes, the BT8571 is a display stand for small to medium flat screens with VESA fixings up to 200 x 200, mounted at any height on its 1.8 metre pole. It is built from 6mm thick steel, with non-marking rubber feet and grab handles on the base. For video calls, the BT7864/B shelf mounts a conferencing camera centrally between 2 poles on a stand or trolley.
