CCTV Installation & Accessories

CCTV installation accessories are the parts that fix, connect, power and protect a camera once it leaves the box. This page brings them together: wall, pole, corner and pendant brackets, junction boxes and deep bases, poles and columns, boxed power supplies, coax and shotgun cable, baluns and connectors, CCTV and test monitors, infrared illuminators, rain shades and outdoor cabinets, from camera makers and specialist mounting brands alike.

Choosing CCTV Installation & Accessories

Plan the fixing, then the cable joint and power, then the screen and extras.

Brackets and mounts

Brackets come as wall, pole, corner and pendant types. The Hikvision DS-1275ZJ-S-SUS is a stainless steel pole mount for round poles of 67-127 mm with a 10 kg maximum load, the DS-1276ZJ-SUS-Black corner bracket works with a wall mount, and the DS-1471ZJ-155 is an aluminium pendant for dome cameras with a cable gland for through-wiring.

Junction boxes and deep bases

A junction box or deep base hides the cable joint. The Hikvision DS-1280ZJ-S has side and bottom cable outlets with a waterproof cover and gland nut for outdoor use, and the HDview DBW3 deep base has two 25mm cable entries for HDview IP and Rekor IP dome and turret cameras.

Poles and columns

A pole or column lifts a camera where no wall is in place. The Altron ACP4/150 is a 6.0m hot-dip galvanised wall-mount pole with a 150mm stand-off, and the Altron ACC4PM is a 9m tilt-down column with demountable winches so the camera can be serviced from the ground.

Power and cabling

The Haydon HAY-PSU12V5ABBL is a 13.8V boxed supply of up to 5A with battery charging, sized for 7Ah or 17Ah batteries, and the ESP CPS9-CL is a 12Vdc 9x1 Amp boxed CCTV supply. RG59 shotgun cable such as the SFX/59+2C-0.5-PVC-WHT-100 runs video and two power cores together, and the Haydon HAY-HDPVB02 balun sends HD video and power over network cable.

Screens, light and weather

The Hikvision DS-D5043U3-1V0S is a 43-inch 4K monitor; the ESP TMPROSHD test monitor helps set up cameras during installation. The GJD Clarius Plus IS-8 infrared illuminator reaches up to 132m, and the Hikvision DS-1250ZJ rain shade diverts rain from a dome camera.

Frequently asked questions

What accessories do you need to install CCTV?

A CCTV installation usually needs a mount for the camera, a junction box to hide the cable joint, suitable cable and connectors, and a power source. Outdoor sites may also need poles, weatherproof cabinets or rain shades, and a test monitor helps aim cameras during setup. The range here includes brackets, junction boxes, cables, power supplies and test monitors.

What network accessories does an IP CCTV system need?

An IP CCTV system usually needs network cable with RJ45 connectors and a PoE switch or injector that powers the cameras over the data cable. A PoE extender can help where a run is too long for one cable, and weatherproof connectors protect outdoor joints. The range here includes PoE midspan injectors and camera mounts with built-in RJ45 connectors.

What mounting accessories are used for CCTV cameras?

CCTV cameras are fixed with wall, pole, corner, ceiling or pendant mounts chosen to suit the camera model and the surface. Adapter plates, junction boxes and back boxes can sit between camera and mount to hide cables, while stainless steel straps secure mounts to poles. The range here includes wall, pole, corner, recessed and pendant mounts.

What tools do you need to install CCTV?

Installing CCTV usually calls for a drill and suitable fixings, cable strippers, crimp or termination tools for the connectors, and a cable tester. A CCTV test monitor is useful for aiming and focusing cameras at height before the final fixing. Poles and columns may need their own keys or bolt templates. The range here includes test monitors and column installation tools.
