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
Do I need a junction box behind a CCTV camera?
You need one where the cable joint at the camera must be kept out of the weather or out of reach. The Hikvision DS-1280ZJ-S has side and bottom cable outlets with a waterproof cover and side gland nut for outdoor use, and the HDview DBW3 deep base has two 25mm cable entries. Pick the box made for your camera, because the fixing pattern must match.
How do I fix a camera to a pole?
Use a pole mount bracket that fits the pole diameter, with the camera on its own wall mount. The Hikvision DS-1275ZJ-S-SUS takes round poles of 67-127 mm, carries a 10 kg maximum load and is commonly used with Hikvision bullet and dome wall mounts. For a free-standing position, Altron columns such as the ACC4PM tilt down for ground-level maintenance.
Which CCTV power supply keeps cameras running in a power cut?
A boxed power supply with battery backup does. The Haydon HAY-PSU12V5ABBL gives 13.8V at up to 5A and charges a 7Ah or 17Ah standby battery, and the Haydon HAY-DC24V3ABBLPSU is a 24V DC 3A supply with battery backup, tamper and a mains-fail relay. Size the supply for the total current the cameras draw.
Will an IR illuminator improve night footage?
Yes, it adds infrared light beyond what a camera provides on its own. The GJD Clarius Plus IS-8 has a distance capability of up to 132m and a built-in photocell for automatic on/off, and the GJD IS-8-P is a PoE illuminator with a 101 m range. Aim the beam at the area the camera covers.
What is a CCTV test monitor for?
A test monitor lets an installer see and set up a camera at the mounting point. The ESP TMPROSHD supports up to 8MP TVI, 4MP CVI and 5MP AHD cameras and up to 8MP H.265 IP cameras, and it can power a camera from 12V DC at 3A or 48V PoE while you set the angle and focus.
What is RG59 shotgun cable?
RG59 shotgun cable runs a coax for video alongside two power cores, so an analogue camera takes video and power on one cable run. The SFX/59+2C-0.5-PVC-WHT-100 has 2 x 0.5 mm² bare copper power cores and a 75Ω RG59 on a 100m roll, and the Rhino Guard RG59 shotgun cable is another 100 m option.
