Hikvision Pendant Mount, Anti-Corrosion Aluminium Alloy, White DS-1271ZJ-140-Y

Overview

This Hikvision pendant mount hangs a camera below the ceiling on a metal pole. It is one of the camera mounts and brackets made for ceilings, and its 565 mm drop lets a camera clear beams, ducting or a high soffit.

The white finish suits white cameras and ceilings. A black version is sold separately for dark cameras and ceilings.

Where to use it

In most installations a pendant is used under high ceilings and canopies, where a camera fixed to the ceiling surface would sit too high or be blocked.

The anti-corrosion aluminium alloy body is made to resist corrosion over time.

What the figures mean in practice

• Approx. 3 kg: the heaviest camera it should carry; check the camera's weight before fitting.
• Approx. 1254 g: the weight of the mount itself, which the ceiling fixing must hold along with the camera.
• Ø 150 mm × 565 mm: the overall size; check the headroom below the ceiling for the drop plus the camera.

Installing it

As a rule, fix the ceiling plate into structure rather than plasterboard alone, and route the camera cable as the camera's installation guide shows. Confirm the camera lists this mount among its accessories before ordering; the wider range of pendant caps and mounts covers other combinations.

For cable, power and box choices around the camera, see the guide to mounting a CCTV camera.
