Hikvision Pendant Mount, Anti-Corrosion Aluminium Alloy, Black DS-1271ZJ-140-Y(Black)

Overview

A pendant mount hangs a camera down from the ceiling on a short pole. It is a common way to fit a camera under a high ceiling, a canopy or a soffit, where a wall position would not see the area well.

This Hikvision mount is finished in Hikvision Black, so it suits sites where a black Hikvision camera has been chosen to blend in with dark fittings.

Where to use it

Use it where the camera needs to sit lower than the ceiling, such as a high entrance hall or a warehouse aisle. The body is anti-corrosion aluminium alloy; check the camera's own rating for the location.

What the figures mean in practice

• Approx. 3 kg load: add up the weight of the camera and anything fitted between it and the mount, and keep the total under this figure.
• Approx. 1254 g: the mount itself adds this weight to the ceiling fixing, before the camera goes on.
• 565 mm drop: the camera ends up roughly this far below the ceiling, so check the view and the clearance for vehicles or doors.

Installing it

• Fixing: As a rule, fix into a structural ceiling or a solid timber, using fixings rated for the combined weight.
• Cable route: Plan where the camera cable will run and how it will be sealed before fixing the mount in place.
• Fit check: Confirm the camera's accessory list includes this mount, because pendant fittings differ between camera bodies.

Planning your system

Choose the camera first, then the mount its maker lists for it. The help guide on mounting your camera covers heights and positions.
