Overview

Each application might require a distinct mounting method that allows users to leverage the full capacities of their surveillance cameras. As no two applications are essentially the same, it’s important that Vicon continues to offer versatile mounting options designed to meet the needs of our integrators and operators for any environment. As a result, we are introducing several new mounting options that expand the use cases for many of our cameras.

New Mounting Options

• Pole Mount and Corner Mount Adapter for V2X00B
• Wedge Angled Base for V2000D Micro/V2360 Fisheye Cameras
• Recessed Kit for the 360 Multi-Sensor Camera
• In-Ceiling Mounting Kits for the V2100D
  
  

Wedge Angled Base for V2000D Micro/V2360 Fisheye Cameras

This new angled base is a mounting accessory designed for the V2000D
Micro Dome and V2360W-12 Panoramic cameras. It allows the camera to
be surface mounted on a wall or ceiling to provide additional angles that the
camera itself doesn’t permit, eliminating any gaps that may be present with
a traditional mount. For example, a fisheye mounted to a wall would have
a large portion of the ceiling in the field-of-view, but when using the angled
base, the view is optimized to cover the floor to ceiling views. This is useful
for applications that require uninterrupted surveillance should a critical
event take place and further investigation is needed, such as in a casino.
Additionally, the V2XXX-WDG-PLATE adapter plate allows the V2XXX-WDG
to be mounted to a 4x4 electrical plate.

Recessed Kit for the 360 Multi-Sensor Camera

With increasing indoor multi-sensor installations, this kit is exclusively designed for our 360 line of multi-sensors, to allow for recessed installation into a drop ceiling, lowering the profile of the camera while still providing full coverage. This is ideal for applications that want a less conspicuous camera or prefer a lower profile, increasing the field-of-view such as in intersections and hallways.

In-Ceiling Mounting Kits for the V2100D

These mounting kits provide adaptable mounting options for drop or hard ceiling indoor a applications. These in-ceiling kits ensure a stable foundation in each type of ceiling; offering two options is key, especially when many of these domes are used in office type settings that have either or combined settings.

Pole Mount and Corner Mount Adapter for V2X00B

These standard Vicon pole mount adapter and corner mount bracket have been updated with additional bolt patterns and are now compatible with the V2000B-BOX for the V2000B Roughneck Pro Bullet and the V21000B-BOX for the V2100B Roughneck Bullet. When used in corner applications, such as the corner of a building, it can be positioned to achieve the optimal field of view.
