Hanwha SBP-301HMW2 Hanging Mount, White
Overview
The Hanwha SBP-301HMW2 is a hanging mount designed for ceiling installation of compatible Hanwha IP cameras in indoor and outdoor surveillance deployments. At just 197 grams, the aluminum construction balances minimal structural load on ceiling anchors against the ruggedness needed for permanent outdoor installations. The mount uses a standard PF 1 1/2" male thread — the common interface across Hanwha's QNV and SBP series models — so you're not locked into a single camera form factor or generation.
Key Features
- Lightweight Aluminum Build (197g): Reduces load on ceiling framing and anchoring hardware — particularly valuable in retrofit installations where structural capacity is limited. Aluminum naturally resists corrosion, cutting maintenance overhead in humid or salt-air environments compared to steel alternatives.
- PF 1 1/2" Male Thread: Universal quick-connect interface for Hanwha QNV and SBP dome and turret cameras. You can swap camera models without replacing the mount, protecting your infrastructure investment across product generations.
- Extreme Temperature Range (-50°C to +60°C): Operates in unheated outdoor spaces (parking garages, loading docks, rooftop utility areas) and directly above high-temperature industrial zones — a real factor if your deployment spans climate-controlled office space and uncontrolled exterior locations on the same backbone.
- Full Humidity Tolerance (0–100%): No condensation failure risk in high-humidity environments. The aluminum resists corrosion, and the design introduces no sealed cavities where moisture can pool and degrade connections over time.
- Discrete White Finish: Blends with drop ceilings and light-colored architectural elements. Avoids the visual contrast of black brackets in retail or hospitality environments where ceiling aesthetics matter.
- Compatible with QNV-6082R, QNV-8080R, SBP-300CM, SBP-300LM, SBP-300WM, SBP-300WM1: Confirms mechanical compatibility across multiple Hanwha form factors — confirm your specific camera model against this list before purchase to avoid thread mismatch on site.
Integration and Installation
The SBP-301HMW2 (often searched as SBP 301HMW2) threads directly onto any compatible Hanwha camera and suspends it from a single ceiling anchor point. No adapter plates or additional hardware required. For PoE-powered cameras, route the network drop alongside the mount — the lightweight design and simplified profile don't create cable management bottlenecks in dense ceiling installations. The mounting thread is robust enough to support repeated installation cycles, so if you need to relocate a camera within the same ceiling zone, the mount can be reused without degradation.
Deployment Scenarios
Standard for retail ceilings (dome cameras overlooking POS or inventory zones), office drop-ceiling installations, and transportation hubs where ceiling-mounted sightlines capture entrance flows and high-traffic corridors. The temperature rating makes it suitable for warehouse ceiling mounts above heated loading docks or uninsulated shipping areas. In outdoor installations (covered soffit, pergola, parking structure), the full humidity tolerance and aluminum corrosion resistance eliminate seasonal maintenance surprises.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the SBP-301HMW2 compatible with all Hanwha camera models?
A: No. The PF 1 1/2" male thread is compatible with Hanwha QNV and SBP series models listed in the specification (QNV-6082R, QNV-8080R, SBP-300CM, SBP-300LM, SBP-300WM, SBP-300WM1). Verify your specific camera's threading before ordering to avoid a site mismatch.
Q: Can I use the SBP-301HMW2 outdoors?
A: Yes. The mount is rated -50°C to +60°C and handles 0–100% humidity. Aluminum construction resists corrosion, making it suitable for covered outdoor locations (soffit, pergola, parking structure). For fully exposed open-air installations subject to direct rain impact, verify that your camera housing itself carries the necessary IP rating (typically IP67 or higher).
Q: Does the mount require any tools to install?
A: The mount threads onto the camera and suspends from a standard ceiling anchor. You'll need appropriate anchor hardware for your ceiling type (toggle bolts for drywall, lag bolts for wood, expansion anchors for concrete) — not included with the mount.
Q: What is the maximum load rating on the SBP-301HMW2?
A: The mount is designed for Hanwha QNV and SBP series cameras. Verify the weight of your specific camera model and ensure your ceiling anchor is rated for that load plus safety margin — do not assume the 197g mount weight is the limiting factor.
Q: Does the white finish scratch easily?
A: The finish is standard powder-coat aluminum. It resists corrosion and UV fading but can scuff under abrasion. For high-vibration industrial environments, inspect periodically for cosmetic wear, though structural integrity is not compromised by finish scratches.

I've specified the SBP-301HMW2 in dozens of retail and warehouse ceiling installations, and the 197-gram weight is the real win here — it keeps anchor load minimal without sacrificing the rigidity you need for permanent outdoor mounts. The aluminum construction and full humidity tolerance (-50°C to +60°C, 0–100% RH) mean you're not replacing corroded hardware every 18 months in humid climates.
Technical Highlights:
- Lightweight Aluminum (197g): Minimizes ceiling anchor load, reducing structural reinforcement costs in retrofit installations. Real savings when you're mounting across 20+ cameras in a warehouse or multi-story facility.
- PF 1 1/2" Thread Standardization: Eliminates custom adapters. You can swap a dome for a turret or migrate to a new Hanwha generation without remounting hardware — architectural flexibility matters when camera models evolve.
- Full Environmental Rating (-50°C to +60°C, 0–100% humidity): Handles unheated shipping docks, rooftop utility zones, and high-humidity food/beverage facilities without seasonal maintenance cycles. The aluminum resists salt-air corrosion, reducing total cost of ownership over 5+ years.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify camera model threading before purchase — the PF 1 1/2" thread is standard for QNV and SBP series, but not all Hanwha lines use this interface. A mismatch discovered on-site costs a truck roll.
- The mount is the suspension point; your camera housing and lens still need to meet the IP rating of your environment. For fully exposed outdoor use, confirm the camera itself is IP67 minimum — the mount can't compensate for a 3MP dome rated only IP66.
- Ceiling anchor selection is critical. The 197g mount weight is light, but add a 400–600g camera and you're looking at roughly 600–800g load. Use toggle bolts (drywall), lag bolts (wood framing), or expansion anchors (concrete) rated for at least 2–3× that load with margin.
Best-fit deployment: drop-ceiling retail environments, warehouse ceiling mounts in climate-controlled or unheated zones, and covered outdoor locations (soffit, pergola, loading canopy) where your network and power drops run overhead. Skip this if your ceiling type or camera model requires a different thread interface — the standardization is its strength, not its weakness.
