ACTi SMAX-0065 Gooseneck with Mount Kit
Overview
The ACTi SMAX-0065 is a gooseneck mount assembly designed to solve the installation problem of fixed-angle camera positioning in confined spaces, tight corridors, or locations where standard ceiling or wall mounts cannot achieve the required sight line. The flexible gooseneck design lets you adjust mounting angle after installation—critical in retail environments, building lobbies, and server rooms where you need to reposition a camera without removing it. This kit includes the gooseneck arm, mounting bracket, and fasteners needed for direct integration into ACTi surveillance systems.
Compatibility
The SMAX-0065 integrates with ACTi IP camera product lines. Verify the specific camera model against the gooseneck weight capacity and mount interface before installation. ACTi provides mounting adapters for different camera feet; confirm your camera model's mounting footprint matches the supplied bracket. Use with ACTi dome, box, or turret cameras that support gooseneck-style positioning.
Installation Notes
Gooseneck mounts require care during installation to avoid stress fractures at the base. Ensure the mounting surface (wall or ceiling) is solid structural material—drywall alone will not support camera and gooseneck weight without backing reinforcement. Tighten the gooseneck locking nut firmly but do not over-torque, which risks cracking the brass insert. For outdoor or high-vibration environments, check the gooseneck position monthly; vibration can gradually loosen the joint. If the camera will remain repositioned at an extreme angle (near horizontal or near vertical), use a secondary safety cable to prevent the weight from stressing the gooseneck joint over time.
