Axis 01189-001 Telescopic Ceiling Mount 2-Pack
The Axis 01189-001 is a dual-unit ceiling mount solution engineered for Axis IP camera pendant kits and compatible surveillance housings. Each mount telescopes from 1 meter to 1.8 meters (3.2–6 feet), enabling repeatable height adjustments in 10cm intervals. This two-pack format is purpose-built for multi-camera deployments where consistent mounting across several locations matters.
Key Features
- Telescopic extension 1–1.8m (3.2–6 ft): Matches typical drop ceilings and allows you to fine-tune pendant camera height without re-cutting conduit or remounting. The 10cm incremental stops eliminate guesswork and reduce field adjustment time.
- 3/4-inch conduit interface: Standard plumbing-grade connection point. Ensures broad compatibility across the Axis surveillance line and minimizes special adapters for most installations.
- Dual-orientation mounting: Supports both vertical and horizontal installation geometry, so you can position the camera straight down or at an angle without swapping hardware.
- Two units per order: Eliminates the friction of ordering mounts separately for typical retail floors, warehouse aisles, or office hallways. Cost-effective for any facility with 3+ pendant cameras.
- Durable construction: Withstands typical indoor ceiling environments and carries typical IP camera pendant weight loads (check your specific pendant kit datasheet for load rating). No rust or corrosion issues in climate-controlled spaces.
Integration & Compatibility
The 01189-001 mates with Axis pendant kits via the 3/4-inch conduit connection. If you're deploying Axis box cameras or turrets in pendant housings, verify that your housing ships with a compatible 3/4-inch female interface. Most modern Axis pendant kits (AXIS P3707-PVE, AXIS P3707-PVE Mk II, and equivalent lines) use this standard. Confirm your specific housing model before ordering.
Height adjustment is manual: loosen the set screw, slide the inner tube to your target 10cm interval mark, and tighten. No power, no calibration needed. The mechanism is straightforward enough for field technicians to reset during re-aim or maintenance without tools beyond a hex key.
When to Choose a Different Model
If your ceiling drop is less than 1 meter or greater than 1.8 meters, the 01189-001 won't adjust far enough. Axis manufactures fixed-length pendant mounts and conduit adapters for non-standard heights; consult the full Axis mounting accessory catalog for alternatives. Similarly, if you need articulated or gooseneck positioning (beyond vertical/horizontal plane adjustment), look to ball-joint or heavy-duty pendants designed for dynamic aiming.
Deployment Context
Typical use cases: retail chain rollouts with standardized ceiling heights, warehouse picking zones where multiple cameras need aligned sightlines, and office suites with uniform drop ceilings. The twin-pack makes economic sense on any job where four or more pendant mounts are required. Single-mount projects are better served by ordering individual units.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maximum load the 01189-001 supports?
A: Load rating depends on the pendant kit housing and ceiling anchor type. Refer to your Axis pendant kit datasheet for the maximum camera and housing weight, then confirm your ceiling fasteners are rated for that load. The mount itself is not the constraint; the anchor and housing are.
Q: Can I use the 01189-001 with non-Axis pendant kits?
A: Only if your housing has a 3/4-inch female conduit interface and is mechanically compatible. The Axis ecosystem is broad, but third-party housings may not fit. Verify thread size and connection style before ordering.
Q: What tools do I need to adjust height on the 01189-001?
A: A hex key (typically 4mm or 5mm, depending on set screw design) is sufficient. Check the datasheet or your pendant kit documentation for the exact size. No special tools required.
Q: Does the 01189-001 work indoors only?
A: Yes. The mount is rated for typical indoor environments (temperature-stable, low moisture). Do not deploy outdoors or in high-humidity spaces like carwashes or freezers without protective housing or re-evaluation of material durability.
Q: Are both mounts identical?
A: Yes. The 2-pack contains two identical units, so you can use them interchangeably across your deployment.

The Axis 01189-001 (01189 001 in search) is an accessory that often gets overlooked in large deployments — but it's the difference between a field tech spending 20 minutes per pendant and two hours re-cutting conduit or shimming housings. The 10cm adjustment intervals remove trial-and-error from pendant height alignment, which matters when you're standardizing sightlines across a chain or warehouse network.
Technical Highlights:
- 1–1.8m telescopic range (10cm increments): Fits standard North American drop ceilings without special fabrication. Each 10cm stop prevents the mount from drifting mid-installation — you seat it, it stays put.
- 3/4-inch conduit interface: Not proprietary. This is the plumbing standard, so cross-ecosystem compatibility is real (though always verify your specific housing's interface).
- Dual-orientation capability: Vertical or angled mounting without hardware swaps reduces spare-parts inventory and simplifies field deployment playbooks.
Deployment Considerations:
- Height is fixed once set — no motorized or pneumatic adjustment. If ceiling height varies by more than a few inches across your site, you'll need multiple 01189-001 units at different extension lengths, or a mix of fixed and telescopic mounts.
- Load rating is NOT published on the mount itself — it's determined entirely by your pendant kit housing and ceiling anchor. A 2kg camera in a 500g housing on a 20kg drywall anchor is fine; a 5kg thermal housing on a plaster ceiling anchor rated for 10kg total is risky. Always check both the pendant datasheet and your anchor specs before deployment.
Deploy the 01189-001 on multi-location retail, warehouse, or office surveillance jobs where height standardization and quick field adjustment save labor cost. Single-location projects or sites with irregular ceiling heights are better served by evaluating fixed-mount alternatives or evaluating whether a fixed-position pendant meets your coverage requirements.
