Axis 01473-001 Pole Mount 65-165mm
The Axis 01473-001 is a fixed-position pole bracket engineered to mount Axis fixed dome pendant camera kits on structural poles ranging from 65mm to 165mm in diameter. Built from powder-coated aluminum with a white finish, this mount handles outdoor weather exposure without corrosion — a practical detail when you're mounting on utility poles or light posts that won't be replaced for years.
Key Features
- Powder-coated aluminum construction: Resists rust and UV degradation in full-sun outdoor deployments, eliminating the need for periodic refinishing on exposed pole installations.
- Wide pole diameter range (65–165mm / 2.5–6.5 inches): Accommodates standard utility poles, structural columns, and fence posts without requiring adapter brackets, reducing your BoM complexity and installation time.
- 1.5" NPS thread interface: Directly compatible with Axis fixed dome pendant kits — no adapter threads needed, ensuring secure mechanical coupling and straightforward installation.
- Insect-proof cable gasket: Seals the cable entry point against dust and insects, which is critical in outdoor perimeter or warehouse dock installations where pest ingress can compromise connector integrity and cause intermittent signal loss.
- Stainless steel mounting straps with TX30 security screw: Fastening hardware resists corrosion in coastal or high-humidity environments, and the Torx screw discourages casual tampering — a standard choice for perimeter surveillance where vandalism is a concern.
- White finish: Blends into light-colored infrastructure and reduces visual prominence on campus or retail perimeter installations, though darker finishes may be preferable in high-contrast settings.
Integration & Compatibility
The 01473-001 (often searched as 01473 001) is purpose-built for Axis fixed dome pendant kits. Before ordering, verify your camera model carries the 1.5" NPS mount interface — most Axis dome pendants do, but some legacy or compact models may use different threading. If you're deploying outdoor IP cameras from other manufacturers, cross-reference the mount interface against your camera's technical documentation to confirm thread compatibility.
What's in the Box
- Pole mount bracket
- Insect-proof cable gasket
- 1 pair of stainless steel straps with TX30 security screw
Deployment Context
This mount suits industrial perimeter surveillance, warehouse loading docks, parking lot overhead poles, utility pole camera arrays, and campus or facility entry-point installations. The wide diameter range means a single stock-keeping unit can cover most standard pole sizes without custom fabrication. If your poles fall outside 65–165mm, or if you need a different thread interface, you'll need an alternative mount — check the Axis catalog for specialty pole brackets or consider a wall or ceiling mount variant depending on your infrastructure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the 01473-001 work with non-Axis dome cameras?
A: Only if the camera has a 1.5" NPS female thread. Check your camera's mounting specification before purchase.
Q: What pole materials does the 01473-001 handle?
A: Wood, steel, aluminum, and composite poles within the 65–165mm diameter range. The stainless steel straps grip most surfaces without damage. For extremely rough or textured poles, use a rubber shim under the strap to prevent marring.
Q: Is the gasket removable if I need to service the connector?
A: Yes. The gasket is a standard component that can be unclipped to access the cable junction during troubleshooting, though you should restore it before returning the camera to service.
Q: Can I use the 01473-001 indoors?
A: Technically yes — the aluminum won't corrode indoors — but the powder-coated white finish is optimized for outdoor appearance. For indoor structural columns, a smaller or less visible bracket may be preferable.
Q: Will the TX30 screw prevent removal by a non-technical person?
A: It adds friction against casual removal and requires a Torx tool, but it is not a security feature. For true anti-tamper protection, plan additional cage or shroud hardware.
Q: What is the load rating on the 01473-001?
A: The mount is engineered for Axis fixed dome pendant kits, which typically weigh 1–3 pounds. Do not exceed the rated load of your specific camera model, and always verify the pole's structural capacity independently.

The Axis 01473-001 is a straightforward pole bracket, but its value hinges on matching your pole geometry and camera thread. I've seen deployments stall because someone bought the wrong diameter range or misread the camera's NPS specification. Get those two details right before ordering, and you're golden — the powder-coated aluminum and insect-proof gasket do their job without fuss.
Technical Highlights:
- Pole diameter accommodation (65–165mm): Single SKU covers nearly every standard utility and structural pole size, eliminating the need for multiple bracket variants across a 20- or 50-camera deployment.
- Stainless steel straps with TX30 fastener: Corrosion resistance in coastal salt-air or high-humidity warehouse environments; Torx interface discourages casual tampering without requiring elaborate anti-tamper housings.
- Insect-proof cable gasket: Seals the cable entry against dust and pest ingress — critical in dock, perimeter, or rural installations where silica dust or insects are common; prevents intermittent connection loss over months of operation.
Deployment Considerations:
- Thread compatibility is non-negotiable: verify your camera is 1.5" NPS before purchasing. A mismatch means returning the bracket or sourcing an adapter.
- The white finish suits light-colored poles or neutral backgrounds but stands out sharply against dark infrastructure; consider paint or wrapping if visual discretion is a priority.
- Load limits are tied to the pendant kit weight, not the bracket itself. Never assume the bracket will support third-party payloads without engineering review.
Deploy the 01473-001 for utility pole arrays, warehouse perimeter columns, and campus light-post camera installations where structural pole geometry is standard and camera weight is modest. It's the no-nonsense choice for high-volume outdoor installations that demand corrosion resistance and minimal maintenance.
