Axis 01150-001 Recessed Mount for M304x-V Series Dome Cameras
Overview
The Axis 01150-001 is a dedicated recessed ceiling mount designed to integrate AXIS M3044-V, M3045-V, M3046-V, M3047-V, and M3048-V dome cameras flush into drop-ceiling and hard-lid environments. Where a standard surface-mount dome sits visibly below the ceiling plane, the 01150-001 pulls the camera body above the tile line — the result is a cleaner architectural finish and a lower vandalism profile in corridors, lobbies, and open-plan offices. If your project spec calls for a low-profile ceiling integration on any of the M304x-V models, this is the correct part. For the full Axis surveillance line, the recessed form factor is a recurring requirement on commercial and hospitality projects where exposed hardware clashes with interior design standards.
The mount is manufactured from aluminum, which keeps weight down relative to steel alternatives while providing the structural rigidity needed to hold the camera securely in a recessed ceiling cutout. The white finish matches standard commercial ceiling tile and trim — no touch-up paint, no custom finishing required on typical office or retail ceiling environments. Pairing this with the right dome camera mounts and accessories category will surface compatible pendant adapters and junction box covers if your rough-in situation requires additional conduit or wire-management hardware.
Key Features
- Aluminum Construction: Aluminum keeps the assembly light enough that a single integrator can manage the fit and ceiling cutout without additional structural backing in most drop-ceiling grids — and it won't corrode in HVAC-proximate ceiling cavities the way uncoated ferrous hardware can over time.
- White Housing Finish: The white color matches standard commercial ceiling tile (Armstrong, USG equivalents) out of the box — no custom painting or finishing step, which matters when you're commissioning 30+ cameras across a floor and schedule is tight.
- Recessed Form Factor: Pulling the camera body above the ceiling plane reduces the exposed profile to just the dome lens window. In retail loss-prevention and school corridor applications, a lower protrusion discourages casual tampering versus a camera mounted fully below the ceiling.
- Model-Specific Fit: Engineered specifically for the M3044-V, M3045-V, M3046-V, M3047-V, and M3048-V — these are Axis's fixed mini-dome cameras covering 2MP through 8MP multi-sensor variants. A purpose-fit mount means correct alignment, no adapter plates, and no improvised shimming at rough-in.
- Compatibility with M304x-V Panoramic Variants: The M3047-V (180°) and M3048-V (180°/360°) are panoramic multi-sensor domes. Correct recessed mounting on these models is non-trivial — a generic mount risks blocking peripheral sensor fields. The 01150-001 is sized and positioned to avoid vignetting the wide-angle coverage these cameras are specified for.
- Clean Wiring Path: Recessed mounting routes cabling above the ceiling plane and out of sight. On retrofit projects where cable management is visible to building occupants during installation, this avoids the need for temporary shrouding or cover-up work.
Compatibility
The 01150-001 (often searched as 01150 001) is compatible exclusively with the following Axis network cameras:
- AXIS M3044-V
- AXIS M3045-V
- AXIS M3046-V
- AXIS M3047-V
- AXIS M3048-V
It is not a universal dome mount. If you're deploying other Axis dome models — such as the M3106, P3245, or Q3517 families — verify the correct mount SKU for each series before ordering. Axis maintains separate recessed and surface-mount accessories for each camera platform, and mounting hardware is not cross-compatible between series. When planning a camera mount selection for mixed-model deployments, confirm each SKU's accessory matrix individually.
Installation Notes
Recessed mounting requires a ceiling cutout sized to the mount's outer flange — confirm rough-in dimensions against your ceiling tile or hard-lid substrate before cutting. In drop-ceiling (T-bar grid) environments, verify the above-ceiling clearance is sufficient for the camera body plus any conduit bend radius. Standard rough-in for the M304x-V series on recessed mounts runs the network cable through the ceiling plenum and down through the mount body; PoE is supplied by the switch, so no local power wiring is required at the camera location. Ensure your PoE switch budget accounts for the camera's draw before finalizing the infrastructure — a PoE switch with adequate per-port wattage and total budget is the supporting component to confirm before ceiling work begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which Axis cameras is the 01150-001 compatible with?
A: The 01150-001 is designed specifically for the AXIS M3044-V, M3045-V, M3046-V, M3047-V, and M3048-V. It is not a universal mount and is not confirmed compatible with other Axis dome families.
Q: What material is the Axis 01150-001 made from?
A: The mount is constructed from aluminum with a white finish, making it suitable for standard commercial ceiling environments without additional finishing work.
Q: Can the 01150-001 be used with the panoramic M3047-V and M3048-V models?
A: Yes — the M3047-V (180°) and M3048-V (180°/360°) are both in the confirmed compatibility list. The mount is sized to avoid obstructing the wide-angle sensor coverage these models provide.
Q: Does the 01150-001 work with hard-lid ceilings as well as drop-ceiling grid systems?
A: Recessed mounts can be used in both drop-ceiling (T-bar grid) and hard-lid (drywall/concrete) applications, but hard-lid installs require a ceiling cutout and may need an additional backbox or rough-in bracket depending on the substrate. Verify your specific ceiling construction before ordering.
Q: Is the 01150-001 compatible with Axis surface-mount cameras or other dome series?
A: No. The 01150-001 is model-specific to the M3044-V through M3048-V series. Other Axis dome families use different recessed or surface-mount accessories; confirm the correct part number for any other model.
The 01150-001 is the recessed ceiling mount Axis engineered specifically for the M304x-V mini-dome family — and that model-specific fit is the detail that matters most on a project where the M3047-V or M3048-V panoramic variants are in scope. Those cameras sweep 180° or 360° from a single ceiling point; a generic recessed mount that isn't sized correctly for the camera body can intrude into the peripheral sensor fields and produce coverage gaps that won't show up until commissioning. The 01150-001 eliminates that risk.
Technical Highlights:
- Aluminum body: Lighter than steel, which is relevant in drop-ceiling grids where per-tile load limits apply — keeps the installation compliant with ceiling system weight ratings without needing supplemental backing structure in most standard commercial grids.
- White factory finish: Matches commercial ceiling tile without rework — on a 40- or 50-camera lobby-and-corridor deployment, eliminating a touch-up step across every install point is a real labor saving.
- M304x-V specific geometry: Designed around the M3044-V through M3048-V camera platform, so the dome lens window aligns flush at the ceiling plane without shimming, and cable routing through the mount body is clean.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm above-ceiling clearance before ordering — the camera body sits above the tile line, and tight plenum spaces (under 4 inches) can make insertion and cable termination difficult on initial install and on any future camera swap.
- The 01150-001 is not cross-compatible with other Axis dome families. If your project mixes M3046-V and, say, P3245-V units, you'll need to specify separate recessed mount SKUs for each model — ordering the wrong mount and discovering it on-site is a common scheduling problem on mixed-model deployments.
This mount is the right call for corporate office, hospitality, and retail environments where the M3044-V through M3048-V is already specified and a flush-ceiling aesthetic is in the project spec — particularly on panoramic-model installations where correct sensor alignment is not optional.
