Axis 02925-001 Pendant Kit
The Axis 02925-001 is a pendant mounting kit engineered for fixed camera installations where ceiling or overhead pole deployment is required. This accessory addresses a specific deployment gap: when your surveillance camera needs to hang from a threaded structure rather than sit on a surface or bracket arm. The TP3106-E pendant kit (model 02925-001) simplifies that installation by providing a standardized mechanical interface.
Key Features
- 1.5" NPS Threaded Bracket Compatibility: Threads directly onto industry-standard 1.5" NPS (National Pipe Size) conduit or bracket systems — no adapters needed if your installation already uses this standard. This eliminates fumbling with incompatible hardware and reduces installation labor.
- Black Finish: Professional appearance blends into ceiling structures and doesn't draw attention to the mounting hardware. Matters in retail, corporate, and hospitality environments where visible infrastructure is a design liability.
- Indoor and Outdoor Rated: Engineered to withstand weather exposure — rain, dust, and temperature swings won't degrade the mechanical connection. Suitable for covered outdoor areas, loading docks, and transitional spaces (overpasses, canopies).
- Robust Construction: Designed to handle the weight and vibration of surveillance cameras without creep or loosening. Critical in high-traffic areas or locations subject to building movement.
- Secure Installation: Pendant design minimizes camera sway and movement, which matters for consistent video framing and reducing false motion alerts in analytics-driven deployments.
Integration & Compatibility
The 02925-001 works with any Axis IP camera or compatible third-party device that can mount to a standard pendant fitting. Verify your camera's mounting footprint against the pendant interface before purchase — most compact and mid-range domes are compatible, but large PTZ heads or specialty form factors may require an adapter.
If you're deploying across a facility with mixed ceiling infrastructure, confirm that your structural element accepts 1.5" NPS threads. Existing conduit runs or structural brackets that already use this standard will integrate immediately. For alternatives, consider checking whether your camera mounting accessory family offers dedicated adapter kits.
Deployment Considerations
Pendant kits are most practical for:
- Warehouse and manufacturing environments with exposed structural grids or overhead piping.
- Retail spaces where drop ceilings are absent and overhead mounting is the only option.
- Outdoor covered areas — bus shelters, loading dock canopies — where a pole or post is already in place.
- Facilities using modular or relocatable structures (temporary installations, event spaces) where standardized fastening accelerates setup.
If your ceiling is drywall or soft material, a pendant kit alone won't work — you'll need structural reinforcement or a different mounting approach. Similarly, if your facility uses metric pipe (M20, M25) or proprietary fastening systems, confirm adapter availability before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the Axis 02925-001 work with my 2MP fixed dome camera?
A: Yes, provided your camera has a standard pendant mounting interface. Check your camera's mounting specification or contact the distributor to confirm mechanical compatibility before order.
Q: Can I use the 02925-001 outdoors in rain?
A: Yes. The kit is engineered for indoor and outdoor use and handles direct rain and dust exposure. However, it does not support full submersion — for cameras that may be sprayed down or in washdown environments, verify the overall camera housing rating (IP67 or higher).
Q: What size pipe does the 1.5" NPS thread fit?
A: 1.5" NPS (National Pipe Size) threads onto standard 1.5" iron pipe, conduit, or structural brackets using NPS fastening. This is a common industrial standard, but confirm your facility's existing infrastructure uses NPS before ordering.
Q: Do I need tools to install the 02925-001?
A: Yes. You'll need standard wrenches or pipe fittings tools to thread and tighten the pendant onto your bracket. Hand-tightening alone is not sufficient for stable long-term mounting.
Q: Is the black finish UV-resistant?
A: The finish is rated for outdoor exposure, but manufacturer specifications on UV fade resistance are not detailed in current documentation. For extended outdoor use in direct sunlight, confirm fade expectations with the distributor.

The 02925-001 (sometimes searched as 02925 001) solves a real problem in overhead surveillance deployments: how to mount a camera to threaded structural infrastructure without improvisation. The pendant form factor is underrated in facilities where conduit or pipe runs already exist — you're not drilling new holes or wrestling with bolt patterns, you're threading onto what's already there.
Technical Highlights:
- 1.5" NPS Threading: This is the standard industrial pipe size, so if your facility already has 1.5" conduit or structural brackets in place, the 02925-001 mounts directly — no adapters, no custom fabrication. Saves hours of installation labor and reduces points of failure.
- Weather-Rated Construction: Indoor and outdoor rating means you can deploy in loading docks, canopies, and covered outdoor areas without worrying about corrosion or structural failure from exposure. The black finish hides weathering and maintains a professional appearance over time.
- Mechanical Stability: Pendant mounting keeps cameras hanging vertically with minimal sway — important in analytics deployments where false motion alerts from camera vibration waste review time and inflate alarm fatigue.
Deployment Considerations:
- This is a structural fastening accessory, not a universal mount. Before you order, confirm your facility's pipe size and thread type. If you're running M20 metric pipe or proprietary fasteners, the 02925-001 won't work without an adapter.
- Pendant kits require proper installation tools — wrenches, thread sealant (PTFE tape), and someone familiar with pipe fitting. This isn't a set-and-forget accessory; loose fittings will eventually work themselves loose and drop a camera.
- Weight-bearing is not detailed in available specs. For heavy PTZ heads or multi-sensor cameras, verify maximum payload capacity with the manufacturer before assignment.
The 02925-001 is the right choice for warehouse and manufacturing floors where overhead structures are already in place and aesthetics matter less than speed and reliability. It's not suitable for drywall ceilings, drop ceiling T-bar systems, or facilities with non-standard pipe infrastructure. Assess your structural baseline first — this accessory multiplies value only if your building already speaks 1.5" NPS.
