Middle Atlantic Camera Mount Top/bottom 12 AND 8 Inch Plates - C5CM-128

Middle Atlantic C5CM-128 Top/Bottom Camera Mount with 12 and 8 Inch Plates

Overview

The Middle Atlantic C5CM-128 is a top/bottom camera mounting bracket designed for installations where cameras must be secured from both above and below — a common requirement in suspended-ceiling grid deployments, equipment enclosures, and structured rack-adjacent camera positions. The C5CM-128 ships with both a 12-inch and an 8-inch plate, giving the installer two reach options without ordering a separate accessory. This hardware is part of Middle Atlantic's mounting and enclosure line, built to the same dimensional standards as their rack and enclosure product families.

Compatibility

The C5CM-128 is designed for use within Middle Atlantic's C5 camera mounting system. The dual-plate configuration — 12-inch for extended standoff, 8-inch for tighter clearances — suits a range of surveillance camera mounts and housing scenarios where fixed-position top/bottom clamping is required. Verify mounting hole patterns against your specific camera housing before ordering; Middle Atlantic's C5 family targets their own enclosures and standard VESA/EIA-compliant camera base footprints. Pair with an appropriate IP camera or analog housing that matches the plate's hole spacing.

Installation Notes

The top/bottom mount configuration requires access to both the ceiling structure (or mounting surface above) and a stable lower anchor point. Confirm ceiling load rating accommodates the combined weight of the mount, camera, and any supplemental housing. The 12-inch plate is the longer reach option — useful when camera positioning must clear a fascia or enclosure edge. Use the 8-inch plate where headroom is constrained. Consult Middle Atlantic's camera mounting hardware documentation for torque specifications and compatible fastener sizes specific to your installation surface. Standard install tools (level, drill, appropriate anchors for surface type) apply.
