Hanwha SBP-900CMP 900mm Ceiling Mount Pipe
Overview
The Hanwha SBP-900CMP is a 900mm aluminum extension pipe designed to solve a common integration challenge: achieving optimal camera positioning in facilities with high or suspended ceilings. This accessory extends vertical mounting reach without requiring structural modifications or custom fabrication. The SBP-900CMP integrates into the broader Hanwha surveillance equipment ecosystem, allowing integrators to build modular mounting solutions that adapt to warehouse, manufacturing, and commercial environments where standard drop distances won't work.
Key Features
- 900mm extended length: Delivers significant vertical reach—roughly 35.4 inches—enabling cameras to clear drop ceilings, ductwork, and structural obstacles while maintaining sightline clarity. This is essential in high-bay warehouses where you need to position cameras above suspended ceiling systems without repositioning the structural anchor.
- Lightweight aluminum construction: Weighs only 1.7 kg (3.75 lbs), so it won't add dead weight to ceiling mounts or require over-engineered fastening. The RAL9003 white finish matches standard ceiling materials, reducing visual footprint in commercial spaces and blending into typical office or warehouse environments.
- ø54mm rigid diameter: The 54mm pipe diameter balances structural stiffness with manageable weight. Larger diameter means less flex under camera payload, reducing vibration and ensuring stable operation for PTZ or motorized zoom cameras that are sensitive to mount oscillation.
- M6 mount screw interface: Standard M6 fastening ensures compatibility across the Hanwha modular mount family. No proprietary connectors or adapters needed—integration is straightforward for anyone familiar with industrial mounting standards and compatible with existing Hanwha camera fixtures.
- Stackable design: The SBP-900CMP can be combined with shorter extensions such as the SBP-C15P, SBP-150CMP, or SBP-300CMP to achieve compound heights. This modularity means you buy exactly what you need for each installation rather than overspending on oversized single pipes or settling for undersized reach.
- Requires SBP-180CMB base: The base mount (sold separately) provides the structural anchor point. This separation allows cost optimization—you purchase one base and multiple pipes if deploying across several mounting locations, avoiding duplicate base hardware costs.
Integration & Compatibility
The SBP-900CMP integrates with any ceiling mount bracket or camera head that uses the Hanwha M6 interface standard. It is not a standalone product; it must be paired with a compatible base mount (SBP-180CMB) and a camera fixture. Verify your camera model supports the Hanwha mounting standard before ordering. For complex multi-camera layouts, consider a network video recorder capable of handling the total camera count and recording bitrate, as extended mounting pipes do not affect recording architecture or storage requirements.
Deployment Scenarios
The SBP-900CMP is most effective in facilities with ceiling heights of 14–20 feet and drop ceilings at 9–11 feet. Typical applications include warehouse aisles (positioning cameras above inventory racks to avoid blind spots and merchandise obstruction), manufacturing floors (clearing machinery and overhead conveyors that would otherwise block sightlines), and airport terminals (extending reach to clear architectural soffits and structural beams). In office environments with standard 8–9 foot ceilings and minimal drop-ceiling offset, this extension is overkill—a shorter extension or wall mount may be more appropriate. If your facility has minimal ceiling clearance or tight vertical constraints, a shorter extension such as the SBP-150CMP or SBP-300CMP may deliver better cost efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I stack multiple SBP-900CMP pipes for heights exceeding 900mm?
A: Yes. The stackable design supports multiple extensions in series. Combine with SBP-C15P, SBP-150CMP, or SBP-300CMP shorter pipes to reach your exact height. However, as height increases, monitor for any deflection under load—the longer the pipe, the greater the leverage on the base anchor. Verify your SBP-180CMB base is rated for the total payload (camera weight plus pipe weight).
Q: Do I need a separate base mount for each pipe, or can one base serve multiple installations?
A: One SBP-180CMB base is required per mounting point. You cannot reuse a single base across multiple ceiling locations. However, if you are deploying cameras in a single location at different heights, you may be able to use one base with different pipe configurations (e.g., SBP-900CMP in one location, SBP-300CMP in another on the same base).
Q: What is the weight capacity of the SBP-900CMP, and does it affect camera selection?
A: The pipe itself weighs only 1.7 kg. Weight capacity depends on your SBP-180CMB base and ceiling anchor point. Verify the base specification for maximum payload (camera + mount hardware). Most IP cameras weigh 300–800 grams, so capacity is rarely a concern unless you are mounting heavy PTZ or multi-sensor fixtures. Consult the base datasheet for exact limits.
Q: Can I paint or modify the RAL9003 white finish to match my ceiling color?
A: The aluminum pipe is finished with a durable RAL9003 white coating. Painting over it is possible but may void any warranty or compromise corrosion resistance. Test on a spare section before committing to a full installation. For color-critical environments, consider mounting in concealed areas where the white finish is less visible.
Q: Is the SBP-900CMP suitable for outdoor or high-humidity environments?
A: The aluminum construction with RAL9003 finish resists corrosion in typical indoor and mild outdoor environments. For marine, coastal, or high-humidity industrial settings, confirm that aluminum is appropriate—stainless steel variants may be needed. Consult Hanwha technical support for wet or corrosive environments.

The SBP-900CMP is a straightforward engineering solution for a real ceiling-height problem in warehouse and manufacturing deployments. At 900mm (35.4 inches) of extension, this pipe is purpose-built for high-bay environments where standard drop distances from a ceiling anchor to camera cannot reach below suspended systems. The aluminum construction and M6 fastening standard keep integration predictable and modular—you're not locked into proprietary connectors or custom fabrication.
Technical Highlights:
- ø54mm diameter: Provides rigidity without unnecessary weight. The larger diameter resists flex under camera payload and vibration, which is critical for PTZ or motorized zoom heads where mount oscillation degrades image stabilization and tracking performance.
- 1.7 kg weight: Minimal dead load on the base anchor. Standard IP cameras range 300–800g, so the pipe represents a small fraction of total load and reduces strain on ceiling fasteners and the SBP-180CMB base.
- M6 interface with stackable design: Pairs cleanly with SBP-C15P, SBP-150CMP, and SBP-300CMP variants. This modularity is a cost advantage—deploy one 900mm pipe where you need maximum reach, one 300mm pipe where clearance is tighter, and avoid buying oversized hardware across the entire installation.
Deployment Considerations:
- The SBP-180CMB base is mandatory and sold separately. Each ceiling anchor requires its own base—you cannot daisy-chain bases or repurpose a single base across multiple mounting points.
- Stacking multiple pipes increases leverage on the base anchor. As you exceed 1.2–1.5 meters of total extension, monitor the deflection under load and verify your ceiling fastening (lag bolts, anchors) is rated for the combined payload and moment arm.
- The RAL9003 white finish is durable for indoor environments but can show dust and scuffs in high-traffic areas. In outdoor or corrosive settings (salt spray, humid chemical plants), confirm aluminum is appropriate—stainless steel variants should be specified if available.
Deploy the SBP-900CMP when your warehouse or high-bay manufacturing facility has ceiling heights of 14–20 feet with suspended systems at 9–11 feet. This is the classic use case—it solves the sightline problem without structural modification and integrates directly into any Hanwha M6 camera mount already on your shelf.
