Hanwha SBP-060BA Gangbox Adapter Plate
Overview
The Hanwha SBP-060BA is a precision aluminum mounting adapter engineered to integrate Hanwha IP cameras directly into standard electrical gangbox installations. This approach eliminates the structural modifications typically required for retrofit deployments, reducing labor costs and installation time while maintaining professional-grade cable management. The SBP-060BA (often searched as SBP 060BA) is designed for environments where electrical infrastructure is already in place—particularly common in office buildings, retail spaces, and institutional facilities where security cameras must coexist with power and data cabling.
Key Features
- Aluminum construction with RAL9003 white finish: The aluminum body resists corrosion in typical indoor environments while the white powder-coat finish blends seamlessly with standard electrical box trim, avoiding the need for additional concealment or touch-up painting during installation.
- M25 conduit hole (19.1mm / 3/4 inch): Accepts standard electrical conduit, allowing you to route camera cables and power through existing infrastructure without breaking drywall or running new conduit runs—a significant time and cost saving on retrofit projects.
- Compact footprint: 54.1 × 38.9 × 37.7mm (2.13 × 1.53 × 1.49 inches): The shallow depth fits flush against electrical boxes and wall cavities, meaning the plate and mounted camera won't protrude excessively, which matters in tight spaces like retail aisles or office corridors where clearance is limited.
- Multi-camera compatibility: Works with QNV-C8083R, QNV-C9083R, XNO-C6083R, XNO-C7083R, XNO-C8083R, XNO-C9083R, and PNM-C16013RVQ models, giving you flexibility to standardize on this plate across different camera types within the Hanwha lineup without stocking multiple mounting solutions.
- No structural modification required: Eliminates the need for drilling additional holes, patching, or custom framing—particularly valuable in leased commercial spaces where landlord consent is required for permanent alterations or in post-construction retrofits where minimizing wall damage is a priority.
- Facilitates professional cable management: The gangbox mounting approach keeps cables organized within the electrical cavity rather than running exposed across the wall surface, which improves both aesthetics and security by reducing the risk of accidental cable damage or intentional tampering.
Integration & Compatibility
The SBP-060BA is designed for use with specific IP camera models from Hanwha's QNV and XNO series, as well as the PNM-C16013RVQ. Before purchasing, verify that your selected camera is on the compatibility list. The adapter is passive—it requires no power or configuration and integrates with any network video recorder or VMS platform that supports the camera model itself. Consult the camera's integration documentation for specifics on ONVIF, RTSP, or proprietary protocol support when selecting recording hardware.
Typical Deployment Scenarios
This plate is well-suited for commercial office buildings with existing electrical distribution, retail environments where cameras must be installed on finished walls, and institutional facilities (schools, hospitals, government buildings) where minimizing structural damage and maintaining clean aesthetics are contractual requirements. It is not appropriate for outdoor installations or areas requiring high-impact protection (use a more rugged mount in those cases).
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the SBP-060BA come with mounting hardware for the camera?
A: The SBP-060BA is the adapter plate only. Verify that your selected Hanwha camera includes its own mounting bracket or hardware; some models include integral mounting provisions, while others may require a separate camera-specific bracket.
Q: Can I use this plate with non-Hanwha cameras?
A: No. The SBP-060BA is engineered specifically for the listed Hanwha camera models. Using it with other brands risks improper weight distribution, electrical isolation, or mechanical failure.
Q: Is the M25 conduit hole the only cable entry point?
A: Yes. The plate is designed with a single M25 hole to maintain structural integrity and ensure professional installation. If you require multiple cable entries, consult the camera's installation guide or contact Hanwha technical support for alternative mounting solutions.
Q: What is the maximum cable bundle diameter the M25 hole will accept?
A: The M25 hole accommodates standard 3/4-inch electrical conduit and typical camera cable bundles. Verify your specific cable diameter (camera power, Ethernet, and any additional sensors) against standard conduit sizing charts before finalizing your installation.
Q: Is this suitable for outdoor or wet environments?
A: No. The SBP-060BA is rated for standard indoor electrical installations. For outdoor or damp locations, the camera and mounting solution must be IP-rated; this plate alone does not provide environmental protection.
Q: Does the white finish require maintenance or touch-up?
A: The RAL9003 powder coat is durable under normal indoor conditions. Standard cleaning with a dry or slightly damp cloth is sufficient. In high-traffic or dusty areas, periodic cleaning preserves appearance.

The SBP-060BA solves a specific installation problem: how to mount a modern IP camera into an existing electrical gangbox without cutting new holes or running new conduit. In retrofit environments—particularly offices and retail spaces where drywall is finished and landlord consent is hard to get—this passive aluminum plate is worth its weight. The M25 conduit hole is the key detail here; it lets you bundle camera Ethernet, power, and any auxiliary cabling through existing electrical infrastructure instead of routing them separately.
Technical Highlights:
- M25 (3/4-inch) conduit compatibility: Matches standard North American electrical conduit sizing, so your camera cables integrate directly with existing power and data runs without additional adapters or oversizing.
- Compact 54.1 × 38.9 × 37.7mm profile: Shallow depth means the plate and camera mount flush to the wall without protruding into door swings or walkway clearances—critical in retrofit projects where you can't relocate the camera 2 inches.
- Aluminum with RAL9003 white finish: Resists oxidation in typical indoor air and matches standard electrical trim, reducing the need for paint or concealment—a small but real labor saving across multi-camera deployments.
Deployment Considerations:
- The SBP-060BA is passive—it does not add any electrical load or intelligent functionality. The camera and gangbox electrical circuit remain independent, which simplifies troubleshooting but also means you must verify that the electrical box is not overloaded if it's supplying power to other devices.
- Weight distribution: Verify that your camera model's weight (typically 200–400g for Hanwha compact domes and bullets) is adequately supported by the gangbox framing. Standard gangboxes are designed for light fixtures and switches, not necessarily for dangling cameras. If the camera is heavy or exposed to vibration, consider reinforcing the gangbox backing or using a supplementary support strap.
- Cable slack: Route excess Ethernet and power cable inside the wall cavity, not in the gangbox itself. Overstuffed boxes create heat and risk damaging the cable jacket—both of which shorten equipment life and increase maintenance callbacks.
Deploy the SBP-060BA in commercial office retrofits, retail chain rollouts where you need fast, non-invasive camera mounting, and institutional settings (schools, municipal buildings) where avoiding permanent wall damage is a contract requirement. Skip it if you're planning new construction (build proper camera mounts into the framing from the start) or deploying outdoor cameras (the plate offers no weather protection).
