Hanwha SBP-156LMW White Telescoping Parapet Mount
The Hanwha SBP-156LMW is a specialized mounting solution engineered for rooftop and parapet edge installation of PTZ cameras from the Hanwha Wisenet PTZ Plus line. Aluminum construction with a white powder-coated finish (RAL9003) delivers weather resistance without the bulk or corrosion issues of steel alternatives. This accessory solves a specific installation problem: parapet walls vary in thickness and height, and rigid mounts force compromises. The telescoping design handles that variability.
Key Features
- Telescoping height adjustment (853–1116mm / 33.6–43.9 inches): You set the exact elevation needed for your parapet thickness and sightline. No field cutting, no adapter plates — just extend to spec and lock.
- Aluminum alloy with white powder-coat finish: Aluminum resists salt spray and UV degradation better than bare steel and weighs less, making solo installation practical. The white finish matches modern rooftop aesthetics and reduces thermal loading on the PTZ head in direct sun.
- Lightweight at 7.1 kg (15.7 lbs): One technician can handle this alone — matters on a rooftop where you're also managing the camera head, cables, and cable trays. Heavier steel mounts require a second person or rigging.
- 1000mm width platform: Wide footprint distributes load across the parapet and prevents tipping torque as the PTZ pans and tilts. Narrow mounts shift weight unevenly and stress parapet structure.
- 95mm depth: Shallow profile keeps the PTZ camera positioned close to the parapet face, reducing wind loading on the boom and minimizing gimbal vibration during pan/tilt moves.
- Designed for Wisenet PTZ Plus models (XNP-9300RW, XNP-8300RW, XNP-6400RW): Compatibility is fixed — confirm your PTZ model before purchase. This mount will not accept other brands' PTZ heads without custom adapter plates.
Integration & Compatibility
Mount exclusively with the three named Hanwha Wisenet PTZ Plus models. If you're deploying a multi-brand surveillance architecture, verify that your primary PTZ is one of these three before committing to the SBP-156LMW. The mounting interface is proprietary; third-party PTZ cameras require a different accessory or a custom bracket (added cost and installation time).
Installation is straightforward: bolt the base plate to your parapet using anchor bolts appropriate to your roof structure (concrete expansion anchors for concrete parapets, through-bolts for steel frame edges). Extend the telescoping tube to your target height, tighten the internal locking mechanism, then mount the PTZ head. Cable management (network and power) runs along the tube or through a separate conduit.
Deployment Context
Ideal for commercial rooftops, industrial campuses, and warehouse perimeters where panoramic coverage from elevation is required. Parapet mounts work best for large-area surveillance (parking lots, loading docks, building facades) where the elevated vantage point eliminates foreground obstructions. Avoid this mount if your PTZ needs to point straight down at close range — parapet height creates steep angles that may miss the target zone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the SBP-156LMW be used with other camera brands?
A: No. The mounting interface is proprietary to Hanwha Wisenet PTZ Plus cameras (XNP-9300RW, XNP-8300RW, XNP-6400RW). Using it with other manufacturers' PTZ heads requires a custom adapter bracket.
Q: What anchor bolts do I need for installation?
A: Anchor requirements depend on your parapet material: concrete parapets require concrete expansion anchors (typically M10 or M12); steel frame edges require through-bolts with washers and lock nuts. Consult your structural engineer or roofing contractor for your specific parapet composition.
Q: Is the height adjustment fixed once installed, or can it be changed?
A: The telescoping tube is field-adjustable. You can extend or retract it post-installation, but the locking mechanism must be released and re-tightened. Plan your height carefully during initial installation to avoid frequent adjustments.
Q: Will the white finish match my rooftop architecture?
A: The RAL9003 white finish is a standard industrial white. If your rooftop uses a different color scheme (dark gray, tan, or custom), you may need to repaint or source a powder-coat service locally. The powder coat is durable and weather-resistant, so repainting is feasible.
Q: What wind loading can the SBP-156LMW handle?
A: The aluminum tube and 1000mm base provide lateral stability for typical rooftop wind loads (up to roughly 90 mph / 40 m/s on the PTZ head itself). Extreme wind zones (hurricane-rated facilities) may require secondary guy-wires or a reinforced mounting system — consult local building codes.
Q: Does the mount include cable conduit or management?
A: No. The aluminum tube is solid; cables (network and power) route alongside the tube or through a separate conduit you provide. Plan cable routing during installation to avoid pinching or UV exposure.

I've specified the Hanwha SBP-156LMW on several rooftop surveillance expansions, and the telescoping design solves a real problem that rigid mounts don't. Parapet walls are rarely uniform — you're often dealing with equipment pads, HVAC curbs, and structural beams that sit at different heights. The SBP-156LMW's 853–1116mm adjustment range covers most of that variance without field fabrication, and the aluminum construction keeps it light enough for one-person installation on exposed roofs.
Technical Highlights:
- 1000mm width and 95mm depth: The wide footprint prevents tipping moment during PTZ pans at maximum extension, and the shallow depth keeps wind loading minimal. A narrower mount shifts the load vector outside the parapet edge, forcing more stress into anchor bolts.
- 7.1 kg aluminum body: One technician can carry this and the PTZ head up a ladder without a second person. Steel equivalents (typically 12–15 kg) require rigging or two bodies — that's real schedule impact on job sites.
- RAL9003 white powder coat: The finish resists salt spray and UV for 8–10 years without significant chalking. If you're near a marine environment or in a high-altitude UV zone, plan for eventual repaint, but it won't rust through like bare steel.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify your PTZ model against the three compatible models before purchase — the mounting interface is proprietary. If you're in a mixed-vendor environment, confirm compatibility with your systems integrator.
- The bracket is only the pole; you must source appropriate anchor bolts for your parapet material (expansion anchors for concrete, through-bolts for steel). Structural sign-off is often required on rooftops, especially for post-2015 construction.
Deploy the SBP-156LMW on commercial or industrial rooftops where Wisenet PTZ Plus cameras are the primary panoramic tool and parapet height variation is the constraint. It's a straightforward, durable accessory that does one thing well — elevates a PTZ camera with flexible height adjustment.
