Hanwha SBP-300CMI White Pendant Mount
Overview
The SBP-300CMI is a purpose-built pendant mount for overhead ceiling installation of Hanwha IP cameras. Aluminum construction with RAL9003 white powder-coat finish means it resists corrosion and blends into white drop-ceiling environments — important when aesthetics matter in retail, lobbies, or open-plan offices. The pendant design positions the camera away from the ceiling surface, improving field of view and reducing glare reflection compared to flush-mount alternatives.
Key Features
- Aluminum construction with white powder-coat finish (RAL9003): Corrosion-resistant material holds up in humid indoor environments (warehouses, food processing) without rust or discoloration over years. The white finish integrates seamlessly with ceiling infrastructure instead of standing out.
- Compact pendant form factor (ø140 × 305mm): The 305mm drop length positions cameras at angles that avoid ceiling washout and glare — critical in high-ceiling warehouses where mounting directly to structure leaves blind zones. Diameter is tight enough to fit between acoustic tiles or into modular ceiling grids.
- Lightweight at 800g (1.76 lbs): Reduces load on ceiling anchors and simplifies one-person installation. No need for additional structural support or reinforcement in standard drop ceilings.
- M10 mount screw interface: Universal thread size compatible with most camera bracket adapters. Means you can swap cameras without replacing the mount hardware.
- Support for Hanwha hanging adaptors (SBP-120HMW, SBP-140HMW, SBP-160HMW1, SBP-180HMW1, and others): The mount accepts Hanwha's own adapter line, allowing you to match specific camera models to this pendant without hunting for third-party brackets. Simplifies procurement and ensures mechanical alignment.
Integration & Compatibility
Use this mount in deployments where cameras need to hang from drop ceilings or exposed structure. Pair with Hanwha surveillance cameras via the compatible adaptor family. Works in climate-controlled indoor spaces (offices, warehouses, retail) and protected outdoor soffits. Not suitable for full weathering or direct wind load — this is a pendant, not a mast or wall bracket.
The aluminum body means no steel rusting if condensation forms during seasonal temperature swings. RAL9003 white reduces visual impact in professionally finished spaces where black mounts stand out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the SBP-300CMI suitable for outdoor soffits or covered eaves?
A: Yes, in protected soffits where rain doesn't fall directly on the mount. The aluminum and powder coat handle humidity and UV exposure. Do not use in rain-driven installations; choose a rated weatherproof bracket for full outdoor environments.
Q: Can I use non-Hanwha cameras with the SBP-300CMI?
A: The M10 thread accepts most standard camera mounting brackets, so third-party cameras may fit. However, Hanwha's hanging adaptors (SBP-120HMW, SBP-140HMW, etc.) are optimized for Hanwha form factors. Verify your camera's bracket compatibility before ordering.
Q: What's the maximum camera weight the pendant will support?
A: The mount itself is aluminum and lightweight, but support depends on ceiling anchor type and installation. Hanwha compact cameras (domes, bullets) are well within limits. For heavy PTZ or turret units, verify with your ceiling contractor or use a reinforced bracket.
Q: How difficult is installation?
A: Straightforward. Locate ceiling studs or use appropriate anchors for the mounting surface, screw the pendant onto the M10 hole, then attach the camera adaptor and camera. Typical one-person job takes 15–20 minutes per mount once adaptor and camera are on hand.
Q: Does the white finish yellow or degrade over time?
A: RAL9003 powder coat is UV-stable and designed for long-term indoor/covered use. In protected indoor environments, color holds for 10+ years. Direct sunlight indoors (near windows) may eventually fade; cover or relocate if prolonged exposure is expected.

The SBP-300CMI is the right choice when your ceiling installation demands a clean appearance and reliable overhead positioning. At 305mm drop length and 140mm diameter, this pendant strikes a balance between aesthetic minimalism and practical camera standoff — you're not cramming the lens into a 2-foot soffit, but you're also not hanging a visible mast in a corporate lobby.
Technical Highlights:
- Aluminum with RAL9003 white powder coat: Means no galvanized steel reflections or rust staining on ceiling tiles after a few seasons. Important in high-humidity warehouses where condensation cycles are normal. The finish is rated for interior and protected exterior (soffits, covered loading docks).
- 800g weight: Reduces lateral load on standard drop-ceiling T-bar systems and doesn't require reinforcement clips. One person can install the pendant without a second set of hands to stabilize it while you thread the fastener.
- M10 universal thread with Hanwha adaptor ecosystem: Compatibility with SBP-120HMW, SBP-140HMW, SBP-160HMW1, SBP-180HMW1 means camera swaps happen without remounting the pendant. Cuts future maintenance labor when you're refreshing camera models.
Deployment Considerations:
- The 305mm pendant length is fixed — if you need tighter ceiling clearance (under 12 inches), consider a flush wall or corner mount instead. This is not a compact pendant.
- Verify your ceiling anchors before deployment. Drop ceilings use toggle or spring-loaded anchors that have weight limits; Hanwha compact cameras are light, but heavy PTZ units (8+ lbs total) may require reinforced ceiling structure or a separate mounting rail.
Deploy the SBP-300CMI in retail environments, office lobbies, and mid-sized warehouses where ceiling aesthetics matter and you're using mid-range Hanwha domes or compact bullets. Skip it if you're mounting heavy PTZ systems or need to sit cameras flush to a soffit.
