Hanwha SBP-300CMW1 Aluminum Ceiling Mount
The Hanwha SBP-300CMW1 is a purpose-built ceiling suspension mount engineered to anchor Hanwha IP cameras and compatible accessories in permanent indoor surveillance deployments. This aluminum mount delivers the mechanical stability required for overhead installations while maintaining a compact footprint and professional appearance across retail, corporate, education, and hospitality environments.
Key Features
- Aluminum construction with RAL9003 white powder coat: Corrosion-resistant finish ensures longevity in climate-controlled indoor spaces without rust or degradation. The white finish blends into most ceiling systems, reducing visual obtrusiveness while maintaining professional aesthetics.
- Lightweight 1.5kg (3.37 lb) profile: Low mass simplifies ceiling installation and minimizes structural load on drop ceiling grids or concrete anchors. Allows one technician to position and secure the mount during commissioning.
- Compact ø180 × 358.5mm footprint: Minimal ceiling footprint means the mount fits discretely above drop ceilings or recessed into hard ceilings without requiring large cavity modifications. Reduces visible profile for installations where aesthetics matter.
- TR30 mount screw interface: Proprietary Hanwha thread standard ensures repeatable, tool-free camera attachment. Prevents accidental camera rotation or slip during installation and maintenance.
- M25 conduit hole (19.1mm opening): Accepts standard electrical conduit sleeves for organized cable routing and concealment. Allows power and network cables to be bundled and hidden inside conduit, maintaining clean ceiling appearance and protecting cables from physical damage or accidental snagging.
- Hanging adaptor compatibility: Works with Hanwha SBP-120HMW, SBP-140HMW, SBP-160HMW1, and SBP-180HMW1 adaptors. These adaptors accept different camera head types, providing installation flexibility across multiple camera models within the Hanwha lineup without requiring different mounts.
- Pipe extension system support: Compatible with extension pipes SBP-C15P, SBP-150CMP, SBP-300CMP, and SBP-900CMP. Extensions allow deployment at different ceiling-to-camera distances — useful for suspended drop ceilings, architectural overhangs, or installations requiring offset positioning without remounting.
Integration and Compatibility
The SBP-300CMW1 anchors to standard ceiling systems using threaded fasteners (fasteners not included — source M8 or M10 bolts and anchors appropriate to your ceiling type: drywall anchors for drop ceilings, concrete wedge anchors for hard ceilings, or threaded studs for suspended structures). The TR30 screw interface accepts any Hanwha camera with TR30 threaded mounting lugs. Verify your specific ceiling mount type and hanging adaptor compatibility before ordering to confirm the combination supports your camera model.
Deployment Context
Deploy this mount in indoor facilities where overhead coverage is required and permanent installation is justified. Drop ceiling environments (retail stores, office corridors, warehouse offices) are primary use cases — the mount's lightweight design and compact profile fit standard 2×2 or 2×4 ceiling grids without special reinforcement. Hard-ceiling installations (schools, hospitals, government buildings) require proper structural anchoring but are equally supported. Avoid outdoor or high-humidity areas; aluminum powder coat will corrode in salt spray or persistent condensation environments — use stainless steel or outdoor-rated mounts in those cases.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What fasteners do I need to install the SBP-300CMW1 to my ceiling?
A: Fasteners are not included. For drop ceilings, use toggle bolts or threaded anchors rated for drywall. For hard concrete or structural ceilings, use M8 or M10 wedge anchors or threaded rods appropriate to your structural material. Consult a ceiling installer if uncertain about load-bearing capacity.
Q: Can I use the SBP-300CMW1 outdoors?
A: No. The aluminum powder coat is not rated for outdoor UV exposure, salt spray, or persistent moisture. This mount is designed for climate-controlled indoor environments only. For outdoor ceiling installations, specify an outdoor-rated aluminum or stainless steel mount.
Q: Does the SBP-300CMW1 come with cables or a hanging adaptor?
A: No. The mount body only is included. You must purchase a compatible hanging adaptor (SBP-120HMW, SBP-140HMW, SBP-160HMW1, or SBP-180HMW1) separately, based on your camera model. Network and power cables are sourced independently.
Q: What is the maximum weight this mount can support?
A: Load capacity depends on your ceiling structure and fastener selection, not the mount itself. Verify with your structural engineer or ceiling contractor. The mount weighs 1.5kg; your total load (mount + adaptor + camera) typically ranges 2–4kg. Standard drop ceiling anchors support this weight; hard-ceiling anchors have higher ratings.
Q: Can I extend the mount further from the ceiling using a pipe extension?
A: Yes. The SBP-300CMW1 supports pipe extensions SBP-C15P, SBP-150CMP, SBP-300CMP, and SBP-900CMP. These allow the camera head to be positioned 150mm to 900mm below the ceiling. Longer extensions may require reinforced ceiling anchoring — consult your installer.

The SBP-300CMW1 is a straightforward, well-engineered ceiling mount for Hanwha camera deployments where discrete overhead positioning matters. At 1.5kg with a ø180mm footprint, this mount slides into most indoor ceiling systems without structural gymnastics. The RAL9003 white powder coat finish and compact profile make it the quieter choice for visible installations where the mount shouldn't distract from the ceiling aesthetic — retail storefronts, conference rooms, and open office spaces where gray or black hardware stands out.
Technical Highlights:
- TR30 threaded interface: Eliminates wiggle and slippage during camera attachment. Hanwha standardized this screw thread across their camera lineup, so once you have the right hanging adaptor, the camera seats firmly and predictably.
- M25 conduit routing (19.1mm hole): Bundling cables inside conduit keeps the ceiling clean and cables protected from accidental snags or UV if repositioned near windows. Matters more than it sounds in facilities with frequent reconfigurations.
- Lightweight aluminum construction: Drop ceiling environments benefit most — 1.5kg is light enough that standard toggle bolts or drywall anchors handle it without overloading grid support. Concrete ceiling installs still need proper wedge anchors, but the lower mass makes handling and leveling easier during commissioning.
Deployment Considerations:
- Indoor-only rating: RAL9003 powder coat is not UV or salt-spray resistant. If your facility borders outdoor areas or has high humidity (parking structures, locker rooms, kitchens), degradation will occur over 2–3 years. Hard-coat anodize or stainless steel mounts required for those exposures.
- Hanging adaptor selection is a hidden dependency: The mount itself is generic, but you must match the adaptor to your specific camera model. Mismatch means no TR30 engagement. Confirm the adaptor part number before ordering both together.
- Fastener sourcing: The mount does not include ceiling anchors. You will spend time selecting the correct bolt and anchor for your ceiling type. This is correct by design — different facilities have different structural materials — but plan for that sourcing step in your BOM.
Positioning: This mount is built for drop ceiling and hard-ceiling indoor environments where permanent overhead coverage justifies the installation effort and where aesthetics require discretion. If you're outfitting a retail chain or corporate office with dozens of cameras and drop ceilings are uniform, the SBP-300CMW1 (often searched as SBP 300CMW1) eliminates the hunt for one-off mounts across different locations.
