Hanwha SBP-300PM1 Pole Mount Base
The SBP-300PM1 is a dedicated pole-mounting bracket designed to anchor Hanwha dome and PTZ cameras on vertical poles in outdoor and industrial surveillance deployments. Built from aluminum rather than steel, it resists rust and salt corrosion — a practical advantage if you're mounting in coastal, humid, or chemically treated environments where ferrous hardware degrades within months.
Key Features
- Aluminum construction: Cuts maintenance overhead in corrosive environments. Unlike painted steel, aluminum won't rust through or require repainting every 2–3 years.
- Compact footprint (185 × 115 × 40 mm): Mounts flush to most standard poles (1.5"–2.5" OD range typical) without adding bulk. Keeps the camera assembly visually discrete on facility perimeters.
- Lightweight at 750 grams: One technician can install without a second pair of hands or a lift. Reduces labor cost on high-pole or difficult-access deployments.
- Ivory finish: Blends into light-colored structures and doesn't stand out as obviously as black. Matters for aesthetic-sensitive sites (retail facades, municipal landmarks).
- Designed for pole orientation: Hardware pattern and plate geometry are optimized for vertical mounting, not wall or ceiling. Using it on a non-pole surface will likely require custom bracket adaptation.
- Compatible with Hanwha dome and PTZ series: Works with the full Hanwha IP camera lineup in those form factors. Verify your specific model's mounting footprint before purchase — compatibility is form-factor-based, not automatic across all Hanwha models.
Deployment Context
This mount is purpose-built for perimeter security and infrastructure monitoring on poles — parking lot light poles, fence-line installations, utility structures, or utility standards. It's not suitable for wall, soffit, or pendant mounting without additional hardware. If your deployment includes both pole and wall cameras, you'll need separate brackets for each orientation.
The aluminum material is weatherproof for direct rain and UV exposure (typical outdoor conditions), but it's not rated for submersion. For sites subject to flooding or high-pressure washdown, confirm that the bracket's fastener holes will remain sealed — water ingress into the mounting interface can cause camera corrosion over time.
Integration & Compatibility
Pairs with any Hanwha dome or PTZ camera that uses the standard 1/4"-20 or M6 tripod mounting interface. Verify your camera's mounting thread before ordering. The bracket itself does not include cable strain relief or weatherproofing sealant — you'll handle those separately depending on whether you're running power and video as separate cables or using a single PoE run.
What's in the Box
The SBP-300PM1 mounting base only. Hardware (bolts, washers, pole clamps) is not included — you'll source these based on your specific pole diameter and fastening standard (typically 1/2" stainless steel U-bolts for aluminum poles, or M8/M10 fasteners if mounting to a threaded post). Hanwha does not supply a mounting template or installation guide in the box.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use the SBP-300PM1 on a wall or ceiling?
A: Not without modification. The mounting interface is optimized for pole attachment. Walls and ceilings require a different plate geometry and fastening pattern. Consider a wall or ceiling bracket from the same manufacturer instead.
Q: What fasteners do I need to attach the SBP-300PM1 to my pole?
A: That depends on your pole material (aluminum, steel, fiberglass) and diameter. Standard practice is stainless steel U-bolts (typically 1/2" diameter for 2" poles) or threaded fasteners (M8 or M10). Specify with your installer or pole supplier.
Q: Is the SBP-300PM1 waterproof?
A: The aluminum base resists corrosion in wet and humid conditions, but it is not sealed or IP-rated as a standalone unit. Water can accumulate around the fastener holes. Ensure your installation includes weather sealing where the bracket meets the pole and where cables exit the mount.
Q: Does the SBP-300PM1 come with mounting hardware?
A: No. You will need to supply U-bolts, nuts, washers, and a camera-to-bracket fastener (typically 1/4"-20 or M6) based on your specific pole and camera model.
Q: Will the SBP-300PM1 fit all Hanwha cameras?
A: No. It is designed for Hanwha dome and PTZ cameras only. Before purchase, verify your camera's mounting footprint and thread size. Bullet cameras and fisheye models use different mount patterns.
Q: What is the weight limit for cameras on the SBP-300PM1?
A: The datasheet does not specify a load rating. Most Hanwha dome cameras (3–5 kg) and compact PTZ units (4–8 kg) are within safe limits for pole-mounted aluminum brackets of this construction, but contact the manufacturer or your installer to confirm for heavier PTZ models.

The SBP-300PM1 aluminum base is a straightforward accessory — no electronics, no surprises. If you're wiring a perimeter with four or more pole-mounted Hanwha domes, this bracket becomes the foundation for your installation reliability. The aluminum construction is the key differentiator here; it's not exotic or costly, but it matters in the field. Most contractors still default to steel brackets and then wonder why they're repainting or replacing corroded fasteners three years down the road.
Technical Highlights:
- Aluminum alloy material: Rated for outdoor exposure without annual maintenance. In coastal or industrial-chemical settings, you avoid the galvanic corrosion and fastener seizing that plague uncoated steel brackets.
- 750 g weight: Light enough that a single technician can position and tighten during pole work without auxiliary rigging. Matters when you're on a boom lift or working alone on site.
- 185 × 115 × 40 mm compact profile: Sits flush to standard poles without protruding, reducing wind loading and visual profile. Critical in high-wind zones or aesthetically sensitive deployments.
Deployment Considerations:
- Fastener sourcing is your responsibility. The bracket itself does not include U-bolts or camera-mount hardware. Plan for M8 or M10 pole fasteners and 1/4"-20 or M6 camera threads — these vary by your camera model and pole OD.
- Water sealing at the pole interface is not baked in. If your site experiences heavy rain or fog, tape the fastener holes and apply silicone around the bracket-to-pole contact point. Neglect this and you'll get water pooling inside the bracket cavity, corroding the fastener heads over 12–18 months.
- Load rating is not published; it's assumed adequate for standard Hanwha domes (3–5 kg) and smaller PTZ units (≤8 kg). If you're mounting a 15+ kg heavy PTZ, verify with the manufacturer or your integrator before proceeding.
Choose the SBP-300PM1 for perimeter and utility-pole surveillance where corrosion resistance and low-profile installation are non-negotiable — parking lots, coastal properties, industrial fence lines, and utility infrastructure. Skip it if your deployment is wall-centric or if you need submersion-rated hardware for flood-prone sites.
