Hanwha SHD-1400FPW Plenum Flush Mount White
The SHD-1400FPW is a professional plenum-rated flush-mount accessory engineered for discreet ceiling installation of Hanwha dome cameras. Built from aluminum with a RAL9003 white finish, it delivers a clean, integrated appearance while maintaining structural integrity in commercial security deployments. This accessory is purpose-built to support Hanwha's QNV-C series dome cameras in standardized installations.
Key Features
- Aluminum plenum-rated housing: Plenum certification means this mount is safe for use in air-handling spaces above drop ceilings — no off-gassing or fire-hazard concerns in HVAC plenums. The aluminum body resists corrosion and delivers a professional appearance across retail, corporate, and institutional deployments.
- Compact flush-mount profile (ø202.3 × 92.7mm): The small footprint minimizes visual intrusion while the flush design sits flush with the ceiling surface. This matters in high-traffic areas where discrete camera placement is a priority.
- Standard ø185mm ceiling hole: Matches common drop-ceiling tile hole patterns, reducing on-site modifications and accelerating installation. If your ceiling already has a standard hole cut, this mount drops in without additional cutting.
- Lightweight at 835g (1.84 lbs): The aluminum construction keeps total assembly weight low, reducing mechanical stress on ceiling grid and mount point. Easy to handle during installation — one technician can position and secure without tools or assistance.
- Supports tile ceiling thickness 10–70mm (0.4–2.8 inches): Accommodates standard drop-ceiling tiles and composite ceiling boards. The SHD-1400FPW securely anchors cameras across typical commercial ceiling types without special adapters or shims.
- 2kg camera load capacity with 4kg ceiling board limit: Rated to handle dome cameras up to 2kg; the ceiling itself must support 4kg distributed load. This prevents overloading lightweight suspended ceilings. Verify your specific camera weight against the 2kg limit before deployment.
- TR20 Torx mount screw specification: Uses standard Torx fasteners for secure attachment. Simplifies on-site repair and maintenance — no proprietary tooling required.
Integration & Compatibility
The SHD-1400FPW is designed specifically for Hanwha QNV-C8083R and QNV-C9083R dome cameras. Verify camera model compatibility before ordering — this mount will not work with other camera families or form factors. Check the Hanwha camera catalog to confirm your model qualifies. When planning multiple-camera deployments, account for plenum airflow — consult your HVAC or facilities team if cameras are mounted in active air-handling spaces.
When to Choose a Different Approach
If your ceiling thickness falls outside the 10–70mm range, or if your camera weighs more than 2kg, explore alternative Hanwha mount options in the same family — the vendor offers wall-mount and pendant variants for different geometries. If you require a non-white finish, confirm Hanwha offers the SHD-1400 in alternate colors before committing to raw aluminum or repainting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What camera models work with the SHD-1400FPW?
A: The SHD-1400FPW is compatible with Hanwha QNV-C8083R and QNV-C9083R dome cameras only. Do not use with other Hanwha camera models or third-party brands.
Q: Can I use this mount in a plenum above my drop ceiling?
A: Yes — the SHD-1400FPW is plenum-rated and certified for use in air-handling spaces. No fire or off-gassing concerns in HVAC plenums.
Q: What's the maximum camera weight this mount supports?
A: Maximum 2kg camera load. The ceiling structure itself must support 4kg distributed load. Verify your camera specifications against this limit.
Q: Does this mount work with thick structural ceilings?
A: No — the SHD-1400FPW accommodates tile ceiling thickness of 10–70mm (0.4–2.8 inches). If your ceiling is thicker or solid concrete, this mount is not suitable.
Q: What finish does the SHD-1400FPW come in?
A: RAL9003 white aluminum. If you need a different color, contact your supplier or explore other Hanwha mount variants.
Q: Is plenum certification the same as fire-rated?
A: Plenum certification means the material is safe for use in air-handling spaces and won't release toxic fumes or ignite. It is not a structural fire-rating; it addresses material safety in HVAC plenums.

The SHD-1400FPW is a straightforward mount — no bells, no analytics, just solid aluminum plenum geometry. That simplicity is its strength. The ø202.3mm footprint and 10–70mm tile-thickness range nail the standard drop-ceiling deployment. What matters in the field: plenum certification eliminates fire-safety reviews in HVAC plenums, and the 2kg load limit is real — overweight cameras will tear out the mount.
Technical Highlights:
- Aluminum plenum construction: No off-gassing, no fire hazard in air-handling spaces. Matters if your installation spans both standard and plenum ceilings.
- ø185mm standard ceiling hole: Fits existing drop-ceiling perforations — no carbide hole-saws, no delays on install day.
- 2kg camera / 4kg ceiling load split: Camera-side limit is strict; verify QNV-C8083R or QNV-C9083R weight at procurement. Ceiling-side limit prevents tile grid overload in lightweight suspended systems.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm ceiling hole diameter before ordering — if your tiles have a non-standard hole pattern, this mount won't save you labor.
- Plenum-rated ≠ fire-rated ≠ rated for submersion. This is an air-space accessory only. Do not use in wet or outdoor environments.
Solid choice for standardized corporate or retail networks where drop ceilings and QNV-C dome cameras are the norm. If your ceiling is concrete, structural, or thicker than 70mm, or if you're mixing camera brands, look elsewhere.
