i-PRO WV-QSR506F1-W ANSI Female Mount Bracket
The i-PRO WV-QSR506F1-W is a white ANSI-compliant female mount bracket designed for straightforward ceiling and wall installations in commercial surveillance deployments. This is a passive mechanical component — no electronics, no power draw — that provides a standardized interface between i-PRO IP cameras and building infrastructure.
Overview
Mount brackets are often overlooked in system design, but choosing the wrong one creates headaches during installation and complicates future camera repositioning. The WV-QSR506F1-W solves this by adhering to the ANSI female mount standard, which means it integrates with a broad range of i-PRO camera models that use the matching ANSI male connector. If you're deploying multiple i-PRO cameras across a facility, standardizing on ANSI mounts simplifies procurement, training, and maintenance — you use the same bracket type across different camera models and locations, reducing SKU sprawl and installation confusion.
The white finish suits finished environments where visible mounting hardware matters — offices, retail spaces, and client-facing areas benefit from a neutral color that blends with ceiling tile and wall surfaces rather than standing out as industrial black hardware.
Key Features
- ANSI Female Mount Interface: Accepts any i-PRO camera with an ANSI male connector, eliminating proprietary bracket lock-in and simplifying camera swaps or upgrades down the road.
- White Powder-Coat Finish: Aesthetically neutral in finished spaces; does not require paint or wrapping to match interior décor, saving time and cost in pre-delivery preparation.
- Durable Construction: Built to withstand repeated installation cycles and the vibration/settling of typical commercial building environments without creep or loosening.
- Passive Component: No power supply, no batteries, no firmware — nothing to fail, nothing to configure. Mount, tighten, and forget.
- Ceiling or Wall Mounting: Supports both horizontal (ceiling) and vertical (wall) installation geometries, giving you flexibility in camera placement strategy without needing alternative bracket designs.
- Commercial Duty Rating: Engineered for enterprise deployments requiring reliable, long-term performance across dozens or hundreds of installation points.
Integration & Compatibility
The WV-QSR506F1-W works with any i-PRO camera model featuring an ANSI male mount connector. Before ordering, confirm your camera model's mount type — check the camera's product page or installation guide for the connector specification. If your cameras use a different mount standard (e.g., 1/4-20, M6, or proprietary), this bracket will not be compatible.
Installation requires basic fastening hardware — typically M6 or 1/4-20 bolts and anchors appropriate to your substrate (drywall, concrete, or metal stud). The bracket itself does not include mounting fasteners; these are normally provided by the site and selected based on ceiling or wall composition and load rating.
When to Choose a Different Model
If your i-PRO cameras use a non-ANSI mount type, consult i-PRO's bracket catalog for the appropriate alternative. If you require special positioning (e.g., a pendant extension for elevated camera drop or a recessed ceiling mount for flush installation), i-PRO offers complementary bracket variants designed for those geometries.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the WV-QSR506F1-W work with non-i-PRO cameras?
A: No. This bracket is designed specifically for i-PRO cameras with ANSI male connectors. Compatibility with other brands' products is not supported.
Q: Does the bracket include mounting fasteners and anchors?
A: No. The WV-QSR506F1-W is the bracket assembly only. You will supply site-specific fasteners (M6 or 1/4-20 bolts and wall/ceiling anchors) based on your substrate.
Q: Can I use this bracket for wall mounting as well as ceiling mounting?
A: Yes. The ANSI female mount supports both ceiling and wall installations. Ensure your fastening substrate and anchors are rated for the weight of your mounted camera.
Q: Is the white finish durable in outdoor environments?
A: The WV-QSR506F1-W is rated for standard commercial indoor and covered outdoor environments. For exposed outdoor installations with high UV exposure or salt spray, consider whether the white finish will fade or require periodic maintenance.
Q: What is the load rating for this bracket?
A: Consult the product datasheet or i-PRO technical support for exact load specifications. In general, ANSI female mounts are designed for compact IP cameras (typically under 2 kg); confirm your specific camera's weight against the bracket's rating before installation.

The WV-QSR506F1-W is a no-nonsense mounting solution that pays dividends when you're standardizing hardware across a multi-camera i-PRO deployment. The ANSI female mount specification is the real value here — it locks you into i-PRO's ecosystem but guarantees mechanical compatibility across most of their current and legacy camera lines.
Deployment Considerations:
- ANSI Connector Lock-In: You are committed to i-PRO's camera lineup if you adopt this bracket at scale. If you foresee mixing i-PRO with third-party cameras, this bracket alone won't bridge that gap — plan for separate bracket types or use a universal mount adapter.
- Fastener Selection Critical: Do not skimp on substrate anchors. The bracket itself is durable, but a camera mounted on a drywall anchor rated for 10 pounds will fail if the camera exceeds that load. Have the integrator confirm load ratings before handoff.
- White Finish Maintenance: In dusty or high-humidity environments, plan occasional cleaning to preserve the white aesthetic. The finish is durable but not immune to discoloration over time.
This bracket excels in enterprise retail, office, and hospitality environments where i-PRO's IP camera line is standardized across the entire facility. It reduces installation variance, speeds deployment, and cuts down on future support overhead — exactly what you want in a distributed surveillance architecture.
