i-PRO WV-QSR507F-W Wall Mount Bracket 1.5 NPS
The WV-QSR507F-W is a precision mounting bracket engineered for i-PRO dual-sensor network cameras. This accessory handles the mechanical interface between wall surfaces and professional surveillance cameras, eliminating improvised mounting and ensuring repeatable installation geometry across deployments.
Key Features
- ISO female parallel pipe thread (Rp 1-1/2): Accepts standard male taper connections (R 1-1/2, 11 crest, 40A), meaning you can source complementary pipe fittings locally rather than waiting for proprietary hardware. Simplifies logistics on multi-site rollouts.
- 25.4 mm mounting depth: Provides adequate stand-off distance from the wall surface for cable routing behind the camera body and minor adjustments without forcing cables through tight geometry. Critical when wall surfaces are uneven or when you need to run conduit up the back of the bracket.
- White powder-coated steel finish: Blends with standard interior walls in retail and corporate environments. The coating resists minor scuffs during installation but is not rated for outdoor weathering — confine this bracket to climate-controlled interiors.
- Wall-mounted configuration: Direct wall fastening without intermediate arms or extensions. Keeps the profile compact and minimizes the shadow or visual footprint of the mounting hardware.
- Built for dual-sensor payloads: Engineered load path and thread sizing support the weight and moment loads of i-PRO's multi-sensor camera heads. Do not substitute this bracket for single-sensor models without load verification.
- Compatible with male taper pipe thread (R 1-1/2): Thread specification is 40A, 11 crest, minimum 25.4 mm engagement length. Ensure your local male fittings meet this spec — slight variations in thread pitch can cause cross-threading or loose fits.
Integration and Compatibility
This bracket is designed for i-PRO dual-sensor IP cameras with matching port geometry. Verify the camera model includes a 1.5 NPS male taper port before ordering. The ISO parallel female thread (Rp designation) is metric-based; do not confuse it with NPT (National Pipe Thread, US standard), which uses a different angle and pitch. If your facility has existing NPT infrastructure, adapters exist but add cost and potential leak points.
Wall surface preparation is your responsibility: locate studs or solid backing, use appropriate anchors for drywall, and ensure the wall can support the camera assembly dead load plus any swing moment from cable tension. For exterior walls in older buildings, confirm the depth doesn't interfere with insulation or vapor barriers.
Mounting Logistics
The bracket accepts any male pipe fitting that meets the ISO R 1-1/2 specification. This modularity cuts lead times on replacement installations — a broken bracket can be swapped on-site while waiting for a new i-PRO-branded unit. Thread sealant (PTFE tape or pipe dope) is not included; standard practice for plumbing-style connections, but confirm your facility policy on fluid residue near electrical connections.
When to Choose a Different Accessory
If your camera requires ceiling mounting, corner mount angles, or outdoor weather resistance, consult the full i-PRO bracket family. This unit is strictly wall-interior only. For pendant or drop installations, a different form factor is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the WV-QSR507F-W suitable for outdoor walls?
A: No. The white powder coat finish is rated for indoor environments only. Outdoor exposure will cause rust and finish degradation over 6–12 months depending on climate. If you need exterior wall mounting, specify an outdoor-rated bracket variant.
Q: What wall anchors should I use with this bracket?
A: The bracket itself does not include wall fasteners. Use toggle bolts (drywall) or lag screws (studs) appropriate to your wall type and the dead load of your camera system. Consult the camera manufacturer's weight spec and your facility's structural guidelines.
Q: Can I use NPT (National Pipe Thread) fittings instead of ISO R 1-1/2?
A: No. NPT and ISO parallel pipe thread (Rp) have different thread angles and pitches. Cross-threading will occur. If you only have NPT male fittings available, a dedicated adapter is required — this adds cost and a potential leak path.
Q: What is the maximum camera weight this bracket supports?
A: The bracket is engineered for i-PRO dual-sensor cameras, typically 2–3 kg. Confirm the specific camera weight in the camera datasheet. The bracket alone does not specify a standalone load rating — load capacity depends on wall anchor strength and wall composition.
Q: Is installation software or drivers required?
A: No. This is a passive mechanical bracket. Installation is mechanical fastening only — no electrical connection, no configuration, no firmware.
Q: Does the bracket come with mounting hardware?
A: No. You supply wall anchors and fasteners appropriate to your wall type. The bracket includes only the threaded port interface for the camera mount.

The WV-QSR507F-W is a straightforward mechanical accessory — no surprises, no electronics. The ISO female parallel pipe thread interface (Rp 1-1/2, 40A, 11 crest) is the critical spec: it's metric-based, not the US NPT standard many integrators default to. If your facility stocks NPT fittings, you'll need an adapter, which adds friction and potential leak vectors. The 25.4 mm depth is modest — enough for cable clearance behind the camera but not generous. On a wall with existing conduit or surface-mounted boxes, measure twice before committing the bracket location.
Technical Highlights:
- ISO Rp 1-1/2 female thread: Metric parallel spec, not NPT. Accepts standard male taper fittings (R 1-1/2, 11 crest, minimum 25.4 mm thread engagement). Advantage: sourcing is commodity-friendly. Disadvantage: must be precise on the spec to avoid cross-threading.
- 25.4 mm stand-off depth: Sufficient for most cable bundles and minor rear-panel access. Tight if you're routing multi-strand shielded cables or conduit. Measure your camera's rear geometry before finalizing wall layout.
- White powder-coated steel finish: Indoor-rated only. Acceptable for controlled retail, office, and institutional interiors. Skip this finish if the wall faces a window, exterior door, or any intermittent moisture source — rust bloom will appear within months.
Deployment Considerations:
- Wall anchor responsibility is yours: The bracket does not ship with lag screws, toggle bolts, or expansion anchors. You must specify fasteners matched to wall type (drywall, plaster, masonry) and camera dead load. Undersizing anchors is the #1 field failure mode.
- Thread sealant not included: ISO pipe threads are unsealed by default. PTFE tape or pipe compound is standard practice for humidity-exposed connections, but confirm your facility's policy — some environments prohibit fluid residues near electrical runs.
Deploy the WV-QSR507F-W for interior wall mounting of i-PRO dual-sensor cameras in retail loss-prevention, corporate security, and institutional surveillance where compact, clean mounting is required and the wall is climate-controlled. If you need outdoor weather resistance, a stainless steel or rated-exterior variant is mandatory.
