Hanwha SBP-315C Mounting Hole Cover Plate
Overview
The Hanwha SBP-315C is a mounting accessory designed to address a practical concern on outdoor and indoor PTZ camera installations: exposed fastener holes detract from finished appearance and can trap moisture or debris around the mount interface. This five-piece set of white polycarbonate cover plates conceals those fastening points while maintaining weather resistance and system integrity. Designed for use with Hanwha's SBP-250WMW and SBP-400WMW mount systems paired with PNM-9084RQZ/RQZ1 and PNM-9085RQZ/RQZ1 multi-sensor PTZ cameras, the SBP-315C solves the aesthetic and maintenance gap that often gets overlooked until site walkthrough or customer photo review. If you're deploying wall or pole-mounted PTZ camera systems and need a finished look without visible hardware, this is the practical solution.
Key Features
- Polycarbonate material: Resists UV degradation and maintains structural integrity under outdoor temperature swings — important because cheaper plastic covers become brittle or discolor within 12–18 months of sun exposure. Polycarbonate avoids that failure mode entirely, protecting your hardware and aesthetic investment over 3+ years of deployment.
- RAL 9003 white finish: Ensures consistency with standard building aesthetics and outdoor camera housing profiles. The neutral white integrates visually with dome and bracket finishes rather than standing out as an afterthought or mismatched component.
- Dimensions (ø326 × 10 mm): The 12.83-inch diameter covers the footprint typical of professional PTZ mount plates, while the 10 mm thickness provides enough structural stiffness to resist sagging or flexing if accidentally bumped during maintenance or wind load — critical on pole-mounted systems where vibration can loosen fasteners over time.
- Weight per unit (210 g / 0.46 lb): Adds negligible load to the mount assembly — no concern for pole buckling calculations or bracket stress analysis on existing installations. Even across five units per pack, total weight impact is under 2.3 lbs, irrelevant to structural engineering.
- Quantity (5 pieces per pack): Ideal for a small multi-camera deployment or a single larger site with redundant PTZ units. If planning a 10-camera PTZ array, budget two packs. Buying in discrete packs avoids overstock on single installations.
- Compatibility with SBP-250WMW and SBP-400WMW mounts: Confirmed support for PNM-9084RQZ/RQZ1 and PNM-9085RQZ/RQZ1 multi-sensor PTZ models. Before ordering, cross-check your mount model number against the mount assembly drawing or product tag to avoid fitment surprises — mounting hole diameter and spacing must align.
Installation & Compatibility
The SBP-315C is a drop-in mechanical accessory — no rewiring, configuration, or compatibility concerns with your VMS or network backbone. Installation involves securing the cover plate over the mounting fastener holes on your PTZ bracket after the camera and mount are already positioned and cabled. This is typically a 2–3 minute task per unit and requires only hand pressure or a rubber mallet to seat the cover flush against the bracket face.
Because the covers are mechanical only, they do not interact with electrical signals, PoE delivery, or camera firmware. IP camera integrators often overlook aesthetic finishing accessories like these until a site walkthrough or customer photo review, at which point re-ordering and re-deploying becomes awkward. Order the SBP-315C at the same time as your mount systems to avoid deployment delays and ensure all hardware is on-site during initial commissioning. Verify mount model compatibility in advance — the ø326 mm profile is specific to the SBP-250WMW and SBP-400WMW families.
When to Verify Compatibility
If you're deploying bracket systems outside the SBP-250WMW / SBP-400WMW family — for example, third-party universal mounts or older Hanwha surveillance bracket models — verify mounting hole diameter and spacing against the SBP-315C's ø326 mm profile before committing. Oversized or undersized covers will not seat properly and may shift or fall out during wind or vibration. Consult the mount assembly manual or cross-reference the mount product tag to confirm fastener hole layout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the SBP-315C compatible with all Hanwha PTZ mounts?
A: No. The SBP-315C is designed specifically for SBP-250WMW and SBP-400WMW mount systems paired with PNM-9084RQZ/RQZ1 and PNM-9085RQZ/RQZ1 PTZ cameras. Verify mounting hole diameter and spacing with your mount assembly drawing before ordering.
Q: Can the SBP-315C be used indoors?
A: Yes. Although manufactured for outdoor durability, the polycarbonate construction and white finish work equally well on indoor wall or ceiling-mounted PTZ systems where exposed fasteners are a visual concern.
Q: What tools are required to install the covers?
A: None, typically. Hand pressure or a rubber mallet is sufficient to seat the covers over the fastener holes after the camera and mount are already installed and cabled.
Q: Will the SBP-315C affect camera operation or PoE delivery?
A: No. The covers are mechanical-only and do not interact with electrical signals, power delivery, or firmware. They have no impact on network performance or camera function.
Q: How long will the white finish last in outdoor sunlight?
A: Polycarbonate resists UV degradation significantly better than cheaper plastics. Expect the RAL 9003 white finish to maintain its appearance for 3+ years in direct sunlight without brittleness or severe discoloration — typical for professional outdoor mounting hardware.
Q: Should I order extra covers for future expansion?
A: Plan your full camera count in advance and order accordingly. One pack (5 units) covers a small deployment or provides spares; larger projects should budget 2+ packs upfront to avoid second-order delays.
