Pelco 180-FE-WG-MT Wedge Wall Mount for 180° Fisheye Cameras
The Pelco 180-FE-WG-MT solves a critical deployment problem: a 180-degree fisheye camera mounted flat against a wall aims straight outward and fails to capture the floor-level traffic that matters most in hallways, corridors, and retail spaces. This precision wedge mount tilts the panoramic lens downward at a calibrated angle, redirecting the full 180-degree field of view across the monitored floor and lower walls. Without this wedge geometry, you lose situational awareness in the zone where incidents actually occur.
Key Features
- Fixed calibrated wedge angle: Engineered specifically for Pelco 180-degree fisheye lens geometry — no adjustable brackets or guesswork. The angle is pre-calculated to deliver optimal downward panoramic coverage in standard hallway and corridor heights.
- Downward floor-level coverage: Redirects the full 180-degree field of view down across floor and lower walls, capturing traffic, gait, behavior, and floor-level activity that straight-wall mounting misses entirely.
- IP66 environmental rating: Sealed construction withstands direct rain spray and dust ingress — deploy this in semi-outdoor covered areas, loading docks, or high-humidity warehouse environments without worry about corrosion or weathering.
- Wall-mount only design: This wedge is engineered for wall installation in hallways, corridor ends, above doorways, and building entrances. Ceiling-mounted fisheye deployments do not use a wedge adapter and should not be paired with this mount.
- NDAA Section 889 compliant: Meets federal procurement restrictions — appropriate for government agencies, regulated sectors, and enterprise deployments with supply-chain compliance requirements.
- Durable commercial/industrial construction: Built for 24/7 surveillance in retail, warehouse, and security-critical environments. Integrates seamlessly with ONVIF-compliant network video systems and NVR platforms.
- 5-year warranty with global support: Backed by Pelco's service network — critical if you need depot repair or technical escalation on a large multi-site deployment.
Deployment Considerations
Mounting height is non-negotiable for performance. Panoramic distortion and floor-level coverage accuracy vary significantly with installation height — a mount at 7 feet above floor will capture a different floor footprint than one at 12 feet. Always conduct site survey testing during pre-deployment to confirm the wedge angle delivers the coverage pattern you need before rolling out across multiple locations.
This mount is compatible with Pelco 180-degree fisheye camera systems. Verify your camera model supports the 180-degree panoramic format before ordering the 180-FE-WG-MT (often searched as 180 FE WG MT). The wedge is designed for wall mounting only; if you need ceiling coverage in the same space, deploy a separate fisheye camera without a wedge mount in that location.
When to Choose This Mount
Deploy the 180-FE-WG-MT in retail aisles where you need to track floor-level activity without traditional multi-camera arrangements, security checkpoints where gait and behavior matter, building entrances where arrival/departure logging requires full floor visibility, and warehouse corridors where traffic flow and item-handling detection depend on lower-angle panoramic coverage. The wedge geometry maximizes situational awareness in confined spaces and reduces the camera count needed to cover a hallway end-to-end.
Integration with Pelco Surveillance Systems
The 180-FE-WG-MT integrates with Pelco IP camera systems and any ONVIF-compliant video management system (VMS). Confirm your Pelco fisheye camera supports ONVIF Profile S or higher for full compatibility. The mount itself carries no power or data connections — electrical integration happens at the camera end, and the wedge is purely a mechanical positioning adapter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use the 180-FE-WG-MT on a ceiling-mounted fisheye camera?
A: No. The wedge mount is designed for wall installation only. Ceiling-mounted 180-degree fisheye cameras do not require a wedge adapter and should not be paired with this mount — the geometry will not align correctly.
Q: What is the warranty on the Pelco 180-FE-WG-MT?
A: The 180-FE-WG-MT includes a 5-year warranty and access to Pelco's global service network for repair and technical support.
Q: Is the 180-FE-WG-MT NDAA Section 889 compliant?
A: Yes. The 180-FE-WG-MT meets NDAA Section 889 compliance requirements and is approved for federal and regulated-sector procurement.
Q: What is the IP rating on this mount?
A: IP66 rated — it resists direct rain spray and dust, making it suitable for semi-outdoor covered areas, loading docks, and humid warehouse environments.
Q: Does mounting height affect coverage?
A: Yes. Panoramic distortion and floor-level coverage vary with installation height. Conduct site survey testing during pre-deployment to confirm the wedge angle delivers the coverage pattern you need at your specific mounting height.
Q: Will the 180-FE-WG-MT work with my ONVIF camera?
A: The 180-FE-WG-MT is compatible with Pelco 180-degree fisheye cameras. Verify your camera model supports the 180-degree panoramic format and integrates with ONVIF-compliant VMS platforms.

The 180-FE-WG-MT is a purpose-built solution for a specific problem: unaided 180-degree fisheye cameras mounted flat on a wall miss floor-level activity. This wedge redirects that panoramic lens downward at a calibrated angle, converting a "straight outward" aiming dead-zone into operational floor-to-ceiling coverage. If your deployment requires full floor visibility without adding camera count, this mount delivers measurable improvement in situational awareness.
Technical Highlights:
- IP66 environmental sealing: Withstands direct rain and dust ingress without corrosion — essential in loading docks, warehouse corridors, and semi-outdoor covered areas where moisture and particulate are constant.
- Fixed calibrated wedge geometry: No adjustable brackets or field tuning — the angle is pre-engineered for Pelco 180-degree fisheye optics. Reduces installation variables and improves predictability across multi-site rollouts.
- NDAA Section 889 compliance: Clears federal procurement restrictions — non-negotiable for government agencies and enterprise contracts with supply-chain compliance mandates.
Deployment Considerations:
- Mounting height is critical: panoramic distortion and floor footprint coverage vary significantly with installation height (7 ft vs. 12 ft above floor will show different coverage patterns). Always conduct site survey testing at the actual mounting location before full deployment.
- Wall-mount only — this wedge is not compatible with ceiling-mounted fisheye deployments. Ceiling installations do not use a wedge adapter.
The 180-FE-WG-MT fits retail aisles, security checkpoints, and warehouse corridors where floor-level activity tracking is non-negotiable and multi-camera overhead installations are cost-prohibitive. A single fisheye camera with this wedge mount will capture behavior and gait data that a straight-wall-mounted fisheye entirely misses — particularly valuable in high-traffic corridors where you need arrival/departure logging and incident-zone awareness without traditional PTZ complexity.
