Pelco SRXV-PLM Pole Pipe Mount for Sarix Value Cameras
Overview
The Pelco SRXV-PLM is a universal pole and pipe mount engineered for Pelco Sarix Value IP cameras and compatible outdoor bullet cameras. This accessory solves a genuine deployment constraint: when wall and ceiling surfaces are unavailable or unsuitable, the SRXV-PLM clamps securely to cylindrical poles, light standards, fence posts, and structural pipes—expanding installation options in perimeter security, parking lot coverage, and industrial yard surveillance.
The mount accepts both dome and bullet form factors using a single SKU, which simplifies procurement for mixed-format deployments. This is a straightforward mechanical accessory with no electronics, no power draw, and no configuration required—you bolt it to a pole, attach your camera, and orient it. Note: if you're deploying Sarix Value 2 cameras on a pole, specify the SRXV2-PLMT-1001 adapter instead.
Key Features
- Universal dome and bullet compatibility: One mount works with both form factors, reducing part count and spare inventory across mixed camera deployments.
- Cylindrical pole clamping: Secure grip on poles and pipes eliminates the need for wall or ceiling penetrations. Verify pole diameter falls within the clamping range before purchase to ensure a proper fit.
- NDAA Section 889 compliance: Government procurement teams benefit from pre-certified compliance status, eliminating secondary review and enabling faster contract awards for federal, state, and defense contractor installations.
- Simplified SKU management: One part number covers both dome and bullet installations in a single environment, reducing logistics overhead when managing large mixed-camera installations across multiple sites.
- Outdoor-rated construction: Engineered to tolerate temperature swings and moisture exposure typical of outdoor perimeter and parking lot deployments—confirm final environmental rating by consulting the product datasheet for your region's specific climate demands.
- Pole-mounted load considerations: Pole-mounted cameras experience higher wind and vibration loads than wall or ceiling mounts. Before installation, verify that the pole's structural rating supports combined weight of the mount, camera, and lens under your site's expected wind speeds. Undersized or deteriorated poles create safety and stability risks.
Integration & Compatibility
The SRXV-PLM integrates with the full Pelco Sarix Value camera line, providing a consistent mounting solution across multiple locations. It does not modify camera optics, power delivery, or network connectivity—it is purely a mechanical positioning interface. For outdoor IP camera deployments, pair the mount decision with proper PoE power planning to ensure your switch and cabling can reach the pole location. Cable runs to pole-mounted cameras often exceed typical in-building distances; budget for cabling loss and voltage drop if the pole is more than 100 meters from your PoE switch.
Installation Essentials
Before ordering, measure the target pole or pipe outer diameter and confirm it falls within the mount's clamping range. Poles that are too small or too large will not clamp securely. Once mounted, the camera hangs from the clamp assembly, so ensure the pole itself is vertical and stable—a leaning or flexing pole will transmit vibration and drift to the camera, degrading image quality and focusing consistency. Wind loading is a critical factor; poles in high-wind zones (coastal, exposed fields, elevated structures) require structural engineering verification to confirm the combined load is safe.
Warranty & Support
The mount is backed by a 1-year manufacturer warranty and supported through Pelco's global service network and authorized distributor channels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What pole diameters does the SRXV-PLM support?
A: The mount clamps to cylindrical poles and pipes. Verify the specific diameter range by consulting the product datasheet before installation—incorrect sizing will result in loose or non-functional clamping.
Q: Can the SRXV-PLM accommodate both dome and bullet cameras?
A: Yes. The universal design accepts both form factors, eliminating the need for separate mount SKUs in mixed deployments.
Q: Is the SRXV-PLM NDAA Section 889 compliant?
A: Yes. The mount meets NDAA Section 889 compliance requirements, streamlining procurement for federal and government contractor installations.
Q: What structural considerations apply to pole-mounted cameras?
A: Pole-mounted cameras experience higher wind and vibration loads than wall or ceiling mounts. Verify the pole's structural rating to support the combined weight of the mount, camera, and lens under your site's expected wind conditions. Failure to do so risks equipment failure and safety hazards.
Q: Can I use the SRXV-PLM with Sarix Value 2 cameras?
A: No. Sarix Value 2 pole installations require the SRXV2-PLMT-1001 adapter instead. Using the wrong mount may result in incompatibility or unsafe mounting.
Q: What warranty is included?
A: The SRXV-PLM is backed by a 1-year manufacturer warranty and supported by Pelco's global service network.

The SRXV-PLM solves a real problem on perimeter and parking lot installs: not every site has suitable wall or ceiling anchor points, and running cable through masonry or steel can be slow and expensive. This universal pole mount for Sarix Value cameras lets you lean on existing infrastructure—light poles, fence posts, dedicated camera masts—without structural modification. The key trade-off is wind loading; a pole-mounted camera sees 3–5× the lateral force of a wall-mounted unit, so you cannot skip the structural engineering step.
Technical Highlights:
- Form-factor agility: Single SKU for dome and bullet cameras cuts procurement overhead and spare parts overhead when you're managing a mixed fleet across multiple sites.
- NDAA Section 889 pre-certification: Eliminates secondary compliance review and accelerates federal contract awards—a real time-saver on government bids.
- Pole clamping design: No drilling, no anchors, no masonry epoxy needed; clamps engage and lock without penetrations. Fast field installation, zero structural damage to the pole itself.
Deployment Considerations:
- Wind and structural loading is non-negotiable: Poles in exposed, high-wind zones (coastal, rooftop, elevated grounds) need third-party verification that the pole can safely carry the combined dead load of the mount, camera, and lens, plus dynamic wind forces. A pole that flexes or sways transmits vibration into the camera and degrades image sharpness; failure to verify creates liability and equipment loss.
- Diameter clamping tolerance is tight: Poles or pipes outside the mount's designed diameter range will not clamp securely. Measure before you buy; a loose mount is useless and unsafe.
- Cable routing to a distant pole requires power planning: Runs beyond 100 meters from your PoE switch invite voltage drop and cabling loss. Budget for Cat6A or run a parallel power trunk if the distance is extreme.
The SRXV-PLM is the right choice for perimeter fencing, gate entry, and parking lot coverage where a dedicated mast or existing pole is available and structurally sound. Skip this if your site demands wall or ceiling mounting only, or if pole stability cannot be independently verified.
