How to corner mount a CCTV security camera

In one of our recent blog post we went over how to install a security camera to a pole . One of our good installation contractors wanted to know if we offered a mount for the corner of a building.

For corner mounting you'll want the Arlington Industries part number 8161CB. This is a non-metallic mount and UV rated for long outdoor life. You can also install these mounts for indoor applications and excellent for dry, damp or wet locations. If your camera diameter is smaller then 4.5 inches use Arlington's SC5 CAM-KIT on top of the box.

Let's get a better look at this mount from our YouTube Channel .


After watching the video you found out you can also mount floodlights, electrical accessories or just about anything with the screw pattern of a standard 4 inch fixture box.

Corner and pole mounting are some of the most common installation problems and with these options for this kind of installation Arlington Industries nailed it. Order the 8161CB online.

Any other security camera installation questions? Comment below.

Thanks.

How to Pole Mount Security Cameras and Flood Lights

Over the past eight years of selling security cameras and providing surveillance solutions, one of the most common problems in executing a correct and timely installation is pole mounting your new cameras.

There is still a disconnect on this issue from the manufactures end. They only provide camera installation mounts for the most common camera location installations. Recently a camera manufacture mentioned to me,

"Because locations on, in or around a facility can very so much it's hard to invest in a design for every conceivable location the end user wants for their camera. We're just concerned that our ROI for many different mounts would take forever." - Undisclosed Camera Manufacture

I understand their point of view but certain installation locations at the end users facility have been a common enough problem over the past 5 years to the point they should offer a solution. This seems to be a niche to where a manufacture can offer a solution to the end user and may help to be a preferred camera brand for the installation contractor.

A common installation problem - Pole Mounting! (Check out Blog post for Corner Mounting).

Because this has been such a common problem a company who manufactures no cameras and sells no cameras has identified this as excellent opportunity in providing another installation solution to their contractor customers.

Arlington Industries offers a pole mount box that fits on a rigid pipe that is three to six inches in diameter. Not only can you attach a security camera but you can install detectors, electrical accessories, flood lights and so on.

 

The Arlington 8161PM will hold up to 50 pounds and is made of a non-metallic, UV rated material for long outdoor life. Excellent for interior, exterior, dry, damp or wet locations.

I've been asked for a pole mount solution for a long time and finally, I can offer a solution that also works with many different brands of cameras.

How To Install Drywall Rings - MPLS, MP1P, LV1

This video will show you how to install the 3 most common drywall rings out on the market. The first one is the Erico Caddy MP1P, which is a white plastic mud ring that uses no screws. Another nice feature is the 4 points on the front of the plate, allowing you to mark the drywall without the use of a pencil. The second demonstration is for the Arlington Industries LV1. This is also a plastic mud ring that has 2 pre-mounted screws. Simply hold the plastic piece in place and tighten with a screwdriver or drill. Lastly, we show you how to install the Erico Caddy MPLS mud ring. This is a metal ring that has 2 tabs in the center. Simply align the MPLS in the drywall hole, fold the 2 tabs into the hole and screw in the included screws. The MPLS drywall ring will give you a very snug, tight fit, making this our most popular mud ring. The Arlington LV1 has been picking up in popularity though, due to the point Mercy brings up in the video. The MPLS has sharp screws that can cause cuts to your hand, or damage to the cable, while the LV1 has blunt ended screws.
