Detailed specifications and benefits
The DS-1473ZJ-155 is made from aluminium alloy, chosen for its combination of light weight, strength and corrosion resistance. The surface spray finish in Hikvision Black not only delivers a clean, professional look suitable for commercial and residential installations but also adds an extra protective layer against environmental wear. Aluminium also helps reduce the risk of rust compared with some steel alternatives, extending the bracket's useful life when correctly maintained and sealed.
With overall dimensions of Ø155 × 183.5 × 240 mm and an approximate weight of 725 g, the DS-1473ZJ-155 occupies minimal space while providing a stable platform for the camera. The bracket's rated maximum load is 3 kg — enough to support most dome/mini-dome camera heads and small housings. As with all mounts, safe installation requires that the wall or surface can support at least three times the combined weight of the camera and mount; this is a common installation safety factor to protect against unexpected loads, vibrations or impact.
A standout practical feature is the removable cap for improved access during installation. This allows easy cable routing and reduces installation time, particularly where cables need to be threaded through the bracket. For outdoor use, the bracket is designed to accept waterproof rubber gaskets; when correctly installed and sealed, the DS-1473ZJ-155 can protect cable entry points from moisture and ingress, supporting long-term reliable operation in external environments.
The bracket is intended for dome and mini-dome cameras and is explicitly compatible with certain Hikvision models such as DS-2CD27*5FWD-IZS series (check datasheet for exact compatibility). Its general design makes it suitable for many third-party domes of similar dimensions, but installers should always verify camera footprint and weight before final installation.
Use cases and scenarios where the DS-1473ZJ-155 excels
For homeowners looking to mount a compact dome camera under eaves, on garage walls, or beside entryways, the DS-1473ZJ-155 offers a low-profile, discreet solution that blends into a variety of architectural styles thanks to its neutral black finish. The removable cap makes it easy for DIY installers to route cables and finish a neat, weatherproof installation.
In retail stores, small offices or reception areas, aesthetics matter nearly as much as performance. The bracket’s clean lines and black finish provide a professional appearance, while the 3 kg load capacity suits most dome cameras used in these environments. The quick access for cable routing reduces downtime during fit-outs and retrofits.
When sealed correctly with rubber gaskets and appropriate sealant, the DS-1473ZJ-155 functions as an outdoor-ready mount for small to medium dome cameras monitoring building perimeters, loading bays or car parks. Its aluminium construction helps resist corrosion in mild to moderate environmental conditions, and the recommended safety factor for wall strength makes it suitable for installations where long-term durability is required.
Systems integrators fit this bracket when a consistent look across multiple cameras is desired. Using the same mount model across a site simplifies installation, spare-part management and future maintenance. The bracket’s compatibility with many Hikvision dome models also eases planning for upgrades or replacements.
Comparisons with similar products on the market
When evaluating wall-mount brackets, installers typically compare materials, load capacity, weatherproofing, cable management features and price. Here’s how the DS-1473ZJ-155 stacks up against common alternatives:
- Plastic wall mounts:Less expensive and lighter than aluminium models, but generally less durable and more prone to UV degradation and cracking outdoors. The DS-1473ZJ-155’s aluminium body offers superior longevity and a premium finish.
- Steel mounts:Steel brackets can provide higher load ratings, but they are heavier and may require coatings to prevent rust. Aluminium provides a good balance of strength and corrosion resistance without significant weight penalties.
- Integrated junction mounts with larger back boxes:These provide more internal space for connectors and terminal blocks, useful for complex installations. The DS-1473ZJ-155 focuses on a compact profile and practical cable access via its removable cap, which suits many installations where large internal volume is unnecessary.
- Other Hikvision mounts:Hikvision offers a range of camera mounts for different camera sizes and use cases. The DS-1473ZJ-155 is positioned as a compact option for dome/mini-dome cameras; installers choosing between models should consider camera size, required ingress protection and the amount of cable and connector space needed.
In terms of cost, the DS-1473ZJ-155 occupies a competitive middle ground. With a suggested retail price of approximately 29.99 (cost price 22.81), it offers a cost-effective aluminium mount with features that often exceed basic budget mounts while remaining affordable for residential and commercial projects.
Customer feedback and typical reviews
While individual customer reviews may vary by retailer and installation context, common feedback themes from installers and end users for brackets like the DS-1473ZJ-155 include:
- Positive:Appreciated for its sturdy aluminium construction, neat black finish that matches camera housings, and the removable cap that simplifies cable routing and saves time during installation.
- Neutral/constructive:A reminder to ensure proper sealing and the use of appropriate anchor hardware—some installers note that performance outdoors depends on correct application of rubber gaskets and sealant.
- Negative (rare):Occasional comments about incompatibility when paired with unusually large third-party domes or cameras heavier than the 3 kg limit — highlighting the importance of checking camera dimensions and weight before purchase.
If you are assessing reviews, prioritize feedback from installers who used the mount in circumstances similar to your intended use (outdoor vs indoor, camera model, wall substrate) to get the most relevant insights.
