- Options and variants:/IC internal cabling, cladding brackets, painted finishes, corner stand-offs, capped top, and other bespoke variations.
- Robust structural performance:High-tensile steel construction and precise bracket spacing ensure the pole can sustain recommended loads reliably, which is crucial for PTZ cameras that introduce dynamic forces during movement.
- Corrosion resistance:Hot-dip galvanising provides long-term protection in outdoor environments. Optional paint-over galvanise allows aesthetic integration with building facades or corporate colours.
- Neat, professional installs:The M25 conduit exit and optional internal cabling (/IC) let installers hide cables within the pole and building fabric, reducing tampering risk and improving appearance.
- Flexible mounting:The industry-standard PTZ plate pattern supports a wide range of PTZ heads and accessories, simplifying hardware compatibility and retrofits.
- Compact footprint:A 150 mm stand-off keeps the assembly close to the wall for minimal visual impact while still providing the desired elevation.
Use cases and scenarios where the ACP4/150 excels
The ACP4/150 is designed for environments where elevated, compact mounting is needed without the bulk of pole mounts or large mast structures. Typical applications include:
- Surveillance of loading bays, service yards and external entrances where cameras need an elevated viewpoint but must remain close to building architecture.
- Mounting PTZ cameras for wide-area monitoring while keeping the installation discreet to maintain storefront aesthetics.
- Robust support for cameras and LED floodlights above roofs or walls in industrial yards where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are priorities.
- Internal cabling option (/IC) aids secure routing in harsh or theft-prone locations.
- Monitoring of vehicle access points, perimeter areas and pedestrian zones where a compact stand-off and elevated vantage help reduce blind spots.
- Options such as painted finishes allow municipal colours or anti-graffiti coatings where required.
Comparisons with similar products on the market
When specifying a wall-mounted pole, buyers typically weigh height, stand-off, load capacity, finish and compatibility against alternatives. The ACP4/150 stands out in several ways:
- Versus longer stand-off wall poles:Longer stand-offs provide more clearance but increase cantilever loads and visual impact. The ACP4/150’s 150 mm stand-off is ideal where a low profile is preferred while still achieving useful elevation.
- Versus shorter poles or simple brackets:Simple wall brackets may lack the structural stiffness and integrated cable routing that the ACP4/150 offers. For PTZ cameras or heavier fixtures that move, a full pole with engineered mount spacing is a safer choice.
- Versus freestanding poles or masts:Freestanding poles are more flexible in placement but require ground works and larger foundations. Wall-mounted options like the ACP4/150 reduce civil works and can be more cost-effective when suitable wall structures are available.
- Versus stainless-only poles:Stainless steel provides excellent corrosion resistance but at a higher cost. Hot-dip galvanised finish provides strong, long-lasting protection at a competitive price, with paint-over galvanise available for aesthetics.
Ultimately, the ACP4/150 is a strong choice where a balance of strength, corrosion protection and a compact profile is required. Its PTZ-compatible plate and M25 conduit provision give it an edge over simpler bracket solutions for modern CCTV systems.
Customer feedback and installer notes
While specific customer testimonials vary by project, common feedback themes from installers and system integrators who select poles like the ACP4/150 include:
- Reliability:Installers note that hot-dip galvanised steel poles hold up well in exposed sites and require minimal maintenance over years of service.
- Ease of installation:The pre-drilled PTZ plate and standardised fixing patterns simplify mounting cameras and reduce onsite modification time. The M25 conduit exit is appreciated for tidy cable management.
- Flexibility:Options such as internal cabling and painted finishes are often cited as helpful for meeting client requirements without needing custom builds.
- Practical limitations:Installers remind specifiers to confirm wall substrate strength and to use appropriate M10 anchor fixings (not supplied). For highly exposed or wind-loaded sites, professional load calculations and potentially larger stand-offs or alternative mount types may be recommended.
If you require formal reviews or case studies specific to a vertical sector, contacting the supplier for project references or looking for datasheet-linked case studies (e.g., on the manufacturer or Altron product page) is advised.
Installation guidance and purchasing considerations
When buying and installing the ACP4/150, consider the following practical points:
- Anchor fixings:Use site-appropriate M10 anchors; these are not supplied with the pole. Choose anchors suitable for the wall substrate (masonry, concrete or steelwork) and environment.
- Compliance and certification:Confirm CE/UKCA markings and any project-specific certifications with the manufacturer or supplier if required by local regulations.
- Load & wind calculations:Verify the recommended headload of 25 kg (0.25 m²) against the mass and wind profile of the intended camera and any accessories. Seek a structural assessment if doubts exist.
- Cabling:Use the M25 conduit exit for disciplined cable routing; consider the internal cabling (/IC) option if you want cables fully contained within the pole and building fabric.
- Variants:If aesthetics or mounting particulars matter, request painted finishes, cladding brackets or corner stand-offs to match installation needs.
- Cost considerations:At a suggested price of 325.00 (supplier suggested), the ACP4/150 targets professional installers seeking a durable, mid-range solution. The manufacturer cost price (indicative) is 256.50 — pricing may vary with options, finishes and order quantities.
Conclusion: Why the ACP4/150 is a great choice
The ACP4/150 6.0m Fixed Wall-Mount Pole is a practical, well-engineered solution for many CCTV and lighting mounting scenarios. Its combination of a compact 150 mm stand-off, ample 6.0 m height, PTZ-compatible mounting plate and hot-dip galvanised corrosion protection makes it well-suited to commercial, industrial and municipal installations where reliability and a tidy appearance are important.
For installers and system integrators, the pole offers straightforward compatibility with common PTZ heads, sensible cable management via the M25 conduit exit and useful optional extras such as internal cabling and painted finishes. While attention must be paid to anchor selection, substrate strength and headload calculations, the ACP4/150 provides a cost-effective, low-maintenance mounting platform that balances functionality and appearance — a strong choice where a compact wall-mounted pole is required.
