Introduction to the B‑Tech BT5910/W and its key features
The B‑Tech BT5910/W Dome Camera Pole Mount is a purpose-built ceiling and pole mounting plate designed for dome CCTV cameras. Engineered for System V installations, this compact mount attaches to the end of a Ø38 mm pole (for example B‑Tech BT5935) and provides a professional, tidy solution for suspending small-to-medium dome cameras. Key features include support for cameras up to 5 kg, an adjustable carousel to fit multiple fixing centres, integrated centre cable management, micro‑adjust grub screws for precise levelling and a safety bolt to secure the pole to the plate. The model comes in a white finish and has a camera plate diameter of approximately 144 mm.
- Supports dome cameras up to 5 kg — suitable for many common small-to-medium domes.
- Carousel accepts camera fixing centres from roughly 51 mm to 127.5 mm, covering most dome mounting patterns.
- Integrated cable routing through the centre of the mount for a neat, professional installation.
- Micro‑adjust grub screws enable fine levelling without needing to reposition the entire assembly.
- Safety bolt secures the pole to the mount for added peace of mind during operation.
Detailed specifications and benefits
Understanding the BT5910/W's specifications helps explain why it is a reliable choice for many installations. Below is a concise breakdown of the technical data and the practical benefits each item delivers.
- Maximum load:5 kg — supports most small-to-medium dome cameras and lightweight accessories.
- Camera fixing centres:51 mm – 127.5 mm — adjustable carousel accommodates common hole patterns.
- Camera plate diameter:≈ 144 mm — large enough to mount most domes while remaining unobtrusive.
- Recommended pole:Ø38 mm System V poles (e.g., BT5935) — designed to integrate with B‑Tech System V components.
- Colour:White — blends with most indoor ceilings and light-coloured environments.
- Manufacturer & model:B‑Tech BT5910 / BT5910/W;EAN:5019318304033.

Each specification translates into practical advantages during selection, installation and long-term use:
- Load capacity (5 kg):This accommodates popular dome camera models used in retail, offices and light industrial settings. Installers can confidently mount cameras without over‑engineering the support.
- Adjustable fixing centres:The carousel accepts a wide range of mounting hole patterns, reducing the need for adaptor plates or drilling bespoke patterns into the mount. That flexibility speeds up installations and reduces waste.
- Integrated cable management:Running cables through the centre of the mount keeps them hidden and protected, improving aesthetics and reducing tampering risks.
- Micro‑adjust grub screws:These allow installers to fine-tune the camera level precisely after the main mounting is complete, improving image alignment and saving time during commissioning.
- Safety bolt:Ensures the pole is securely locked to the plate, reducing the risk of accidental movement or detachment and improving compliance with site safety requirements.
Use cases and scenarios where the BT5910/W excels
The BT5910/W is particularly well suited to installations where a compact, clean finish and reliable support are required. Typical scenarios include:
- Retail environments:Supermarkets, boutiques and high-street shops where cameras need to be positioned on short poles from ceilings to get an unobstructed view while keeping cables hidden and aesthetics intact.
- Commercial premises:Offices, reception areas and meeting spaces where a clean ceiling-mounted camera solution is desirable and the cameras are within the BT5910/W’s weight limits.
- Light industrial settings:Warehouses or workshops that require elevated vantage points for cameras monitoring production lines or storage areas, where a pole-mounted dome provides better coverage than wall or corner mounts.
- Multi-purpose installations:Locations where occasional adjustments are needed — the micro‑adjust grub screws make re-levelling quick and precise, useful when ceilings settle or equipment is serviced.
- Retrofit and upgrades:When upgrading existing dome cameras to newer models with different fixing centres, the adjustable carousel reduces the need to change mounting hardware.
The BT5910/W is designed for straightforward installation by trained installers and experienced DIYers following manufacturer guidance. For safe and compliant installation, follow the B‑Tech installation guide and technical drawings, ensure the combined camera and accessories do not exceed 5 kg, secure the safety bolt and use compatible Ø38 mm System V poles. If unsure, use a qualified installer and isolate power before working on any powered equipment.
Comparisons with similar products on the market
Choosing the right mount involves comparing load capacity, compatibility, cable management, levelling options, finish and price. Here’s how the BT5910/W compares to common alternatives:
- Standard ceiling plates:Basic ceiling plates can be cheaper but often lack integrated cable routing and adjustable fixing centres. The BT5910/W’s carousel and centre cable management give it an advantage for neat installations and flexible camera compatibility.
- Universal dome adaptors:Some adaptors aim to fit every dome, but they can be bulkier or require multiple parts. The BT5910/W’s built-in adjustable carousel provides many of the same benefits with a simpler, more compact design for System V poles.
- Higher-capacity pole mounts:If you need to support heavier PTZ or larger domes, higher-capacity mounts are required. The BT5910/W targets small-to-medium domes up to 5 kg; projects needing more than this should opt for mounts with larger load ratings.
- Integrated junction box mounts:Some mounts include a junction box to house connections. The BT5910/W focuses on minimalism and discrete cable routing through the centre; where an internal junction box is required, choose a mount designed for that purpose.
Overall, the BT5910/W strikes a balanced position: more feature-rich and installation-friendly than simple plates, while being more compact and cost-effective than heavy-duty or fully boxed alternatives.
Customer feedback and reviews
There are no formal user testimonials provided within the product brief, but common feedback themes from installers and contractors who choose similar B‑Tech System V components typically include:
