Detailed specifications and benefits
Understanding the product specifications helps you evaluate whether the DS-1471ZJ-155 is right for your installation. The mount is built from ADC12 aluminium alloy, which delivers a favourable strength-to-weight ratio and good resistance to corrosion when treated. The surface spray finish provides an additional protective layer, extending service life in exposed environments.
Key technical specifications include:
- Model:DS-1471ZJ-155
- Material:Aluminium alloy (ADC12)
- Colour:Hikvision White
- Dimensions:Ø155 mm × 565 mm (approx)
- Weight:Datasheet lists approx. 650 g; some sources show ~1,400 g — confirm with manufacturer/distributor if weight is critical.
- Maximum load:3 kg
- Finish:Surface spray, corrosion-resistant
- Cable gland:Yes — waterproof for through-wiring
- Mounting:Pendant/ceiling mount; mount on flat surface; use waterproof rubber gasket for outdoor installations
Benefits derived from these specifications include:
- Neat cable management— the waterproof cable gland allows cables to pass through the mount cleanly and helps maintain a weatherproof seal, reducing the risk of water ingress around cable entries.
- Corrosion resistance— suitable for outdoor exposures where moisture or occasional ingress is a concern, thanks to both the base material and surface treatment.
- Visual consistency— the Hikvision White finish matches Hikvision dome housings and helps create a cohesive appearance across multi-camera systems.
- Ease of use— straightforward pendant mounting on flat ceilings simplifies installation in retail spaces, lobbies and other ceiling-mounted use cases.
Installation and safety considerations
Safe, reliable installation is essential. The datasheet advises that the mounting surface must support at least three times the combined weight of the camera and mount. This safety factor helps account for dynamic loads, vibration and potential impacts. Confirm the mechanical hole pattern and M4 fastener compatibility with your specific camera model before fitting — while the DS-1471ZJ-155 is designed for many Hikvision domes, mechanical fit must always be verified.
There is a noted discrepancy in reported product weight: Hikvision datasheet lists approx. 650 g, while other pages indicate around 1,400 g. If weight affects shipping, structural calculations or mounting specification, verify the correct figure with Hikvision or your authorised distributor. Also confirm UKCA/CE compliance and warranty or lead-time details with your supplier before purchase, as these factors vary by region and distribution channel.
Use cases and scenarios where the DS-1471ZJ-155 excels
The pendant mount is designed for versatile use across multiple environments. Typical scenarios where it is particularly well-suited include:
- Retail stores and shopping centres— ceiling-mounted domes can be positioned on pendant mounts above aisles or the sales floor to provide unobstructed 360° or PTZ views while maintaining a low profile.
- Office lobbies and reception areas— the clean white finish and compact tube design provide an unobtrusive mounting solution that blends with modern interiors.
- Warehouses and light industrial spaces— corrosion-resistant finish and secure wiring make it suitable for indoor zones with occasional moisture or dust; ensure camera weight remains within the 3 kg limit.
- Hospitality and public venues— for hotels, restaurants and venues where aesthetics matter, matching Hikvision housings with a white pendant can preserve a consistent look.
- Outdoor covered areas— when mounted under overhangs, canopies or soffits and used with the rubber gasket, the waterproof gland adds protection against rain-driven moisture.
Comparisons with similar products
When selecting a pendant mount, installers commonly compare factors such as material, load capacity, waterproofing, aesthetics and price. Here’s how the DS-1471ZJ-155 typically stacks up versus common alternatives:
- Vs generic plastic mounts: Aluminium construction is stronger and more durable than plastic alternatives. Plastic mounts may be cheaper but are less resistant to UV and impact and generally have lower load ratings.
- Vs steel pendant mounts: Steel offers excellent strength but is heavier and may require more corrosion protection in outdoor settings. The aluminium DS-1471ZJ-155 provides a balance of light weight and corrosion resistance without the rust risk of plain steel.
- Vs junction boxes or wall/ corner mounts: Pendant mounts are ideal for ceiling installations and central coverage. Junction boxes and corner mounts are better for wall-mounted deployments or when cameras must be positioned at specific angles rather than suspended.
- Vs higher-capacity industrial mounts: For cameras and housings above 3 kg, industrial mounts with larger profiles and higher rated capacities are required. The DS-1471ZJ-155 is intended for small- to medium-sized domes rather than heavy PTZs or fully-enclosed thermal housings.
Price-wise, the DS-1471ZJ-155 is positioned as an affordable branded option: suggested price 44.99. That generally places it above the cheapest unbranded plastic mounts but below heavy-duty industrial mounts. The Hikvision branding, finish and compatibility with Hikvision dome housings add value for integrators standardising on Hikvision systems.
Customer impressions and typical feedback
Independent installers and integrators who choose pendant mounts like the DS-1471ZJ-155 often comment on several recurring themes:
- Positive: neat wiring and finish— the built-in cable gland and Hikvision White finish are frequently noted as helpful for clean-looking installations.
- Positive: easy to install— when mechanical fit is confirmed, installers appreciate the straightforward ceiling-mount workflow and reduced need for separate junction boxes.
- Constructive: weight verification— some customers urge confirmation of the actual product weight due to mixed reporting across datasheet pages, especially where shipping costs or bracket support ratings are sensitive to mass.
- Constructive: compatibility checks— as with any accessory, purchasers stress verifying hole patterns and fastener compatibility before ordering to avoid returns.
Note: These points reflect typical installer feedback for this class of product. For formal, named testimonials or verified reviews, consult distributor pages or review sites where customers post specific installation experiences for the DS-1471ZJ-155.
Conclusion — why choose the DS-1471ZJ-155?
TheHikvision DS-1471ZJ-155pendant mount is a well-rounded solution for anyone deploying dome cameras from Hikvision or similarly sized models. It combines aluminium alloy construction with a corrosion-resistant finish, waterproof cable management and a compact, professional look. For indoor retail, office and light industrial environments — and for outdoor covered sites when installed with the recommended rubber gasket — it provides a reliable, neat mounting option at an attractive price point.
Before purchasing, verify mechanical fit and confirm the correct product weight and any regional compliance or warranty details with your authorised supplier. If your camera's combined weight exceeds the 3 kg rating, or if you need heavy-duty environmental protection, consider a higher-capacity or purpose-built industrial bracket. Otherwise, for typical dome camera installations where aesthetics, neat wiring and corrosion resistance are priorities, the DS-1471ZJ-155 is a practical and cost-effective choice.
