The product from Axis, type ACCS, manufacturer number 5017-051, is a specially developed mounting accessory for cameras installed in a hanging position. It serves as a mounting bracket, which is attached to 1.5-inch pipes with NPS- or NPT-threading, to securely and stably mount cameras at an elevated position. The construction is designed for indoor use and enables flexible positioning of cameras equipped with a standard tripod thread. The bracket is therefore universally applicable for all cameras supporting the common tripod thread and provides a stable mounting solution for installations on pipe systems or similar structures.

Mounting and Installation
The mounting is done on 1.5-inch pipes, which are either equipped with NPS- (National Pipe Straight) or NPT- (National Pipe Tapered) threading. These threading types are widely used in industrial and technical installations and allow for a secure mechanical connection. The bracket is directly attached to the pipe, with the exact mounting method depending on the specific pipe construction and the used threading. The connection is made via a precise thread fit, ensuring a rotation-resistant fixation. The installation requires no additional tools or components, provided the pipe structure is already in place.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The mounting bracket is specifically designed for securing hanging-mounted cameras. It enables vertical alignment of the camera, achieving an optimal surveillance angle. The construction is robust and ensures secure fixation, even in the presence of vibrations or movements in the environment. Compatibility with all cameras featuring a standard tripod thread makes the accessory universally applicable. No special adapter or additional mounting mechanism is required, as the tripod thread is directly inserted into the bracket.

Technology Explained Simply
The product uses the common tripod thread standardization (typically 1/10,2 cm ( 4 inch )-20 or 3/20,3 cm ( 8 inch )-16), which is widely adopted in camera technology worldwide. This thread allows direct camera mounting without additional adapters. The bracket itself is designed for mounting on 1.5-inch pipes, where the designation 3,8 cm ( 1,5 inch ) refers to the internal pipe diameter according to the American pipe standard (NPS) or the external thread form (NPT). The use of NPS- or NPT-threading is common in industrial and technical installations, especially in buildings with existing pipe systems.

Compatibility and Accessories
The bracket is compatible with all cameras featuring a standard tripod thread. This includes most surveillance cameras, particularly models from Axis, but also cameras from other manufacturers using the same thread. Additionally, various mounting accessories are available for complementary use, such as wall brackets (e.g. T91E61, T91D61, TP3004-E), ceiling brackets (e.g. T91B63, T91B50, T91B51), or railing brackets (T91D62). These enable alternative mounting options, depending on whether the camera is to be mounted on a wall, ceiling, or railing. Another suitable accessory is the 3,8 cm ( 1,5 inch ) Coupler NPS/NPT MALE, used for connecting pipe sections or adapting the mounting geometry.

The bracket itself is not connected to these accessories, but serves as an independent mounting element.

Advantages in Operation
The use of the mounting bracket enables flexible and stable installation of surveillance cameras on existing pipe systems. This reduces the need for additional mounting elements or wall installations, which often require extra drilling or anchoring. The installation is quick and simple, as the bracket is directly attached to the pipe. Universal compatibility with standard tripod threads ensures broad applicability, regardless of the camera manufacturer. The robust construction guarantees long service life and reliable performance even in industrial or technical environments.

Areas of Application
The accessory is particularly suitable for installations in indoor environments where cameras are to be mounted on existing pipe systems. This includes, for example, production halls, warehouses, office buildings, or technical rooms where pipe systems are already present. The bracket is suitable for all applications requiring hanging camera mounting to achieve an optimal surveillance angle. Its use on 1.5-inch pipes makes it especially suitable for industrial or technical environments where such pipe systems are common.
