Product Overview
For installers fitting AXIS M42 series cameras in indoor pendant configurations, the Axis TM4101 Indoor Pendant Mounting Kit provides a purpose-built solution that works with 1.5-inch NPS threaded brackets as well as 3/4-inch and M20 pipes. Designed specifically around the compact form factor of the M42 series, this kit ensures a secure, stable hang point for cameras including the M4215-LV, M4215-V, M4216-LV, M4216-V, M4218-LV, and M4218-V. Featuring a compact footprint of 146 x 129 x 56 mm and weighing just 160 grams, it adds minimal bulk to any pendant ceiling installation. It integrates directly with standard pipe threading found in commercial interiors, eliminating the need for custom fabrication or adapter workarounds. This makes it well suited to offices, retail floors, corridors, and other indoor environments where cameras need to hang at a fixed height rather than mount flush to a ceiling surface.
Key Capabilities
Multi-Thread Pipe Compatibility
Accepts 1.5-inch NPS threaded brackets as well as 3/4-inch and M20 pipes, giving installers flexibility to work with the pipe sizing already present on-site without sourcing additional adapters.
M42 Series Specific Fit
Engineered to match the small form factor of the AXIS M42 series, this kit supports M4215-LV, M4215-V, M4216-LV, M4216-V, M4218-LV, and M4218-V cameras, ensuring a mechanically correct mount without modification.
Lightweight Low-Profile Build
At 160 grams and measuring 146 x 129 x 56 mm, the TM4101 adds negligible weight and bulk to a pendant installation, keeping the finished assembly tidy in customer-facing indoor environments.
3-Year Axis Warranty Coverage
Backed by Axis Communications’ standard 3-year warranty, the TM4101 is covered as part of the Axis accessory ecosystem, giving installers and end users confidence in long-term product support.
Best For
- Pendant Ceiling Installations: Where flush surface mounting is not suitable and cameras need to hang at a fixed height from an existing pipe or bracket.
- Commercial Indoor Environments: Offices, retail floors, and corridors where a tidy, stable pendant mount is required for AXIS M42 series cameras.
- Mixed Pipe Threading Sites: Installations where on-site pipe work uses either 3/4-inch, M20, or 1.5-inch NPS threading, removing the need for separate pipe adapters.
Why Choose the Axis TM4101
The Axis TM4101 is a mounting accessory built exclusively for the AXIS M42 series, which means it is dimensioned and threaded to work correctly with these cameras rather than being a generic universal bracket. Where a standard third-party pendant arm may require drilling, shimming, or adapter fittings to accommodate the M42 body, the TM4101 fits as intended and supports the camera’s weight and cable routing without compromise. The compatibility with three distinct pipe thread standards – 1.5-inch NPS, 3/4-inch, and M20 – means a single kit covers most commercial interior pipe configurations. At 160 grams, it does not introduce structural load concerns on lightweight ceiling conduit. Available through Security Wholesalers, the TM4101 is the straightforward choice for any AXIS M42 series pendant deployment where a manufacturer-approved mount is preferred over field-improvised solutions.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Confirm your on-site pipe thread standard before ordering. The TM4101 supports 1.5-inch NPS, 3/4-inch, and M20 threading, covering most Australian commercial installations. If your site uses a different pipe sizing or you are mounting to a surface rather than hanging from a pipe, a different Axis mounting accessory from the M42 series range will be required. This kit is strictly for indoor pendant use and is not rated for outdoor environments.

Ideal Use Cases
Open Plan Office Coverage
In offices with exposed ceiling services or pipe runs, the TM4101 allows M42 series cameras to hang at a consistent height, providing the camera with an unobstructed downward view across workspaces.
Retail Floor Monitoring
Retail environments with high shelving or display units benefit from pendant-mounted cameras positioned to look down aisles, and the TM4101 provides the M42 series with a stable hang point from existing ceiling conduit.
Indoor Corridor Deployment
Corridors in commercial buildings often include pipe runs suitable for pendant mounting. The TM4101’s 3/4-inch, M20, and 1.5-inch NPS compatibility means it can attach to the pipe sizing typically found in these spaces.
System Upgrades and Replacements
Where an existing AXIS M42 series camera installation requires a replacement pendant arm, the TM4101 provides the correct factory-specified mount, maintaining the integrity of the original installation design.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are installing an AXIS M4215-LV, M4215-V, M4216-LV, M4216-V, M4218-LV, or M4218-V in an indoor pendant configuration from a 1.5-inch NPS, 3/4-inch, or M20 threaded pipe or bracket.
- Choose a different model if: You need a surface ceiling mount, wall mount, or corner mount for your M42 series camera – Axis offers dedicated mounting accessories for each of these configurations. If your camera model is outside the M42 series, this kit will not be mechanically compatible.
FAQs
- Which AXIS cameras is the TM4101 compatible with?
The TM4101 is confirmed compatible with 6 cameras in the AXIS M42 series: the M4215-LV, M4215-V, M4216-LV, M4216-V, M4218-LV, and M4218-V. It is designed specifically for the compact form factor of this series and is not intended for use with cameras outside this range.
- What pipe sizes does the TM4101 accept?
The kit supports 1.5-inch NPS threaded brackets as well as 3/4-inch and M20 pipes. This covers the most common pipe thread standards found in Australian commercial indoor installations, allowing the kit to work with existing ceiling infrastructure without additional adapters in most cases.
- Can the TM4101 be used outdoors?
No. The TM4101 is specified as an indoor pendant mounting kit. It is not rated for outdoor use and should not be installed in exposed or weather-affected locations. If you require an outdoor pendant or pole mount for AXIS M42 series cameras, a separate outdoor-rated Axis mounting accessory is required.
- How much does the TM4101 weigh and how large is it?
The TM4101 weighs 160 grams and measures 146 x 129 x 56 mm. Its light weight means it places minimal load on ceiling pipe work, which is a practical consideration when mounting to lightweight conduit runs in office or retail fit-outs.
- What warranty does the TM4101 carry?
The TM4101 is covered by Axis Communications’ standard 3-year warranty. This aligns with the warranty coverage offered on Axis cameras, meaning both the camera and mount are covered under consistent terms when purchased as part of an Axis installation. The TM4101 is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the Axis accessories range.
