Product Overview
For installers mounting the AXIS M5000 or AXIS M5000-G PTZ camera to an indoor ceiling, the AXIS TM5601 Conduit Back Box provides a purpose-built housing solution that enables clean, professional cable routing through conduit. Designed specifically to mate with the M5000 camera family, this back box features a side conduit entry with an included conduit cover, allowing cabling to be routed neatly within the ceiling structure rather than exposed along the surface. Finished in white to blend with standard indoor ceiling environments, it ships with 3 TX20 screws for a secure and complete installation. At 276 x 266 x 47 mm and 460 grams, the TM5601 is a solid, correctly dimensioned solution for ceiling conduit installations, removing the need to adapt generic mounting hardware to a camera that demands precise fitment.
Key Capabilities
Dedicated Camera Compatibility
Engineered exclusively for the AXIS M5000 and AXIS M5000-G PTZ cameras, the TM5601 ensures a correct mechanical fit and alignment without the need for adaptors or modification, reducing installation risk on ceiling-mounted PTZ deployments.
Side Conduit Entry with Cover
The conduit side entry allows cabling to run through conduit directly into the back box from the ceiling void, keeping wiring concealed and compliant with installations that require conduit infrastructure. The included conduit cover provides a tidy finish at the entry point.
Indoor Ceiling-Ready Design
Finished in white and profiled for overhead ceiling mounting, the TM5601 suits commercial indoor environments such as offices, lobbies, and retail spaces where a clean, unobtrusive ceiling installation is required for the AXIS M5000 camera series.
Hardware Included for Complete Installation
The box ships with 3 TX20 screws, providing the fastening hardware needed to complete the ceiling mount without sourcing additional components. This reduces on-site delays and ensures the correct fixings are always used with the intended camera.
Best For
- Conduit Ceiling Installations: Sites where cabling must be routed through conduit infrastructure benefit directly from the TM5601’s side conduit entry, which accepts conduit runs cleanly from within the ceiling void.
- AXIS M5000 and M5000-G Deployments: Any project specifying either the AXIS M5000 or AXIS M5000-G for indoor ceiling-mounted PTZ coverage requires a compatible back box, and the TM5601 is the purpose-built solution for this exact camera family.
- Commercial Indoor Environments: Offices, hotel lobbies, retail floors, and similar indoor spaces where a white ceiling-mounted finish integrates with the room aesthetic and cable management needs to be tidy and concealed.
Why Choose the AXIS TM5601 Conduit Back Box
The TM5601 is not a universal mounting bracket – it is a camera-specific conduit back box built to the dimensional and mechanical requirements of the AXIS M5000 and AXIS M5000-G. Using a generic back box with these cameras risks misalignment, exposed cabling, or an installation that does not meet the aesthetic and structural expectations of a commercial indoor PTZ project. The TM5601 resolves this by providing a confirmed-fit housing with integrated side conduit entry, a conduit cover, and the correct TX20 screws in the box. At 276 x 266 x 47 mm, its profile is sized specifically for this camera family, keeping the ceiling installation compact and correctly supported. Available through Security Wholesalers, the TM5601 is the straightforward way to complete an AXIS M5000 ceiling conduit installation correctly from the outset.
Buyer Decision Tips
Confirm Camera Model Before Ordering: The TM5601 is designed exclusively for the AXIS M5000 and AXIS M5000-G. If your project uses a different AXIS PTZ or dome model, this back box will not be a correct fit. Check your camera model number against the confirmed compatibility list before purchasing to avoid returns or on-site delays.

Ideal Use Cases
Corporate Office Lobbies
Indoor ceiling-mounted PTZ cameras in reception and lobby areas benefit from the TM5601’s white finish and concealed conduit cabling, maintaining a professional appearance while routing network and power cabling cleanly through the ceiling structure.
Retail Floors and Shopping Centres
Large retail environments using the AXIS M5000 for wide-area PTZ coverage require a secure ceiling mount with tidy cabling. The TM5601 delivers a correctly fitted solution that keeps conduit runs contained within the ceiling void above the sales floor.
Hospitality and Hotel Venues
Hotels and hospitality venues demand neat, unobtrusive security installations. Ceiling mounting the AXIS M5000-G with the TM5601 back box ensures cabling is fully concealed and the white housing integrates with standard interior ceiling finishes.
Educational Facilities
Schools and universities deploying the AXIS M5000 for indoor common area monitoring benefit from the TM5601’s secure ceiling mounting profile and conduit entry, which suits buildings with structured cabling runs and finished indoor ceilings.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are installing an AXIS M5000 or AXIS M5000-G on an indoor ceiling and need to route cabling through conduit infrastructure, with a white finish that suits standard commercial interior environments.
- Choose a different model if: Your project uses a different AXIS camera model outside the M5000 family, requires an outdoor-rated mounting solution, or does not use conduit cabling and would be better served by a standard surface-mount or pendant-mount accessory designed for your specific camera.
FAQs
- Which cameras is the AXIS TM5601 compatible with?
The TM5601 is confirmed compatible with the AXIS M5000 and AXIS M5000-G PTZ cameras only. It is a camera-specific mounting accessory and is not designed for use with other AXIS camera models. Always verify your camera model number before ordering to confirm compatibility.
- Is this back box suitable for outdoor installations?
No. The AXIS TM5601 is specified for indoor ceiling mount applications only. No outdoor or weather resistance rating has been confirmed by Axis for this product. If your installation is in an exposed or semi-exposed outdoor environment, a different mounting solution will be required.
- Does the TM5601 include the screws needed to complete the installation?
Yes. The TM5601 ships with 3 TX20 screws as part of the package, providing the fastening hardware needed for a complete ceiling mount installation without requiring additional fixings to be sourced separately.
- How is the conduit cabling routed with this back box?
The TM5601 features a side conduit entry, which allows conduit runs to connect directly into the back box from the side rather than from above or below. A conduit cover is included to provide a finished appearance at the entry point. This suits installations where structured conduit cabling runs through the ceiling void.
