Hikvision DS-1281ZJ-M Inclined Ceiling Mount Bracket to suit HIK-2CD2355 Series Cameras

Product SKU: DS-1281ZJ-M

Product Overview

The Hikvision DS-1281ZJ-M is a white inclined ceiling mount bracket designed for compatible Hikvision dome and turret cameras, including HIK-2CD2355 Series installations where the camera requires an angled mounting base. Its inclined profile helps correct the camera position when a conventional flat mounting arrangement would not provide the desired viewing angle. Manufactured from aluminium alloy with a surface spray treatment, the bracket incorporates side and bottom cable outlets and is suitable for indoor and outdoor installations when the required waterproof rubber is fitted. Measuring approximately Ø157 × 165.5 × 60 mm and weighing 586 g, the DS-1281ZJ-M supports a maximum load of 4.5 kg. It provides a practical way to achieve a cleaner, purpose-built mounting arrangement without improvising with generic spacers or brackets.

Key Capabilities

Best For

• HIK-2CD2355 Series Cameras: Suitable where a compatible camera in this series requires an inclined mounting position.
• Angled Camera Installations: Useful where a standard flat camera base would not provide the preferred viewing direction.
• Commercial CCTV Projects: Provides a purpose-built mounting accessory for supported Hikvision turret and dome camera installations.
• Indoor and Outdoor Sites: Can be used internally or externally when the outdoor installation includes the required waterproof rubber and appropriate sealing.

Why Choose the DS-1281ZJ-M

The DS-1281ZJ-M solves a specific installation problem: positioning a compatible Hikvision camera at an angle without relying on improvised spacers or generic mounting hardware. Its aluminium-alloy construction, dedicated cable outlets and 4.5 kg load capacity make it a more controlled solution for supported installations, while the approximately 60 mm mounting depth provides useful separation between the camera and mounting surface. Available through Security Wholesalers, the DS-1281ZJ-M is particularly useful with compatible HIK-2CD2355 Series cameras where the required scene cannot be framed correctly from a conventional flat mount. Camera compatibility and mounting-surface strength should still be checked before installation.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

Ideal Use Cases

Choosing the Right Model

• Choose this model if: Your compatible HIK-2CD2355 Series or other supported Hikvision camera requires the DS-1281ZJ-M inclined mounting bracket.
• Choose a standard junction box if: The camera only needs additional cable-management space and does not require an inclined mounting angle.
• Check the mounting structure if: The surface is lightweight or non-structural, as Hikvision requires support for more than three times the combined camera and bracket weight.

FAQs

1. What is the Hikvision DS-1281ZJ-M used for?
   The DS-1281ZJ-M is an inclined mounting bracket for compatible Hikvision dome and turret cameras. It provides an angled camera base where the required view cannot be achieved conveniently from a standard flat mounting position. The bracket also provides side and bottom cable outlets, helping keep the installation organised while positioning the camera at the required angle.
2. Is the DS-1281ZJ-M suitable for HIK-2CD2355 Series cameras?
   Yes, the DS-1281ZJ-M is suitable for compatible HIK-2CD2355 Series installations. The exact camera variant should still be checked before purchase because Hikvision uses different accessory patterns across closely related camera housings. Confirming the complete model number before drilling helps avoid selecting a bracket that is physically similar but uses a different mounting interface.
3. What are the dimensions of the DS-1281ZJ-M?
   The DS-1281ZJ-M measures approximately Ø157 mm × 165.5 mm × 60 mm and weighs about 586 g. These dimensions refer to the mounting bracket itself, so additional clearance should be allowed for the camera body, network cabling and suitable installation fixings when planning the finished mounting position.
4. What is the maximum load capacity of the DS-1281ZJ-M?
   The DS-1281ZJ-M has a maximum stated load capacity of 4.5 kg. Hikvision also specifies that the supporting surface should be capable of carrying more than three times the combined weight of the camera and mounting bracket. This makes the mounting substrate and fixing method important parts of installation planning.
5. Can the DS-1281ZJ-M be used outdoors?
   Yes. The DS-1281ZJ-M is specified for both indoor and outdoor conditions. Hikvision requires waterproof rubber for outdoor applications, and the cable entry and mounting surface should also be sealed appropriately. For installations supplied through Security Wholesalers, outdoor sealing should be considered as part of the complete camera and bracket installation rather than relying on the bracket alone.
6. What material is the DS-1281ZJ-M made from?
   The DS-1281ZJ-M is manufactured from aluminium alloy with a surface spray treatment and is finished in Hikvision White. The metal construction provides a rigid angled mounting base for supported cameras while keeping the bracket relatively compact at approximately 586 g.
7. Does the DS-1281ZJ-M fit every Hikvision turret camera?
   No. The DS-1281ZJ-M is designed for selected compatible Hikvision dome and turret cameras and should not be assumed to fit every model. Compatibility varies by camera housing and mounting pattern, so the exact camera model should be checked before ordering, particularly when the bracket is being matched to an existing installation.
