Mount Axis 01856-001

The AXIS TM3201 Recessed Mount is a ceiling mount accessory designed for discreet indoor installation of Axis M30 series cameras. It embeds the camera into the ceiling so that only the camera dome and a low-profile cover ring remain visible, providing a clean, low-impact appearance suitable for many indoor surveillance environments. The design supports black and white color options to match different interior styles and camera finishes. This mount is not intended for air-handling (plenum) spaces and does not support the internal microphone when used with cameras that include audio functionality.

Advantages

The recessed design reduces the camera’s visual footprint while maintaining full functionality of the camera dome, resulting in less obtrusive installations. The patent-pending single-screw ceiling attachment simplifies installation by allowing mounting without removing ceiling tiles, saving time and minimizing disruption to the ceiling structure. Durable construction provides stable support for the camera and helps keep alignment steady over time. Available in black and white finishes to integrate with common interior colour schemes.

Suitable for

• Indoor ceiling installations where a discreet, low-profile camera appearance is desired
• Retail stores, offices, hotels and public indoor spaces with suspended ceilings

How to use

Select an appropriate ceiling location that accommodates a recessed installation and is compatible with the AXIS M30 camera dimensions. Follow the mounting instructions provided by AXIS to cut or adapt the ceiling opening as required. Use the patent-pending single-screw attachment to secure the mount to the ceiling structure without removing ceiling tiles when possible. Insert and secure the camera in the recessed housing and attach the low-profile cover ring. Verify camera alignment and connections, then test the camera’s optical and network functions. Do not install the mount in plenum air-handling spaces.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, confirm compatibility with the specific AXIS M30 camera model before installation, ensure the ceiling cavity provides sufficient space and cabling access, and avoid using this mount in air-handling (plenum) environments. If the camera provides audio, plan for external microphone solutions if in-ceiling audio capture is required.
