Mounting poles explained

Steel mounting poles for cameras, equipment and automation

A mounting pole provides a dedicated support for equipment where a wall or existing structure is not in the right position. Choosing the right pole means considering what it will carry, where it will stand and how the equipment will be accessed after installation.

Equipment mounting poles

Use an equipment mounting pole to position devices at a defined height and location. Start with the equipment dimensions, weight and fixing pattern, then confirm the pole section and bracket arrangement for the installation.

For multiple devices, include every bracket and attachment in the specification.

CCTV camera poles

A dedicated camera pole allows the camera position to be planned around the required view. Camera height, obstructions, mounting offset and pole movement all need consideration when specifying the support.

Where maintenance access is a priority, consider whether a hinged camera pole suits the site layout.

Automation mounting poles

Automation equipment may need a specific mounting height or alignment with the area it monitors. Plan the pole position around the device’s operating requirements, cable route and access for adjustment.

Confirm the mounting interface with the equipment supplier before selecting brackets or plates.

Selection guide

How to choose the right mounting pole

Pole height is only one part of the specification. The equipment, its distance from the pole and the conditions at the installation site all affect the support required.

Before ordering, bring together the equipment data sheet, a site sketch and the proposed mounting arrangement. These help identify whether a listed pole matches the project or a made-to-order specification needs to be discussed.

  1. Define the working height. State the required equipment height above finished ground level and allow for the mounting bracket.
  2. List the complete equipment assembly. Include device weights, dimensions, brackets and any offset from the pole.
  3. Describe the location. Provide the site address, exposure and whether the pole will be near traffic or other equipment.
  4. Confirm the base arrangement. Identify whether the installation uses a new footing or an existing concrete base.
  5. Plan cables and servicing. Confirm cable entry requirements and how technicians will reach the equipment.

Pole dimensions alone do not establish a safe equipment load. Confirm the pole, brackets, anchors and foundation as a complete installation for the project’s loading and site conditions.

Access and maintenance

Fixed equipment poles or hinged camera poles?

Fixed mounting poles

A fixed pole supports equipment in its installed position. It can suit projects where maintenance access is already planned and the equipment does not need to be lowered with the pole.

Consider how the device will be inspected, cleaned, adjusted or replaced throughout its service life.

Hinged CCTV poles

A hinged camera pole allows the upper pole section to lower for access. This can help bring camera servicing closer to ground level where the design and site allow.

Check the lowering direction, clear space, cable allowance and operating procedure. Confirm the handling equipment and personnel needed for the selected pole.

Pole finishes, mounting brackets and base templates

Galvanised or painted finish

Hot-dip galvanised and painted finishes are shown within the AEGIS range. Confirm the available finish for the selected pole and discuss the installation environment before ordering.

If a colour is needed for visibility or a project requirement, specify it with the enquiry. Colour alone does not define the coating system.

Equipment mounting brackets

The bracket connects the device to the pole. Match the equipment’s fixing pattern, mounting orientation and required clearance to the bracket dimensions.

Check compatibility with the particular pole and device; a matching plate size alone does not confirm suitability.

Mounting base templates

A base template helps set out the anchor positions to match a pole base plate. Confirm the hole centres, orientation and anchor specification against the approved installation drawing.

A template is a set-out component. It does not replace the pole base plate or determine the footing design.

Common questions

Mounting pole FAQs

What is a mounting pole used for?

A mounting pole supports equipment at a chosen position and height. Applications include CCTV cameras and automation devices where a dedicated support is needed. The pole and its mounting hardware must suit the equipment and the installation conditions.

What height should a CCTV camera pole be?

The required height depends on the camera, lens, coverage area and image detail needed. Start with the camera supplier’s positioning requirements and check for obstructions. A taller pole is not automatically better: access, movement and the viewing angle also matter.

Can one mounting pole support more than one device?

Potentially, if the complete assembly is suitable for the pole and installation. Include the weight, dimensions and mounting position of every device and bracket when requesting a specification. Do not assume spare capacity from pole height or section size alone.

Can a bolt-down pole be installed on existing concrete?

Only where the existing concrete and anchor arrangement are suitable for the proposed loads. Concrete thickness, condition, edge distances and reinforcement may need assessment. Confirm the foundation and anchor requirements before drilling or ordering fixings.

Are brackets, anchors and base templates included?

Check the inclusions for the selected product or quotation. The range shows poles, brackets and a mounting base template as separate product listings, so confirm which components are required and which are supplied before ordering.

Can I request a made-to-order mounting pole?

AEGIS advertises made-to-order mounting and automation poles. Provide the required height, equipment details, mounting arrangement, preferred finish and quantity so the team can review your requirements. Confirm the final specification, availability and lead time with your quote.

Discuss your mounting pole requirements

Have a camera, equipment or automation project in mind? Prepare your equipment data sheet, required mounting height, site location, finish and quantity. Include a sketch or fixing dimensions if you need a particular bracket or base arrangement.
