Sound Control Technologies RC4-URM-KS – Camera Extension Project Pack with Rack Shelf and URM Wall Mount

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RC4-URM-KS is a complete RemoteCam4 project pack for integrators deploying rectangular-base PTZ cameras from multiple manufacturers over extended CAT cable runs. The RC4 platform carries HDMI video, RS-232 VISCA PTZ control, and 12V DC camera power up to 100 meters over a single CAT cable — no programming required. The -KS project pack bundles the RC4-URM extension kit with the RC-RK2 1U rack shelf and the RCM-URM on-wall camera mount, covering all hardware for a standard conference room camera extension build in one SKU.

Product Description

The RC4-URM is the multi-manufacturer variant of the RemoteCam4 camera extension platform configured for rectangular-base PTZ cameras that pair with the RCM-URM mount. The system provides a transparent, reliable link between the camera and the codec or head-end device: HDMI video, bidirectional RS-232 serial control, and 12V DC camera power all travel over one CAT cable from the equipment rack to the camera location, eliminating separate video, control, and power runs.

The -KS configuration is the full project pack for new construction and renovation work. It includes the RC4-URM extension kit (RC4-CE camera module, RC4-HE head-end module, and camera-matched cable set), the RC-RK2 rack shelf for mounting the head-end module in a standard equipment rack, and the RCM-URM on-wall mount, which positions the camera at display height while concealing the camera-end module and cabling behind the mount. Specifying the project pack as a single line item simplifies procurement and ensures the mount, shelf, and extension hardware arrive together.

Because 12V camera power is delivered over the CAT extension cable, no electrical outlet is required at the camera position. The system is manufactured in the USA and Taiwan for permanent commercial installation.

Key Features

• Multi-Manufacturer Camera Support — Configured for rectangular-base PTZ cameras from multiple manufacturers that use HDMI output and RS-232 VISCA control.
• Single-Cable Extension up to 100m — HDMI video, RS-232 control, and 12V DC camera power over one CAT cable reduces conduit fill and installation labor.
• Complete -KS Project Pack — Includes the RC4-URM extension kit, RC-RK2 1U rack shelf, and RCM-URM on-wall camera mount in one SKU.
• On-Wall Cable Concealment — The RCM-URM mount hides the camera-end module and cabling for a clean finished installation.
• No Programming Required — RS-232 VISCA control passes transparently between codec and camera for plug-and-play operation.
• Power Over CAT — 12V camera power delivered over the extension cable eliminates a power outlet at the camera location.
• Rack-Mount Head End — The RC-RK2 shelf secures the head-end module in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
• Commercial-Grade Construction — Made in the USA and Taiwan for permanent fixed installation.

Typical Applications

• Conference room with a multi-brand PTZ camera mounted at display height, away from the codec rack
• Boardroom AV system requiring concealed camera cabling and rack-mounted extension hardware
• Training room or multi-purpose room with extended camera-to-rack cable distance
• Commercial meeting space standardizing on one extension platform across mixed camera brands
• Government space requiring a tested, commercial-grade camera extension link

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the RC4-URM-KS project pack?

The -KS includes the RC4-URM extension kit, the RC-RK2 1U rack shelf for the head-end module, and the RCM-URM on-wall camera mount. The -S variant adds only the rack shelf, the -K variant adds only the wall mount, and the base RC4-URM is the extension kit alone.

Which cameras work with the RC4-URM?

The RC4-URM supports rectangular-base PTZ cameras from multiple manufacturers that use HDMI video output and RS-232 VISCA control and fit the RCM-URM mount profile. Contact Creation Networks to confirm compatibility with your specific camera model before ordering.

How does the RC4-URM differ from the RC4-UNI and RC4-USM?

All three are multi-manufacturer RC4 variants; they differ in the included cable set and the matched RCM wall mount. The URM variant pairs with the RCM-URM mount for rectangular-base cameras, while the USM variant pairs with the square-base USM mount and the UNI variant uses a universal mount. Verify the compatibility list for each SKU before specifying.

Is the CAT cable included?

No. The CAT cable between the camera-end and head-end modules is supplied by the installer. CAT5e or better is recommended, with a maximum run of 100 meters; use plenum-rated cable where required by code.

What are the warranty terms?

Contact Creation Networks for current Sound Control Technologies warranty terms and support options for the RC4 product line.
