Sound Control Technologies RCS-EE4 – Sheetrock Ceiling Mount for Poly EagleEye IV

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RCS-EE4 is a sheetrock ceiling camera mount engineered for the Poly EagleEye IV camera in commercial video conferencing installations. Part of the SCT RCS Series of sheetrock ceiling mounts, it combines a recessed backbox, mounting plate, and a camera cradle shaped specifically for the EagleEye IV. The result is a clean, low-profile ceiling camera installation that keeps cabling out of sight and positions the camera at an elevated vantage point for full-room coverage.

Product Description

Ceiling-mounting a PTZ camera solves a common problem in conference room design: walls occupied by displays, whiteboards, or glass leave no good home for the camera. The RCS-EE4 recesses into a standard sheetrock (drywall) ceiling, so the Poly EagleEye IV appears to float just below the ceiling plane rather than hanging from a bulky bracket. The recessed backbox provides space to manage cable connections above the ceiling line, and the mounting plate transfers the load to the building structure for a secure installation.

The camera cradle is purpose-built for the EagleEye IV body, holding the camera firmly in place while preserving its full pan, tilt, and zoom range. AV integrators frequently pair this mount with Sound Control Technologies RemoteCam extension kits, which carry video, control, and power to a remotely mounted EagleEye IV over a single category cable — a combination that simplifies commercial deployment in larger rooms. SCT publishes PDF, CAD, and Revit drawings for the RCS Series, which makes it straightforward for AV system designers to incorporate the mount into construction documentation.

For drop-tile ceilings, see the companion RCT Series tile ceiling mounts; for solid walls, the RCM Series on-wall mounts support the same camera families.

Key Features

• Recessed Backbox — The backbox recesses into the sheetrock ceiling so cabling and connections stay hidden above the ceiling line.
• Poly EagleEye IV Camera Cradle — A purpose-shaped cradle holds the EagleEye IV securely without obstructing pan, tilt, or zoom movement.
• Low-Profile Finish — The mount presents a clean, sleek appearance that blends into the ceiling of professional meeting spaces.
• Secure Mounting Plate — The included mounting plate anchors the assembly to the structure for a stable, long-term installation.
• Extension-Kit Friendly — The design accommodates SCT RemoteCam camera-end connectivity, supporting remote camera placement up to the extension kit's rated distance.
• Design Documentation Available — Vendor-published PDF, CAD, and Revit drawings support accurate AV system design and construction coordination.

Typical Applications

• Boardrooms where wall space is reserved for displays
• Conference rooms requiring elevated camera angles
• Training rooms with instructor-tracking camera placement
• All-hands rooms and multi-purpose rooms
• Government meeting spaces with clean-install requirements
• House of worship venues with sheetrock ceiling construction

Frequently Asked Questions

Which camera does the RCS-EE4 support?
The RCS-EE4 cradle is designed for the Poly EagleEye IV camera. For round-base PTZ cameras from other manufacturers, the RCS-UNI variant is the universal option.

What ceiling type is this mount for?
The RCS Series is designed for sheetrock (drywall) ceilings. If the room has a drop-tile ceiling, specify the equivalent RCT Series mount instead.

Can I use this mount with a camera extension kit?
Yes. The RCS-EE4 is commonly installed alongside Sound Control Technologies RemoteCam extension kits, which carry HDMI, control, and power to the ceiling-mounted EagleEye IV over category cable.

Does the mount affect the camera's pan/tilt/zoom range?
No. The cradle secures the camera body while leaving the EagleEye IV's motorized pan, tilt, and zoom functions unobstructed.

Is design documentation available for AV system designers?
Yes. Sound Control Technologies publishes PDF, CAD, and Revit drawings for RCS Series mounts, supporting integration into construction and AV design packages.
