Sound Control Technologies RCS-UNI – Sheetrock Ceiling Mount for Round-Base PTZ Cameras

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RCS-UNI is a ceiling mount for round-base PTZ cameras in sheetrock (drywall) ceiling applications, recessing the camera into the ceiling plane for a clean, low-profile installation. As part of the SCT RCS Series of sheetrock ceiling mounts, it combines a recessed backbox, mounting plate, and a customizable camera cradle that holds the camera securely in place. Integrators specify the RCS-UNI when a conference room, training room, or lecture space calls for a ceiling camera position without a visible pole or exposed hardware.

Product Description

Ceiling camera positions deliver superior coverage in deep rooms, but pole mounts and surface boxes can clash with finished drywall ceilings. The RCS-UNI addresses this with a recessed backbox installed in the sheetrock ceiling: the mounting plate trims the opening, the customizable cradle secures the inverted PTZ camera, and cabling terminates above the ceiling inside the enclosure with nothing exposed in the room. The result is a camera that sits neatly within the ceiling line at the optimal capture position. The mount pairs naturally with SCT camera extension kits, which carry video, control, and power over a single CAT cable through the plenum back to a remote equipment rack. The vendor maintains the supported-camera list for this universal round-base model; contact your SCT representative or our sales team to confirm fit for a specific PTZ camera. For camera-specific ceiling mounting of the Cisco PrecisionHD 12x/4x, see the companion RCS-PH1; for T-bar (suspended tile) ceilings, the SCT RCT Series serves the same role.

Key Features

• Customizable Camera Cradle — The cradle adjusts to hold round-base PTZ cameras securely in the inverted position.
• Recessed, Low-Profile Design — The camera sits within the ceiling plane for a clean, finished appearance.
• Concealed Cable Management — Video, control, and power cabling terminate inside the backbox above the ceiling.
• Extension-Kit Friendly — Works with SCT camera extension kits for single-CAT-cable runs through the plenum to the rack.
• Documented for Design — Vendor PDF, CAD, and Revit drawings support coordination with ceiling trades.

How is the camera held in place?
A customizable cradle inside the recessed backbox secures the inverted camera, with the mounting plate trimming the ceiling opening.

Can cabling run back to a remote rack?
Yes. Pair the mount with an SCT camera extension kit to carry video, control, and power over a single CAT cable through the plenum up to 100 meters.
