Sound Control Technologies RCT-PH1 – Tile Ceiling Mount for Cisco PrecisionHD

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RCT-PH1 is a tile ceiling camera mount built for Cisco PrecisionHD 1080p 12x and 4x cameras in commercial video conferencing rooms. As part of the SCT RCT Series of T-bar drop-tile ceiling mounts, it combines a recessed backbox, mounting plate, and a camera cradle shaped for the PrecisionHD body. The mount delivers a clean, low-profile ceiling camera installation that conceals cabling and elevates the camera for full-room coverage.

Product Description

Cisco PrecisionHD cameras remain widely deployed in Cisco TelePresence and SX-series codec rooms, and ceiling placement is often the best way to capture an entire conference room without sacrificing wall space. The RCT-PH1 integrates with the T-bar grid of a suspended ceiling, recessing its backbox above the tile line so cable connections and slack stay hidden. Below the ceiling, the cradle presents the PrecisionHD camera in a finished, architectural manner rather than on an exposed bracket.

The cradle is shaped specifically for the Cisco 1080p PHD camera family (12x and 4x models), holding the camera firmly while preserving its motorized pan, tilt, and zoom travel. Integrators frequently pair this mount with Sound Control Technologies RemoteCam extension kits, which carry HDMI video, RS-232 control, and power to the remotely mounted Cisco camera over category cable — keeping the codec in the rack and the camera at the ideal vantage point.

SCT publishes design documentation for RCT Series mounts, supporting AV system designers who need drawings for construction packages. For sheetrock ceilings, the companion RCS-PH1 covers the same camera; for wall installation, see the RCM Series on-wall mounts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Cisco cameras does the RCT-PH1 support?
The cradle is designed for Cisco PrecisionHD 1080p cameras (12x and 4x models). It is not intended for the Cisco Quad Camera or PTZ 4K — SCT offers dedicated mounts for those.

Is this mount for drop-tile ceilings only?
Yes. The RCT Series is built for T-bar suspended ceilings. For sheetrock ceilings, specify the RCS-PH1 equivalent.

Can I extend the camera away from the codec?
Yes. The mount is commonly installed with Sound Control Technologies RemoteCam extension kits that carry HDMI, RS-232 control, and power to the ceiling camera over category cable.

Does the mount restrict camera movement?
No. The cradle secures the camera body while leaving the PrecisionHD's motorized pan, tilt, and zoom unobstructed.

Is design documentation available?
Yes. Sound Control Technologies publishes drawings for RCT Series mounts to support AV system design and construction documentation.
