Sound Control Technologies RCT-UNI – Tile Ceiling Mount for 1/4-20 Cameras

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RCT-UNI is a universal tile ceiling camera mount for PTZ cameras that accept a standard 1/4-20 mounting thread. Part of the SCT RCT Series of T-bar drop-tile ceiling mounts, it pairs a recessed backbox with a mounting plate and a customizable camera cradle to hold the camera securely just below the ceiling plane. It gives AV integrators a clean, low-profile way to ceiling-mount conference room cameras in suspended-ceiling environments.

Product Description

Drop-tile ceilings are the most common ceiling construction in commercial offices, and the RCT-UNI is built specifically for them. The mount integrates with the ceiling grid (T-bar) structure, replacing the visual clutter of aftermarket brackets with a recessed, finished installation. The backbox recesses above the tile line, concealing cable connections and providing space for camera-end electronics, while the camera cradle presents the PTZ camera cleanly below the ceiling.

Because it uses the industry-standard 1/4-20 camera mounting thread, the RCT-UNI supports a wide range of round-base PTZ cameras from manufacturers such as Sony, Panasonic, Lumens, AVer, and PTZOptics — making it a flexible specification for multi-room rollouts where camera models may vary. The cradle is adjustable to accommodate different camera body profiles while preserving full pan, tilt, and zoom travel.

Integrators commonly pair RCT Series mounts with Sound Control Technologies RemoteCam extension kits, which deliver video, control, and power to the ceiling-mounted camera over category cable. SCT publishes PDF, CAD, and Revit drawings for the RCT-UNI, simplifying coordination between AV system designers and general contractors. For sheetrock ceilings, see the companion RCS Series; for wall installation, the RCM Series covers the same camera families.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cameras work with the RCT-UNI?
Any PTZ camera with a standard 1/4-20 mounting thread and round base — common models from Sony, Panasonic, Lumens, AVer, PTZOptics, and similar manufacturers. For camera-specific cradles (Poly EagleEye IV, Cisco PHD), SCT offers dedicated RCT variants.

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

Can the camera still pan, tilt, and zoom in this mount?
Yes. The cradle secures the camera base while leaving motorized movement fully unobstructed.

Does it work with camera extension kits?
Yes. RCT mounts are routinely deployed with Sound Control Technologies RemoteCam extension kits that carry video, control, and power over category cable to the ceiling position.

Is CAD/Revit documentation available?
Yes. SCT publishes PDF, CAD, and Revit drawings for the RCT-UNI to support construction documentation and AV system design.
