Secure, stable and out of sight: A smarter way to mount rooftop tech

By Jesse Sanchez.

These innovative systems offer a secure, non-invasive way to mount rooftop tech — preserving roof integrity while meeting code and performance demands.

In commercial construction, rooftop installations often present a tricky tradeoff: how to mount critical tech without compromising the roof. Anchor Products may have solved that dilemma with its Rooftop Solution™ line — specifically the Camera Mount, Light Mount and the Equipment Screen Mount.

At the core of each system is the U-Anchor™ attachment — a tested, trusted mounting point designed to be compatible with common commercial roofing materials like EPDM, TPO, PVC, asphalt and coated roofs. They’re custom-designed to match the material and brand of each specific roof, which is part of why they're approved by all major North American roofing manufacturers.

According to Anchor Products, the CAM 0530 system was tested by respected third-party engineers to meet the rigorous demands of rooftop surveillance. It’s designed to work seamlessly with any manufacturer’s camera base, providing flexible installation without sacrificing structural integrity. In terms of aesthetics and utility, the ESS 0850 screen mounting system helps conceal unsightly rooftop units, offering a cleaner skyline and an added layer of protection.

Meanwhile, the LMK 0510 Light Mount combines performance and durability with simplicity. Its use of the U-Anchor 3000™ Series means serious holding power: over 3,000 pounds in tension and 4,000 pounds in shear, according to product specs. For facilities teams and contractors looking to ensure code-compliant lighting installs with minimal hassle, this can be a game-changer.

While product specs provide the technical confidence, the bigger story lies in the shift toward roof-friendly securement solutions. The AP Solution™ line answers growing demand for safer, warranty-preserving installations — especially in sectors like education, healthcare and logistics, where surveillance and lighting are non-negotiable.
