Hikvision DS-1280ZJ-DM21(BLACK) Outdoor Junction Box Mount Bracket for Dome IP Cameras, Black

The Hikvision DS-1280ZJ-DM21(BLACK) Outdoor Junction Box Mount Bracket for Dome IP Cameras, Black (SKU DS-1280ZJ-DM21/BLACK, also listed as DS-1280ZJ-DM21-B) is a metal box that sits behind a dome camera. It holds the cable connections and gives the camera a base to mount on.

What each spec means in practice

• Aluminium alloy construction: a rigid metal housing around the connectors, giving mechanical protection.
• Black finish: matches dark camera housings, so the box and camera look like one unit.
• Bottom and side cable entry: you choose where the network and power cables come in, to suit the route they take to the camera.
• Indoor and outdoor use: suitable for both kinds of CCTV installation.
• Internal space: room for cable connectors and wiring. This helps on solid surfaces where there is little space to route cable.
• Mounting interface: aligned with the base patterns of compatible Hikvision dome cameras.

What else you need

The box does not replace the camera. You need a compatible Hikvision dome IP camera (a network camera, where IP means Internet Protocol) plus the network and power cables that camera uses.

Compatibility is with selected Hikvision dome cameras, not every model. Check that your camera's base pattern matches this mount before you order.

It suits residential, commercial and industrial CCTV systems where the cable joins need to be covered and the camera needs a firm mounting base.
