Product Description
A steel lock box like this one exists to keep your DVR out of reach of anyone who might unplug it, swap the drive, or steal it outright — a real risk if the recorder sits in a hallway, shop, or shared cupboard rather than a locked office.
External size is 180mm × 180mm × 50mm — check this against your DVR's own case dimensions before ordering, since the internal usable space will be somewhat smaller once you allow for the steel walls and any mounting brackets inside.
What's actually inside the design
- Steel body with black coating — gives mechanical protection and resists corrosion, useful if it's mounted somewhere unheated or slightly damp.
- Hinged panel — opens for fitting the DVR and for routine access (changing a hard drive, checking connections) without unscrewing the whole box off the wall.
- Knockouts for cable entry — let you bring power and video/network cables in tidily rather than through a gap round the door.
- Ventilation openings — passive airflow so the enclosed DVR doesn't overheat, which matters because a sealed metal box with no airflow can cause a recorder to run hot.
Where it fits
Designed for wall mounting in comms cupboards, plant rooms, or anywhere a DVR needs to be out of casual reach — suited to residential, retail and small commercial CCTV setups alike. Confirm your DVR's footprint fits before buying, as fit is the main thing to get right here.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the 180 x 180 x 50mm dimensions internal or external?
They're external measurements of the enclosure, so the usable internal space for your DVR will be smaller once the steel walls are accounted for — measure your recorder first.
Can I route cables in without drilling extra holes?
Yes, the enclosure has cable entry knockouts built in for organised routing of power and video cables.
Will the DVR overheat inside a sealed metal box?
The enclosure includes ventilation openings for passive airflow, which helps with cooling, though placement in a well-ventilated spot is still worth considering.
How do I access the DVR after it's mounted?
The enclosure has a hinged opening panel, so you can get to the DVR for maintenance or drive changes without removing the whole unit from the wall.
