Hikvision DS-1280ZJ-M Junction Box for Dome Cameras, Indoor & Outdoor Use, Load Capacity 4.5kg, Black

The Hikvision DS-1280ZJ-M-B is a mounting and cable-management box for compatible Hikvision dome cameras — it gives you a solid fixing point and hides the cabling that would otherwise sit exposed under or beside the dome.

What it actually does

Rather than running network and power cables across the wall or ceiling to the camera, this box lets you route them up through the bottom cable entry, concealing the connection inside the housing. That keeps the joint out of sight and out of the weather, and gives you one less thing to snag when cleaning or servicing the camera.

Before you buy

Check the weight of your specific dome camera against the 4.5 kg limit — this box is built to support compatible Hikvision dome models within that figure, not general-purpose CCTV housings. Also confirm your camera's mounting pattern matches this junction box, since fixings vary between dome ranges. If you're installing outdoors, the aluminium alloy body is rated for that use, but the cable entry point should still be sealed properly during fitting to keep moisture out.
