Product Description
A lockable DVR box like this one keeps your recorder out of reach without needing to hide it. It's built to stop someone opening the case, pulling a hard drive or unplugging cables — the most common way footage disappears after a break-in.
What it's for
The box is sized for compact DVR and small security recorder units, with external dimensions of approximately 180mm × 180mm. Check your DVR's own case dimensions before buying — "compact" covers a range of models, and the box only helps if the recorder actually fits inside.
Build
- Steel construction, so the panel can't just be prised open by hand
- Black protective coating for corrosion resistance
- Lockable front access panel — you keep the key, and it opens for maintenance, configuration or cable changes without exposing the recorder the rest of the time
Where it's used
Most installers fit these inside comms cupboards, plant rooms or other areas already restricted to staff, rather than relying on the box as the only line of defence. That's worth bearing in mind: it protects against casual tampering and opportunist theft, not a determined attacker with tools and time.
It suits offices, shops, homes and other CCTV installations where the DVR needs to stay accessible to authorised people but hidden from everyone else.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size DVR will fit in this box?
It's designed for compact DVR and small security recorder units, with external dimensions of approximately 180mm x 180mm — measure your recorder's case before ordering.
Can I still access the DVR once it's locked away?
Yes, the front access panel is lockable rather than sealed, so authorised personnel can open it for maintenance, configuration and cable management.
Will this stop someone breaking into it with tools?
It's built from steel with a lockable front to restrict unauthorised access and tampering, but the source doesn't claim it resists forced or vandal attack.
Where should I install the lock box?
It's commonly fitted in comms cupboards, equipment rooms or other controlled areas alongside the rest of the surveillance installation.
