Product SKU: DS-1280ZJ-DM55-BLK
Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-1280ZJ-DM55-BLK is a black junction box designed for compatible Hikvision dome cameras where a dedicated mounting base and organised cable routing are required. Constructed from alloy with a sprayed black surface treatment, the round enclosure measures approximately Ø155.02 mm × 35 mm and weighs around 300 g. Integrated cable outlets provide a practical route for camera wiring when connectors cannot be recessed directly into the wall or ceiling surface. The junction box supports a maximum load of 2 kg and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations when the specified waterproof rubber and correct sealing are used. Its Hikvision Black finish complements compatible black dome cameras, making it useful across commercial, retail, warehouse and other CCTV installations where a neat, purpose-built mounting accessory is preferred.
Key Capabilities
Dedicated Dome Camera Junction Box
The DS-1280ZJ-DM55-BLK provides a purpose-designed mounting base for select compatible Hikvision dome cameras. It is especially useful where the installation needs additional space around the camera base for routing and managing cabling.
Integrated Cable Outlets
Built-in cable outlets allow wiring to be routed through the junction box rather than left loose around the camera base. This helps produce a cleaner finished installation when cables cannot be concealed directly inside the wall or ceiling cavity.
Alloy Construction
The junction box uses a rigid alloy body with a sprayed black surface treatment. This provides a solid camera mounting platform while keeping the accessory compact at approximately 300 g before the camera is fitted.
Indoor and Outdoor Installation
Hikvision specifies the DS-1280ZJ-DM55-BLK for both indoor and outdoor conditions. Outdoor installations require waterproof rubber and correct sealing around the mounting surface and cable entry to maintain a suitable finished installation.
2 kg Maximum Load Capacity
The junction box supports a maximum specified load of 2 kg. Hikvision also requires the supporting wall or ceiling structure to carry at least three times the combined weight of the camera and junction box.
Best For
- Commercial CCTV installations: Provides a dedicated mounting base for compatible dome cameras where cable connections need additional space.
- Wall and ceiling mounting: Suitable for compatible cameras installed on flat structural surfaces.
- Black camera installations: The Hikvision Black finish coordinates with compatible black dome cameras and darker architectural finishes.
- Outdoor camera locations: Suitable for outdoor conditions when installed with the required waterproof rubber and correct sealing.
Why Choose the DS-1280ZJ-DM55-BLK
The DS-1280ZJ-DM55-BLK is a practical accessory when a compatible Hikvision dome camera needs a dedicated junction box rather than being fixed directly to the wall or ceiling. Its 155.02 mm diameter provides a substantial mounting base, while the integrated cable outlets help keep wiring organised around the camera. Alloy construction and a 2 kg maximum load capacity support a solid installation, and the black finish complements compatible dark-coloured Hikvision cameras. Available through Security Wholesalers, this junction box is particularly useful where installers need a clean camera mounting point, additional cable-routing flexibility and an accessory designed to match the physical interface of the selected dome camera.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Confirm the exact Hikvision camera model before ordering. Similar-looking dome cameras can use different hole patterns and junction boxes, so visual appearance alone should not be used to determine accessory compatibility.
Buyer Tip: For outdoor installations, plan the waterproofing as part of the mount rather than adding it afterwards. Hikvision specifically requires waterproof rubber, and the cable entry and mounting surface also need to be sealed correctly.

FAQs
- What is the Hikvision DS-1280ZJ-DM55 Black used for?
The Hikvision DS-1280ZJ-DM55 Black is a junction box for compatible Hikvision dome cameras. It provides a protected space for camera cable connections and helps create a neater wall or ceiling installation. The round alloy enclosure includes cable outlets and is particularly useful where connectors cannot be concealed inside the mounting surface or where a dedicated camera mounting base is preferred.
- What are the dimensions of the DS-1280ZJ-DM55 Black?
The DS-1280ZJ-DM55 Black measures approximately 155.02 mm in diameter and 35 mm high. It weighs about 300 g. These dimensions should be checked against the intended camera, available mounting area and cable route before installation, particularly where the box must fit around existing conduits, ceiling features or other equipment.
- How much weight can the DS-1280ZJ-DM55 Black support?
Hikvision specifies a maximum load capacity of 2 kg for the DS-1280ZJ-DM55 Black. The wall or ceiling structure should also be capable of supporting at least three times the combined weight of the camera and junction box. This requirement helps ensure the completed installation has an appropriate structural safety margin.
- Can the DS-1280ZJ-DM55 Black be used outdoors?
Yes. Hikvision specifies the junction box for both indoor and outdoor conditions. Outdoor installations require waterproof rubber and correct sealing around the cable entry and mounting surface. The box itself is made from alloy with a sprayed surface treatment, but weather resistance still depends on the complete installation being sealed correctly.
- Does the DS-1280ZJ-DM55 Black provide cable outlets?
Yes. The junction box is designed with cable outlets so camera wiring can be routed into or through the enclosure rather than being left loose around the camera base. This is useful when cable connections need additional space or when the mounting surface does not provide a suitable cavity for concealing connectors.
- What material is the DS-1280ZJ-DM55 Black made from?
The DS-1280ZJ-DM55 Black is made from alloy with a black sprayed surface treatment. The metal construction provides a rigid mounting base for a compatible dome camera, while the Hikvision Black finish is intended to coordinate with compatible black camera models and darker architectural finishes.
- Which cameras are compatible with the DS-1280ZJ-DM55 Black?
The DS-1280ZJ-DM55 Black is intended for select Hikvision dome cameras using the matching mounting pattern. Compatibility should be checked against the exact camera model before ordering because similar-looking Hikvision domes can use different junction boxes. Matching the camera and junction box through Security Wholesalers before installation helps avoid selecting an incompatible accessory.
- What should I check before installing the DS-1280ZJ-DM55 Black?
Confirm the exact camera compatibility, mounting-surface strength, cable route and indoor or outdoor environment before installation. The box should be fixed to a flat surface, and outdoor use requires the specified waterproof rubber and proper sealing. Also confirm that the combined camera and junction-box weight remains within the structural and 2 kg load requirements.
