Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-1280ZJ-DM45 is a purpose-built junction box designed to provide a clean, secure and professional mounting base for compatible Hikvision surveillance cameras. Constructed from aluminium alloy with a protective surface spray treatment, it helps conceal camera connectors, cable joints and wall or ceiling penetrations behind the camera. The junction box supports both side and bottom cable entry, with an interchangeable bottom waterproof cover and side gland nut that allow the cable-routing arrangement to be adapted during installation. Suitable for indoor and outdoor conditions when installed correctly, the DS-1280ZJ-DM45 measures Ø140 mm × 40 mm, weighs approximately 237 g and supports a maximum load of 3 kg. Waterproof rubber must be used for outdoor applications, and compatibility should be confirmed against the exact Hikvision camera model before ordering.
Key Capabilities
Aluminium Alloy Construction
The aluminium alloy housing provides a rigid and durable mounting base for compatible Hikvision cameras. A surface spray treatment protects the finish from everyday wear while providing a clean Hikvision White appearance suitable for residential and commercial installations.
Side or Bottom Cable Entry
The DS-1280ZJ-DM45 supports both side and bottom cable entry. This makes it suitable for installations using surface-mounted conduit as well as installations where the cable passes directly through the wall or ceiling behind the junction box.
Interchangeable Cover and Gland Nut
The bottom waterproof cover and side gland nut can be interchanged to suit the required cable-entry direction. This provides greater flexibility on-site and helps installers accommodate existing conduit, wall penetrations and cable paths.
3 kg Maximum Load
The junction box supports a maximum load of 3 kg, providing a secure mounting platform for compatible Hikvision cameras. The mounting surface must also be capable of supporting at least three times the combined weight of the camera and junction box.
Best For
- Concealed Camera Connections: Provides an enclosed area behind the camera for concealing Ethernet connectors, power connections and excess cable, creating a neater installation.
- Surface-Mounted Conduit: The side cable inlet allows conduit and surface-run cabling to enter the junction box without requiring cables to be sharply bent behind the camera.
- Rear Cable Entry: The bottom inlet supports installations where the camera cable passes directly through the mounting surface and into the rear of the junction box.
- Indoor and Outdoor Installations: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor conditions when installed on a flat surface and properly sealed with the required waterproof rubber.
Why Choose the DS-1280ZJ-DM45
The DS-1280ZJ-DM45 provides a more professional and protected installation than mounting a camera directly over exposed connectors or cable penetrations. Its aluminium alloy construction offers greater rigidity and durability than basic plastic mounting boxes, while the Hikvision White finish is designed to complement compatible Hikvision camera housings. The choice of side or bottom cable entry makes the junction box suitable for a variety of cabling arrangements, including surface conduit, through-wall cabling and ceiling installations. The interchangeable waterproof cover and side gland nut also allow the cable-entry configuration to be changed during installation. With a compact Ø140 mm × 40 mm profile and a maximum load capacity of 3 kg, it is a practical mounting accessory for compatible Hikvision cameras requiring a secure and tidy connection point.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Hikvision produces several junction boxes with similar appearances but different mounting-hole patterns and diameters. Confirm that the DS-1280ZJ-DM45 is listed as a compatible accessory for your exact camera model before ordering. For outdoor installations, use the required waterproof rubber and ensure all unused cable-entry points are properly sealed.

Ideal Use Cases
Commercial Ceiling Installations
Provides a tidy transition between an in-ceiling cable run and the camera, helping conceal connectors and cable penetrations in offices, retail stores, corridors and other visible areas.
External Wall Mounting
Suitable for mounting compatible cameras on external walls where the cable enters from behind or through side-mounted conduit. Waterproof rubber and correct sealing are required for outdoor applications.
Retail and Office Fit-Outs
The Hikvision White finish and enclosed cabling provide a cleaner appearance than exposed connectors or an unfinished wall penetration, making it suitable for customer-facing environments.
Surface Conduit Installations
The side inlet is useful where network or power cabling is installed in surface-mounted conduit and cannot enter through the wall or ceiling directly behind the camera.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your Hikvision camera documentation identifies the DS-1280ZJ-DM45 as a compatible junction box and you require a Ø140 mm aluminium mounting box with side or bottom cable entry.
- Choose a different model if: Your camera requires a different base diameter, mounting-hole pattern, load rating or junction-box series. Similar Hikvision camera housings do not necessarily use the same mounting accessory.
- The Hikvision DS-1280ZJ-DM45 can be ordered through Security Wholesalers. Confirm compatibility with your camera model before purchasing, particularly when replacing an existing junction box or working with a newly released camera series.
Additional Information
Confirm compatibility against the complete Hikvision camera model number before ordering. Waterproof rubber is required for outdoor applications.
