§ 01Overview
What the PFA137 is
The Dahua DH-PFA137 is the workhorse junction box in Dahua's accessory line-up, designed for the company's turret, eyeball and many dome cameras. It seats behind the camera and gives a sealed cavity for the network cable, connector and any pigtail, so the join is protected and hidden rather than left exposed on the wall.
It is aluminium alloy with a white finish, measures Ø122.0 mm by 34.2 mm at about 0.24 kg, uses an M20 (G1/2 inch) gland thread and is rated to a 1.0 kg load. It is the box most Dahua HDW-series turret and eyeball cameras call up under Accessory Selection, which is why installers keep them on the van.
Dahua does not publish a formal IP rating for this box; it is a weather-resistant aluminium housing that keeps the cable join dry once the entry is sealed. Compatibility is set by the camera's mounting pattern, so confirm the DH-PFA137 is listed on your camera's datasheet before ordering. A black DH-PFA137-B version is also made for darker installs.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the PFA137
Genuine Dahua part
As the factory box, the base profile and screw pattern match the camera bodies it is listed for, giving a flush, watertight seat rather than a forced fit.
Protects the connection
A sealed aluminium cavity keeps the cable and connector dry and out of sight, which is where outdoor cameras most often fail.
Durable in Australian conditions
Aluminium alloy with a sprayed finish resists UV, heat and coastal corrosion far better than plastic boxes.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Outdoor turret and eyeball installs
Seat a Dahua HDW turret or eyeball on the box under an eave or on a wall with the cable join sealed inside.
Mixed camera sites
Because it suits so many models, one box type covers most of the turret and eyeball cameras across a typical home or small-business job.
Rendered or uneven walls
The box gives a flat mounting face and hides any gap or oversized cable hole behind the camera.
Conduit terminations
Bring surface conduit into the M20 entry for a tidy, weather-resistant cable run.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the box
One DH-PFA137 junction box with an M20 water joint, three M4x12 screws, three ST4x25 screws, three plastic anchors and a wrench. The camera and network cable are not included.
Installation requirements
Fix the box to a flat wall or ceiling able to support several times the combined box and camera weight, using the supplied anchors in masonry. Route the cable through the M20 entry, seal it with the water joint for outdoor use, then mount the camera onto the box. Add outdoor silicone around the base on exposed walls.
