01Overview
What the DS-1280ZJ-S is
The Hikvision DS-1280ZJ-S is a camera junction box with an integrated cable gland, designed to sit between a Hikvision camera and the mounting surface. It gives you a sealed cavity to coil and protect the network cable and connector, so the join is hidden and shielded rather than exposed on the wall.
It fits a wide range of Hikvision cameras, including the 2CD26 and 2CD2T bullets, 2CD22 and 2CD42 domes, and the 2CD4A, E16D5 and 2CE1D series. The body is machined from aluminium alloy with a sprayed Hikvision-white finish, measures 137 mm by 54 mm by 171.5 mm, and weighs about 660 g. The gland on the box clamps around the cable to keep the entry weather-resistant.
Because Hikvision junction boxes are matched to camera families rather than single models, always confirm the mounting accessory listed on your camera's datasheet before ordering.

04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-1280ZJ-S
Sealed cable gland
The built-in gland clamps the cable at the entry point, keeping water out along the lead rather than relying on silicone alone.
Protects the connection
The aluminium cavity keeps the network cable, RJ45 and any pigtail out of the weather and out of sight, which is where most outdoor cable faults start.
Built to last outdoors
Aluminium alloy with a sprayed finish resists corrosion in Australian coastal and exposed conditions far better than plastic boxes.
05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Outdoor turret and bullet installs
Mount a 2CD2T bullet or 2CD22/2CD42 dome with the cable join sealed inside the box, away from rain and UV.
Surface conduit runs
Bring the cable into the gland for a tidy, sealed entry where cable runs in external conduit.
Rough or uneven surfaces
On brick, render or timber the box gives a flat mounting face and hides any gap or oversized cable hole behind the camera.
Retrofits and tidy-ups
Cover an existing cable penetration when upgrading to a new Hikvision camera on the same spot.

Fix the box to a flat wall or ceiling that can support several times the combined weight of the box and camera, using suitable wall plugs in masonry.
