§ 01Overview
What the DS-1280ZJ-XS is
The Hikvision DS-1280ZJ-XS is a compact camera junction box for the company's smaller dome and bullet cameras. It mounts flat behind the camera and creates a protected cavity for the network cable, connector and any pigtail, so the join is hidden and shielded rather than left exposed on the wall.
It is aluminium alloy with a surface-sprayed finish and a cable hole in the bracket for a clean entry. It measures Φ100 mm by 43.2 mm by 129 mm, weighs about 320 g, and is rated to a 4.5 kg maximum load, which is well above the weight of any compatible compact camera.
Hikvision sizes its junction boxes to camera families rather than single models, so 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-XS
Genuine Hikvision part
As the factory DS-1280ZJ-XS, the base and screw pattern match the camera bodies it is designed for, for a flush, gap-free fit.
Weatherproofs the join
The aluminium cavity keeps the cable and connector sealed rather than exposed, which is where outdoor cameras most often fail.
Strong and corrosion-resistant
Aluminium alloy with a sprayed finish holds up to UV and coastal air, with a 4.5 kg load rating to spare.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Compact outdoor cameras
Seat a smaller dome or bullet on the box with the cable join sealed inside, away from rain and UV.
Tidy residential installs
Hide the cable entry behind a compact camera for a clean, professional look on a home.
Uneven or rendered walls
The box gives a flat mounting face and hides any gap between the camera base and the surface.
Retrofits
Cover an existing cable hole when swapping to a new compact Hikvision camera.
§ 06Setup
